Oracle 12c : relation between OJVM and JDK

Sep 7, 2018 10:20AM

Hi,

I've and Oracle 12cR2 database (12.2.0.1) on Linux and did apply de July 2018 CPU (or RUR as I think it's called nowadays). My question:

What is the relation between OJVM and the $ORACLE_HOME/jdk? The versions are different:

$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin/java -version

java version "1.8.0_91"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

and

SQL> SELECT dbms_java.get_ojvm_property(PROPSTRING=>'java.version') FROM dual;

DBMS_JAVA.GET_OJVM_PROPERTY(PROPSTRING=>'JAVA.VERSION')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.8.0_181

I thought the versions should be the same??

By the way: what is an easy entry point (url) to download the CPU's? By chance I stumbled on this url:
