Obtaining Database PSU history from SQL

It is possible to determine all Patch Set Updates that has been applied to a database using a simple SQL statement - but note that this will only retrieve the details of patchsets that contained a database element (i.e. you had to run a SQL script in as part of the patch).

Note: It is better to use the opatch utility to retrieve the details of all patches and patchsets applied to an environment. However, this query may still prove useful.
