Locating the Oracle Database Version

July 28th, 2008 Posted in Oracle Tip

Ever need to know what version your database is running?  Well as the DBA you should already know.  I also know what major version I am running on all of my instances, however I am not always shure what patchset I am running.  To look it up it is pretty simple.

SQL> SELECT * FROM SYS.V_$VERSION;

or

SQL> SELECT * FROM v$instance
