Hi Fred,
It is all about timing... I am planning to move to 7.5 just as soon as
my provisioning group can get my new server in place. But we have some
Sybase licensing issues that have necessitated a migration away from
Sybase "ASAP". So I am trying to make Oracle work with my existing
5.1.2 server while I wait. If that proves to be too difficult, we'll
jump to 7.5 and Oracle.
Back in the 5.1.2 realm, a kind soul out there did make the Oracle
8.1.7 client available to me (Thanks M!). Does anyone have a feel for
whether or not this 8.1.7 client will work against an Oracle 10
server? The 5.1.2 compatibility matrix specifies Oracle server 8 or 9.
I don't think 10 existed at the time. Is Oracle backward-compatible
enough to support the 8 client?
I realize that this configuration is totally unsupported... just
hoping to save some time.
Thanks.
Larry

I did some searching and it appears it is no longer available for
download from Oracle. My best guess would be a Google search or to
contact your Oracle salesperson. Is there any reason you have to
stay on ARS 5.1.2?
