Re: How to Install Oracle 12 Client in Existing Oracle Home

Our ERP system is done in COBOL. It was a package purchased many years ago but we own the source code and have completely redone it over the years. It is a totally custom ERP system. The COBOL developers range from 20-39 years old, granted they were all hired from within and trained into that position. However we have begun to work on moving this ERP system into APEX.
