To determine the IP address of the server where the Oracle database is currently located, you can follow these steps:

Firstly, log in to the server where the Oracle database is located.

2. Use the following command in the command line terminal to obtain the server’s IP address:

hostname -I

This command will return the IP address currently being used by the server. If there are multiple IP addresses, they will be displayed separated by spaces.

If you want to view the server’s IP address in an Oracle database session, you can use SQL*Plus or SQLcl to connect to the database and execute the following SQL query.

SELECT UTL_INADDR.get_host_address as host_address FROM dual;

This SQL query will return the IP address of the database server.

By using these methods, you can easily query the IP address of the server where the Oracle database is located.
