Hi friends,
How to check the Oracle version from the installed Oracle database RDBMS?
Using the following queries, we can check the version of Oracle has been installed.
SQL>select * from v$version;
BANNER
—————————————————————-
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 – Product
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 – Production
CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.1.0 – Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 – Production
SQL>select * from product_component_version;

NLSRTL 10.2.0.1.0 Production
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition 10.2.0.1.0 Prod
PL/SQL 10.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: 10.2.0.1.0 Production
Interpretation and understanding of Oracle version numbering:
First digit is Major database release number
Second digit is Database maintenance release number
Third digit is Application server release number
Fourth digit is Component specific release number
Fifth digit is Platform specific release number
For Example take output of above sample:
Oracle 10.2.0.1.0
Explained:
Oracle 10 <=Major database release number
.2 <=Database maintenance release number
.0 <=Application server release number
.1 <=Component specific release number
.0 <=Platform specific release number
Thanks and regards,
