The structural parameters of bulges, disks and bars of a sample of nearly 1000 nearby galaxies are being determined through sophisticated image decomposition in the g, r and i bands. The sample is carefully drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 2 (SDSS DR2), contains 963 galaxies, of which 407 host AGN, and we show that it is representative of the galaxy and AGN populations in the local universe. A large number of other physical properties have also been determined for these galaxies within the SDSS collaboration. With these data, we reinforce several recent studies and find a number of results leading to new insights into how the different galaxy components relate to each other and the extent to which the hosts galaxies of AGN differ from quiescent galaxies.
