How can I find current oracle client version ? We are using oracle 10.2.0.2 with client 9.2 . I need to know exact version with patch level of the client.
Please help
Hi
This can be done by just executing tnsping and piping the output to a file and parsing that file for the version info. tnsping will get installed with each client install regardless of the install options choosen and itu2019s version is the same as the Oracle client dll versions. So this is what we can do:
Have a text file dynamically created with the version banner in it:
a. create a batch file called version.bat
b. put 1 line in test.bat:
tnsping > version.txt
c. execute version.bat
d. version.txt will have your version string in it
In the event of multiple Oracle homes, the one that is set as the default is the one that will be shown in this version information.
Thanks

Hi all,
The suggestion from Stefan is the only "known" method to find quickly the version for the oracle client 9i.
unfortunately, it does not work for all operating systems.
If you are on those OS, then the best is to download the latest one, and install it, that way you know you are in hte latest one.
Alternatively, you can extract it and compare the sizes and dates, that way you know if you have the latest one and, if not, you cn install it

Edit: couldn's see the reply from Stefan. I will also try his suggestion for 9.2
