There are actually a couple of ways to do this. For versions prior to 8i, there's a utility in the $ORACLE_HOME/orainst called 'inspdver'. This will list each product and version on your server. You can also inspect the file $ORACLE_HOME/orainst/unix.rgs. With Oracle 8i, you can run the Oracle Universal Installer, then click Installed Products at the beginning. Another way is to run the following SQL: SELECT * FROM PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION ;
