It also depends on the character set being used on the database server. With 9i, there are a few new character sets.
Older client will probably not be able to deal with these new character sets. I think there is a patch for the 8i client to handle new character sets, however. HTH, Gerardo -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 7:59 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L In theory all three clients will work with 9iRelease2. However, we have encountered a problem where the client is 8.0.6, connects to a 9.2 database which has a database link to an 8.1.7 database -- queries across the db-link result in an ORA-3120 error. The analyst closed the TAR has 8.0.6 is desupported -- we tried even with tha 8.0.6.3 Patchset on the client. A 9.2 client connecting to 7.3.4 is certainly NOT supported.
