You can try:
SELECT * FROM V$VERSION
or
SELECT version FROM V$INSTANCE
or
BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(DBMS_DB_VERSION.VERSION || '.' || DBMS_DB_VERSION.RELEASE); END;

I am not sure what exactly you mean by "what type of database am using " but you can try this:

select from v$version;*

This will give you detailed version number of the database components. You can also use

select from PRODUCT_COMPONENT_VERSION;*

to get various components of the DB with their version.
