Table for Bugs and Patching

PROMPT Find specific package version
select text from dba_source
where
name = upper( '&PackageName')
and line < 3;

PROMPT Find bugs already installed fixed in your system
select bug_number
from ad_bugs
where bug_number ='&Bug_Number';

PROMPT Find patches applied
select substr(patch_name,1,12) patch_num
from ad_applied_patches
where patch_name like '%&Patch_Number%';


NOTE: A specific bug maybe fixed by multiple patches so it might be good to look for the bug number, instead of the patch number to see if that bug is fixed already on your system. Another way is to look at the file version mentioned in the patch and check if you have that version or higher.
