RE: oracle 9i release 2 on RHEL 3.0

["Geoff Rainey (DSLAK)" <GeoffR datacom co nz>]

Yes, I have done this. But a version 7 database connection is no longer
supported by oracle
9i release 2 - DAMN IT. What I am thinking of doing is is downgrading my
sql*net version to 9i release 1
and see if I can then get version 7 connectivity (as release 1 can connect
to version 7)

Thanks,
Regards,
Geoff.
