Hi,

Also from a security perspective it is possible to use a later listener
on an earlier database to solve security issues in the listener if they
have not been fixed in the earlier version. Although an old example,
Oracle suggest using the 8.1.7 listener for fixing security bugs in
7.3.4 in security alerts 14, 15 and 16 - see http://otn.oracle.com/deplo
y/security/alerts.htm - so yes you can definitely use later listeners on
older databases, i wouldn't do it the other way though.

hth

kind regards

Pete
