Apparently this server is automatically replacing straight singlequotes with curly ones, even in my comment! Still, the suggestion from my previous post above still applies; just do the replace on your own local machine, instead of in a comment here.

If anyone gets an “invalid character” error after copy & pasting in the query from the article:

select * from v$version where banner like ‘Oracle%’;”

Try replacing the “curly” singlequote characters around “Oracle%” with regular straight singlequotes:

select * from v$version where banner like ‘Oracle%’;

The above query will not work in oracle
use the below query
Select * from v$version;

select * from versions;

The above SQL will do.

It was a very helpful to find the oracle version information through sqlplus.

Thanks,
