Hi All,

We normally have Oracle_home in /etc/oratab file.
In which table we can get value of ORACLE_HOME if we don't want to use /etc/oratab?

Pls chk this link:

http://www.psoug.org/reference/environ_vars.html

as per this link "SELECT * FROM sysman.mgmt$software_homes;" identifies home directories for Oracle products.
When run this query i am getting following message:

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only

how this error can be rectified?

alter database open;

But if it is not open it is likely you have a problem.

Thanks all for your help

I have found a command which gives the oracle home value

select NVL(substr(file_spec, 1, instr(file_spec, '\', -1, 2) -1) , substr(file_spec, 1, instr(file_spec, '/', -1, 2) -1)) folder from dba_libraries where library_name = 'DBMS_SUMADV_LIB';


This works on all the Oracle versions

It is unfair to not post your source.
Maybe it is this Brian's post:
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/209200/102589/?srch=DBMS_SUMADV_LIB#msg_209200

Please note Frank's answer.

I'd also add this only reports the Oracle home you used when you created the database (actually when you ran catalog.sql)
