It shouldn't be a problem to connect from 8i to 10g as long as you don't try to
use any 10g SQL*Plus features (e.g. purge recyclebin). Shouldn't be a problem
to install multiple clients on the same Windows machine either - just be aware
of which one you're running your executables from to make sure you're
accessing the correct tns config files, or set your TNS_ADMIN variable to
override the defaults and point to a centralized location. If you have
trouble, just search metalink for "oracle.key" and/or "tns_admin windows" and
you should find some notes to get you on the right track. This probably goes
without saying, but just in case you're not aware, you'll want to make sure you
install the new client in separate directory from the existing client. Also,
why install the 9i client instead of the 10g client?
