How to Find Oracle Database Patches Installed

Before installing any patch or using any command use $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch in your
path variable as in below example, otherwise opatch command will not work.

[oracle@~]$ cat .bash_profile

# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
export PATH

Now go to command prompt and execute the opatch lsinventory

[oracle@12431716]$ opatch lsinventory
