You need only one client version to connect to both 8 and 10, preferably
the newer 10 client. It shuld work in 99.9% of all cases. If that
doesn't work, try 8. If that still does not work, try 9.

I need to connect simultaneously to both Oracle 8 and oracle 10 from the

The Oracle libraries, from my experimentations, are not compatible for
external connections. Oracle 8 uses system ID and Oracle 10 uses wallet
and they do not overlap.
I need to stress that this is NOT an option. I have no say in this
regardless of how insecure it may sound.
Anyway, since Oracle DBD can only be built against 1 at a time , this
presents a problem. I have been trying to use DBI Proxy in a PAR
standalone for Oracle 8 connections and the usual setup for Oracle 10
connections with some limited success.
What would be ideal would be to have 2 different Oracle DBD connections
from within the same perl build. Any suggestions or ideas for potential
solutions out there ?
Thanks.
