      SHOW VERSION

1  –  Description

    The SHOW VERSION command displays the following information about
    one or more respositories that you have invoked and to which the
    CDO session is currently attached:

    o  Version number of Oracle CDD/Repository that is installed on
       your system

    o  Major and minor version numbers of each repository

    o  Fully qualified name of each repository

    o  Version numbers of Oracle CDD/Repository with which each
       repository is compatible

    If you issue the SHOW VERSION command and you have not invoked a
    repository during the CDO session, CDO displays only the version
    of Oracle CDD/Repository that is currently installed.

    Commands such as DEFINE FIELD or SHOW FIELD will invoke a
    repository; however, the SET DEFAULT or SHOW DEFAULT commands
    will not. If you issue a DIRECTORY command and the repository
    contains elements, the session will invoke a repository.

2  –  Examples

    1.CDO>  SHOW DEFAULT
      CDO>  SHOW VERSION
      Installed version of Oracle CDD/Repository is V7.0.1

      In this example, the SHOW DEFAULT command does not invoke
      a repository. Therefore, the SHOW VERSION command displays
      only the version of Oracle CDD/Repository that is currently
      installed.

    2.CDO>  SHOW FIELD
      Definition of field A1
      |   Datatype                 text size is 1 characters
      |   Row_major array          1:4
      Definition of field A1_KEY
      |   Datatype                 text size is 1 characters
         .
         .
         .
      CDO> SHOW VERSION
      Installed version of Oracle CDD/Repository is V7.0.1
      Attached to repository
      CDD$R0:[SMITH.REPOS3]
      Repository Version V6.1 / V7.0.1
      Internal Major Version 26
      Internal Minor Version 3

      In this example, the SHOW FIELD command invokes a repository.
      Consequently, the SHOW VERSION command displays information
      about the repository to which it is attached.
