Hi:

We are writing an Oracle client application in C. We are using PRO C to generate the C code. We can compile both dynamic and static versions of our Oracle client.

Our question is:
is it possible to compile a dynamically linked Oracle client in say version 8.1.7.0 and actually run the application against say version 10.1.0.2 environment ?

That is, can an Oracle client dynamically link to the Oracle shared libraries if the versions are different ?

Thanks
