Information on the versions of the database software and the generated database instances is managed in Registration Management.
A series of DBM commands is provided for maintaining the installations(s) of the database software and for registering and deleting database instances. Many of these commands, however, do not need to be called explicitly during normal database operation. Instead, they are called by installation programs belonging to the database software or by the database application.
