Oracle Database History

Since version 5, Oracle's RDBMS release numbering has used the following codes:

• Oracle v5
• Oracle v6
• Oracle7: 7.0.16–7.3.4
• Oracle8 Database: 8.0.3–8.0.6
• Oracle8i Database Release 1: 8.1.5.0–8.1.5.1
• Oracle8i Database Release 2: 8.1.6.0–8.1.6.3
• Oracle8i Database Release 3: 8.1.7.0–8.1.7.4
• Oracle9i Database Release 1: 9.0.1.0–9.0.1.5 (patchset as of December 2003)
• Oracle9i Database Release 2: 9.2.0.1–9.2.0.8 (patchset as of April 2007)
• Oracle Database 10g Release 1: 10.1.0.2–10.1.0.5 (patchset as of February 2006)
• Oracle Database 10g Release 2: 10.2.0.1–10.2.0.5 (patchset as of April 2010)
• Oracle Database 11g Release 1: 11.1.0.6–11.1.0.7 (patchset as of September 2008)
• Oracle Database 11g Release 2: 11.2.0.1–11.2.0.3 (patchset as of September 2011)

The version-numbering syntax within each release follows the pattern: major.maintenance.application-server.component-specific.platform-specific.

For example, "10.2.0.1 for 64-bit Solaris" means: 10th major version of Oracle, maintenance level 2, Oracle Application Server (OracleAS) 0, level 1 for Solaris 64-bit.

另外，Fenng之前做了一个关于数据库版本使用情况的调查，从图中可以看出现阶段中国地区，使用10gR2版本的仍是绝大多数。
