In the Oracle version 9.3.0.5.0, what does each number shows?

by

Oracle version number refers:

  • 9 – Major database release number
  • 3 – Database maintenance release number
  • 0 – Application server release number
  • 5 – Component Specific release number
  • 0 – Platform Specific release number

It seems there might be a misunderstanding in your version number. Oracle Database version numbers typically consist of a series of dot-separated numbers representing different components. However, as of my last knowledge update in January 2022, there is no version 9.3.0.5.0 of Oracle Database.

As of my last update, Oracle Database version numbers generally follow the format: MAJOR.MINOR.UPDATE.PATCH. Each component signifies different information:

  1. MAJOR: Represents a major release with significant new features and changes.
  2. MINOR: Indicates smaller, incremental updates with new features or enhancements.
  3. UPDATE: Refers to patch sets or maintenance releases that include bug fixes and minor improvements.
  4. PATCH: Represents specific patches for addressing critical issues.

If there have been new releases or updates after my last update, I recommend checking the official Oracle documentation or Oracle’s website for the most current information on Oracle Database versions.
