    Question

    Good Day to you all,

    Could someone please let me know how to connect Oracle7 to Oracle8 Database. How many options do I have and what tools if any would I require. Thank you in advance.

    You can create database link to conenct them. If its just going to be a case of connecting to V7 from V8 client, modify the tnsnames.ora file in the client to look at the V7 or vice versa.

    Which version of Oracle 7?

    I remember that a while back (couple of years), I had problems creating a database link between a 7.0 instance and a 7.3.4 instance. I had to have a 7.1 instance in between. (This was after lengthy consultation with Oracle support).

    I don't know if this will affect a link from 7.0 to 8 though.
