select sys context  USERENV   INSTANCE NAME   from dual     amp   select instance name from v instance    will give you the instance name   You can also use select   from global name  to view the global name of the instance

I know this is an old question but I did try all the above answers but didnt work in my case  What ultimately helped me out is      SHOW PARAMETER instance name
