Re: Oracle 9i install gives 817 in v$version

Your ORACLE_HOME listing is of a
9iAS installation --- not the database
but the Application Server.
9iAS 1.0.2.x is on 5 CDs. Don't you
have the CDs with you now to check them ? Also, check to see if you have TWO_TASK
defined in your environment and you are
really connecting to a database running
from a different ORACLE_HOME.
If you connect as SYSTEM, query V$INSTANCE and V$DATABASE to get the Instance Name, Database Server Name and Database Name.

[9iAS also includes an RDBMS engine
as the Database Cache but it is not
supposed to be used as a Database itself]. Hemant K Chitale
