Hello every one!!!!!! I have a question for you.
Has any one used an 8.0.4 Oracle client to access an 8.1.7 Oracle database?

Here is the environment:

Windows 2000 platform for both client and DB server
8.0.4 client is on a web server in the DMZ

I would like to know successes, failures, adjustments that were made to make it work, etc..

Thank you in advance for any information you can give me. Have a great weekend!!!!!

It will work, but you will not gain any benifits of the 8.1.7 SQL*Net client(i.e. performance and stability over 8.0.4 which is nolonger supported by Oracle). You should not have to make any adjustments at all other than the standard tnsnames.ora entry.

I would recommend upgrading the client as soon as you can though.
