SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Dec 15 09:27:14 2003

Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production

It's windows98. I do not have anything else handy.

I'm not quite sure about common sense here. DBA who creates such names for his/her trusting users would have some headache anyway. But do not mix sqlplus bugs that can be windows dependent and the question Mladen asked.
