RE: [Q] ORACLE 9.2 and different version of client?

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,

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. See Note 207319.1
on MetaLink.
