Make sure that's 8.1.7 as the 8.1.7.4 patch level... an earlier patch release will give you an ORA-03134 error message.

Metalink note 207303.1 - Oracle 10G client is "officially supported" for connecting to 8.1.7 but nothing earlier. -----Original Message----- babette.turnerunderwood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I am using a beta copy of Oracle 10g. I am able to create database and use SQL*Plus to connect to the 10g instance. I can use SQL*Plus 10g to connect to Oracle 9i instances. However I am having problems getting the 10g instance to connect to 8i instance. Does anyone know if Oracle 10g can connect to Oracle 8i instances ? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
