    I was just asked to see what version/type of Oracle was installed on an Win NT 4.0 box. I know I can connect to the database and type Select * from v$version. But this only gives me the version number(Oracle 8i Release 8.1.6.0.0). What I would like to know is if the machine was installed with Oracle Workgroup, Oracle Personal Edition, Enterprise Edition, Oracle Client, etc. in addition to just the version number.

    Thanks.

    This appears when I log into SQL*Plus as system/manager:

    Verbunden mit:
    Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production
    With the Partitioning option
    JServer Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production

    Hope that is what you are looking for.

    In any time you can execute statment:
    select * from v$version;
    and see something like this:

    BANNER

    PL/SQL Release 8.1.5.0.0 - Production
    CORE Version 8.1.3.0.0 - Production
    TNS for Linux: Version 8.1.5.0.0 - Production

    dknight,

    That is what I am looking for, but when I do the same thing I get:

    Connected to:
    Oracle8i Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production
    JServer Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production

    Based off your reply and what I get, I think it could be safe to say the machine doesn't have Enterprise Edition installed. But which edition does it have? The mystery continues.

    There is also a table called v$option, which tells you which of the optional components you have installed.

    Try executing your Oracle Universal Installer. There is an option that diplays all your installed SW.
