Sqlplus determining Enterprise or Standard Editions.

Question

Hello.
Is there anyway from sqlplus to tell if you are using on a enterprise server or standard server? select * from v$instance doesn't suggest anything.

I don't get the same results when I run it (HP-UX 11.11 or Windows XP Pro). This may depend on the environment.
