Re: Oracle 7 and DG Unix 4

Hi.

We're in the same position. According to Oracle's MetaLink web pages, DU4.0 supports Oracle 7.1.6.2.0 *with a patch file*. According to Digital, binaries from 3.2 should run on 4.0 without recompilation as long as they don't access any kernal structures - ie. user code should be fine.

See http://support.oracle.com/MetaLink/

Of course, if somebody knows different, now's the time to speak up!
