I do not think that there is anyother way than to query from v$tables/views. yes, from pfile/spfile or from v$parameter you can get compatibility of database version, but exact version you can get only from v$tables/views another option could be to show from OEM,which again internally uses the same objects..
thanks!

Subject: Re: How can I identify the database
Re-reading the original question, I'm thinking that maybe you need a script of some sort, with limited privileges, to run on (or query) multiple databases, to determine what kind they are?
If so, and Gints suggestion of querying v$version doesn't work (which it should), I think the only other way would be to query some of the data dictionary tables to determine the max database size (which may not always be accurate). As I recollect, the Express version has a max database size of 4GB, so "most" databases under 4GB would probably be a likely candidate for the Express version, while those above 4GB obviously wouldn't be.
