A V9.2 DB can't/won't talk to a V7 DB, and vice versa.
So we were "forced" into using a V8.1.7 DB as the "middle man". It works for low volume transactions.

db?
You can login to whatever the oracle client libs you link with will let you log into. For v8 libs that includes v7. I did hear recently that v9.x no longer lets you connect to v7.
You could always keep a copy of DBD::Oracle 1.14 for use with Oracle 7. Just install it into a different directory.
