The cmdlet returns the [`VEORDatabase`](veordatabase.md)`[]` array that contains backed-up Oracle databases.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Getting All Oracle Databases Within Specified Restore Session

This example shows how to get a list of all Oracle databases within the specified restore session.

```
$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession
Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session[0]
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VEORRestoreSession`](get-veorrestoresession.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$session` variable.

   The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In this example, it is the first restore session in the array.

2. Run the `Get-VEORDatabase` cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `Session` parameter value.

### Example 2. Getting Oracle Databases with Specified Name

This example shows how to get all Oracle databases with a specific name within the specified restore session.

```
$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession
Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name "orcl"
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VEORRestoreSession`](get-veorrestoresession.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$session` variable.

::: example
### Example 3. Getting Oracle Databases with Specific Names Located in Specific Oracle Home Directories

This example shows how to get Oracle databases with the specified names that are located in the specified Oracle Home directories.

```
$session = Get-VEORRestoreSession
$dbnames = @("orcl1", "orcl2")
$oraclehomepaths = @("E:\app\administrator\product\19.3.0\dbhome_1", "E:\app\administrator\product\19.3.0\dbhome_2")
Get-VEORDatabase -Session $session[0] -Name @dbnames -OracleHome @oraclehomepaths
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VEORRestoreSession`](get-veorrestoresession.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$session` variable.

   The cmdlet will return an array of active restore sessions. Note the ordinal number of the necessary restore session. In this example, it is the first restore session in the array.

2. Declare the `$dbnames` variable. Assign to this variable an array with the names of the necessary Oracle databases.
3. Declare the `$oraclehomepaths` variable. Assign to this variable an array with the necessary Oracle Home paths.
4. Run the `Get-VEORDatabase` cmdlet. Set the `$session` variable as the `Session` parameter value and select the necessary restore session. Set the `@dbnames` variable as the `Name` parameter value. Set the `@oraclehomepaths` variable as the `OracleHome` parameter value.
