Hi all , is there any query to find out the Database Owner(who has created the database) name?

Currently we are trying with below query

SELECT host_name FROM v$instance

Is there any other way to find the Owner. please reply.

ok, if we are creating multiple instances then owner would be same ? or it would be the one which we will give at the time of database creation?

HUH? No username is given or required to create new Oracle database.
SYS schema always owns DB metadata objects.

What business problem are you trying to solve?
What will you do different after this question has been answered?

Instance owner is the one that starts it, it is not necessary the same one for all instances of a database.
Database owner is the one that owns the database files.
