There are numerous ways to determine to which database you are connected. For example, get_application_property(connect_string) or NAME in v$database. If you want to know the version of the database then look in v$version.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

But the problem is I do not have the database in my site. The thing that I have is just the source code only. That means I cannot run the application.

So, Can I check the database name that the application use through the okracle form.

Thank you.

Best regards
Andrene

You can get the table name by looking at the block's 'Base Table', and you can determine (some) of its columns by finding the items that have 'Base Table Item' defined as 'True'.
