 SQL Explorer reports Oracle 8 database as Oracle 7 database


Why does SQL Explorer report the database type as Oracle 7.3.2 when I connect to an Oracle 8 database?   

    SQL Explorer queries the SM$VERSION table using the sql statement "select 'Oracle ' || VERSION_TEXT from SM$VERSION" to determine the version of the database and it returns 7.3.2. To verify that you are connecting to an Oracle 8 database query GV$VERSION.

    example: select BANNER from GV$VERSION 3/26/99
