Patch attached; have tried it on Linux + Oracle 10g, 9.2, and Solaris + Oracle 7.3.4, 8.0.6, 9.0.1, 9.2. 7.3 doesn't report the version through _SQLPLUS_RELEASE, however it fell back to one of the other methods correctly. -- Andy Hassall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / Space: disk usage analysis tool <http://www.andyh.co.uk> / <http://www.andyhsoftware.co.uk/space>
