Connections between 10.1 and 8.1.7.4 are certainly supported. With the 10.1.0.3 patchset, you can connect to 8.1.7.x databases.

Cant we survive without the name ?? Let us go with this only. We all are trying to be reunited. I sent mail to some others also, but I think many ids are absolute now. We will be a great strength and of course very good backup for one another as well as others. Lets go with AskDBA man... I love to ask real DBA in trouble....
