Version String Information

The Oracle Service Cloud driver has a version string of the format:
XX.YY.ZZZZ(BAAAA, UBBBB, JDDDDDD)
The Driver Manager on UNIX and Linux has a version string of the format:
XX.YY.ZZZZ(UBBBB)
The component for the Unicode conversion tables (ICU) has a version string of the format:
XX.YY.ZZZZ
where:
XX is the major version of the product.
YY is the minor version of the product.
ZZZZ is the build number of the driver or ICU component.
AAAA is the build number of the driver's bas component.
BBBB is the build number of the driver's utl component.
DDDDDD is the version of the Java components used by the driver.
For example:
07.16.0002 (b0001, u0002, J000001)
      |__|  |___|  |___|  |______|
     Driver  Bas    Utl     Java
On Windows, you can check the version string through the properties of the driver DLL. Right-click the driver DLL and select Properties. The Properties dialog box appears. On the Details tab, the File Version will be listed with the other file properties.
You can always check the version string of a driver on Windows by looking at the About tab of the driver’s Setup dialog.
On UNIX and Linux, you can check the version string by using the test loading tool shipped with the product. This tool, ivtestlib for 32-bit drives and ddtestlib for 64-bit drivers, is located in install_directory/bin.
The syntax for the tool is:
ivtestlib shared_object
or
ddtestlib shared_object
For example, for the 32-bit Oracle Service Cloud driver on Oracle Solaris:
ivtestlib ivrnow27.so
returns:
07.16.0001 (B0002, U0001)
For example, for the Driver Manager on Solaris:
ivtestlib libodbc.so
returns:
07.16.0001 (U0001)
For example, for the 64-bit Driver Manager on Solaris:
ddtestlib libodbc.so
returns:
07.16.0001 (U0001)
For example, for 32-bit ICU component on Solaris:
ivtestlib libivicu27.so
07.16.0001
Note: On AIX, Linux, and Solaris, the full path to the driver does not have to be specified for the test loading tool. The HP-UX version of the tool, however, requires the full path.
