How to get Oracle DB Server FULL VERSION without sqlplus?

Chi TranMay 22 2025

Hello all,

Is there a way to get full version of DB Server without invoking command lines or tools like SQLPLUS?

for example

```
SQL*Plus: Release 23.0.0.0.0 - Production on Thu May 22 03:32:39 2025
Version 23.8.0.25.04
```

I want to get 23.8.0.25.04

In Linux, it seems there is a file called /rdbms/lib/env_rdbms.mk that holds this information .

But I am completely blind on Windows, I have checked inventory.xml , comp.xml , etc and it's not there. Some other files like oracle.server.xml also only holds generic version 23.0.0.0.0 but not 23.8.0.25.04 .

Note that while I could file the existence of this string in some log files. However, due to log files are not reliable for automated parser I can't use it.

Appreciate all the help here. TIA
