Re: using oracle 817 driver against oracle 92 database

As long as you're not using any 9.2 feature, you should be fine. IIRC, according to Oracle's upgrade policy, the client and the server are compatible within one major version.

Even if upgrading to the 92 client is not an emergency, you should at least upgrade the 817 client to the latest patch level 8174 (or the latest minor patch level if it's a Windows client, i.e. 8.1.7.4.10 or something like that; check metalink for the latest.).

Regards,
Dave
