See the message I just posted. Why not reverse your upgrade order... (and separate database upgrades for client upgrades).
It is almost always the case that earlier clients work with later databases. -----Original Message----- From: David K.

Anyone know if the latest Oracle client (9.2.0.3) is compatible with Perl DBI/DBD? Also, wondering if you can use the 9i client and use the latest Perl DBI/DBD and talk not only to Oracle 9i Servers but 8i Servers as well (without having to re-make the perl DBD). We're migrating from Oracle Server 8.1.7.4 to 9.2.0.3, but want to get all of the clients upgraded to 9i first. They connect to the database via perl dbi/dbd, but we also have scripts execute on the Oracle Server itself (which will have still be using the old 8.1.7.4 client since it is the server and still is running 8.1.7.4 server). I hope this isn't too confusing.... -- David K. Whisler - (704) 687-3964 Oracle DBA & Centra Administrator The William States Lee College of Engineering The University of North Carolina at Charlotte
