Chris,
For application servers I'm using as much as possible the same client version
as the database.
For client-server applications I normally only upgrade when the compatibility
matrix requires so.
Kind regards,

Subject: Who pushes for client upgrades on workstations - DBAs or Development
Group?
I'm just curious how everyone feels about the need to upgrade Oracle clients
and reasons for doing so in a typical environment.
Do you, as the DBA, push for Oracle client upgrades, or do you let the
Development group (and/or application upgrades) necessitate the upgrade?
Personally, I've always been of the opinion to let application upgrades (for
commercial software) and/or the Development Group to push as the PC/LAN group
(those responsible for workstations) usually handle client installs etc. I
have no problem supporting legacy clients (such as 8i) nor newer 11g clients.
What are your thoughts?
Chris
