Rudy,
Why do you need to know what version your client is using? Wouldn't it be
easier just to program for the lowest common version in your environment?
And, just curious, what capability is in the 10g version that is not in the
8i version is giving you problems?

Not quite what I was looking for. Our developers are
going to have a need for both 8i and 10g clients on=20
their machines; they'll be developing under ColdFusion.
After a connection has been made to an Oracle server,
we need the session itself to find out what version
of Oracle client got fired up to make the connection.
But, thanks for your answer anyway.

You can find the client version in the client shared library:
strings $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.so | grep ^Version
Not sure if this helps you. I suspect there is an OCI call you can make to
get this, but I didn't take the time to search around for it.
