Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: 9i listener for 8i DB not recommended???
I've just setup another listener on port 1522 just in case. I've got enough
crap trying to convince an app linked against 7.3.3 (Cognos PowerHouse) that
9i is a good thing.
Full safeties on. We don't want this fish swimmin' back to us.
