Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Retrieve Oracle Version
Hello.
I am a Unix administrator, learning Oracle. I'd like to have a Perl script run and collect the Oracle version from numerous servers, all running HP-UX.
I know that I can log in via sqlplus as the system user and run "SELECT * FROM V$VERSION" however, I was wondering if there was a way to get the Oracle version without accessing the system views. Ideally, I'd like to do this without connecting to the DB at all.
I appreciate any help.
Tom
