Oracle has a history of doing that - assuming you are checking via the
banner - You also can't do a custom SE install on at least some versions, it
then gets reported as EE via v$version. DBA_REGISTRY seems to be reliable
though for installed features at least though I'd like it to list features
and options (yes I know about v$option) so that people knew what they had
installed. Still one windows patch supplied a debug dll for distributed
transactions that then stopped TPMs working at all!
