Version numbering

Oracle products have historically followed their own release-numbering and naming conventions. With the Oracle RDBMS 10g release, Oracle Corporation started standardizing all current versions of its major products using the "10g" label, although some sources continued to refer to Oracle Applications Release 11i as Oracle 11i. Major database-related products and some of their versions include:

Since version 7, Oracle's RDBMS release numbering has used the following codes:

  • Oracle7: 7.0.16 — 7.3.4
  • Oracle8 Database: 8.0.3 — 8.0.6
  • Oracle8i Database Release 1: 8.1.5.0 — 8.1.5.1
  • Oracle8i Database Release 2: 8.1.6.0 — 8.1.6.3
  • Oracle8i Database Release 3: 8.1.7.0 — 8.1.7.4
  • Oracle9i Database Release 1: 9.0.1.0 — 9.0.1.5 (patchset as of December 2003)
  • Oracle9i Database Release 2: 9.2.0.1 — 9.2.0.8 (patchset as of April 2007)
  • Oracle Database 10g Release 1: 10.1.0.2 — 10.1.0.5 (patchset as of February 2006)
  • Oracle Database 10g Release 2: 10.2.0.1 — 10.2.0.4 (patchset as of April 2008)
  • Oracle Database 11g Release 1: 11.1.0.6 — 11.1.0.7 (patchset as of September 2008)

The version-numbering syntax within each release follows the pattern: major.maintenance.application-server.component-specific.platform-specific.

For example, "10.2.0.1 for 64-bit Solaris" means: 10th major version of Oracle, maintenance level 2, Oracle Application Server (OracleAS) 0, level 1 for Solaris 64-bit.

The Oracle Administrator's Guide offers further information on Oracle release numbers. Oracle Corporation provides a table[23] showing the latest patch-set releases by major release, operating-system, and hardware-architecture.
