To check the version of an Oracle database, you can utilize the following methods:

  1. Use the SQLPlus command line tool by typing ‘sqlplus /nolog’ in the command line to start SQLPlus. Then type ‘connect / as sysdba’ to connect to the database as a database administrator. Finally, type ‘select * from v$version;’ to check the database version.
  2. To use the SQL Developer tool, open SQL Developer and connect to the database you want to view. In the “Database” view, expand the “Connections” node, then expand the “Database Name” node, finally right-click on the “Version” node and select “Query.” This will display the database version information in the results window.
  3. Use SQL query: Connect to the database you want to view in a SQL client tool, and execute the following query statement: select * from v$version;. This will return a result set containing the database version information.

No matter which method you use, you can view the version information of the Oracle database.
