Oracle version

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 on HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64 version with database ORACLE 9.2.0.4.0.

In system status, it is showing,

DB client lib.-- OCI_920

DB releases --* ORACLE 9.2.0.., ORACLE 10.1.0.., ORACLE 10.2.0..*

DBSL version -- 640.00

DBSL Patch Level -- 220

I am new to this. I am confused with databse realease. it is ORACLE 10.2.0.. .

My oracle version is 9i then why it is showing 10.2.0 release.

Regards,

Ankit

My oracle version is 9i then why it is showing 10.2.0 release.

No, it does not say that your release is 10.2.0.

It does say that your Oracle client version is able to work with these Oracle server releases:

ORACLE 9.2.0.., ORACLE 10.1.0.., ORACLE 10.2.0.

Thanks Joe,

I want to know one more thing. I heard that Oracle 9i support has been end now. Can u tell me this means as we have support only from SAP with respect to our R/3 license. We didn't have support of Oracle saperately. Should we go for oracle upgrade.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello,

in short it means that Oracle will not correct any bugs in 9i that were not known before.

For details have a look at SAP note 925871.

And yes, an upgrade to 10g is recommended.
