Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Run obsolete Oracle 7 scripts against Oracle 8i database?
As long as you aren't using any x$ views or sys.$ tables, they
should work as is, with a minimum of exceptions.
There were some v$ views that changed, v$log_history for instance.
There were also some cases of '#' being added to some column names, but I can't recall which views those were.

Subject: Run obsolete Oracle 7 scripts against Oracle 8i database?
Hi Guys,
In OEM reports, under the ELEMENTS tab, you can specify "Table from SELECT
statement for database versions". ie. the minimum version of the database
for which a script will run. So you can have scripts that used to work in
Oracle 7 and still have it run in Oracle 8i. ie. Even though the scripts
now uses obsolete views or
columns, they will still work against an Oracle 8i database.
So how do we go about doing a similar thing in SQL*Plus? ie. get obsolete Oracle 7 scripts to run against Oracle 8i database in SQL*Plus? I'd like to test out my scripts in SQL*Plus before modifying the OEM reports.
TIA, Leng.
