Re: Oracle versioning discovery

Hi

If you wish to do it programatically then try looking in the $ORACLE_BAS E/oraInstaller/installerActions.log (the file name is from memory, i am sure you will find it). Parse the file and all of the installed versions are listed towards the end. Also you can search the oraInventory directory, there is a sub-directory for each component with subdirectories  for each version (i.e the name of the sub-directory is its version). You could connect to the database and query v$version. You can also use the OUI. This issue was discussed recently a few times in this group or the ORACLE-L list, search google for more info.

kind regards

Pete
