Dear Forum Participants,

there is a possibility to read after the session has been set up,
which client version is used?

Several Oracle client versions are installed on the desktop PCs.
How can I find out which version the application is actually using?

Thank you very much.

Is application 3-tier?

It depends.
DB Server only know what client details are provided.
you can query V$SESSION.PROGRAM
You can query V$SESSION.CLIENT_INFO

You can't push a string & force details from the client; what ever they may be.

What will you do differently after you know the client details?
