what version of oracle/rman are you using?the syntax is usable as of oracle 10g, not before ...
ASKER
I have 2 database one is oracle10g and another one is oracle9i on windows system. But I connect to oracle10g and issuing this commands. How can I find which version is my RMAN. How can I also find which database I am connected and what version at the RMAN prompt.
you surely connect with the rman from the oracle9 home ...
ensure you go to the path of oracle10 home, and run the rman from there.

>>How can I find which version is my RMAN
When you type RMAN at the command prompt it displays the version.
>> How can I also find which database I am connected and what version at the RMAN prompt.
I don't know of an RMAN command that provides this information. You should already know the database you are connecting to. Once you know that you can connect using sql*plus version.

I'm guessing here but based on some of your previous questions: Did you by chance do a FULL import from the 9i database into the 10g database?
ASKER
No I didn't do import full database anytime. Why are you asking this, just want to know so that I wont make that mistake in future
I'm just not sure how a fresh creation of a 10g database ends up with a 9i RMAN catalog.
