Hello,

I have heard rumors that version 9.2 of the Oracle rdbms will not support client-server mode. Does anyone have more information regarding this? What exactly does this mean?

We are a datawarehouse using a combination of 3rd-party tools, mainly Cognos, SAS, Toad, and we also have MS Access and Sql Server conencting to Oracle. Does "not supporting client-server" mean that any tool using ODBC to connect to Oracle will not work with 9iR2?

I would guess that 3rd-party vendors using ODBC would need to find a different way to connect to Oracle, but those using some other connection method (OCI, for ex) would continue to work, but that's just a WAG, and I'm hoping someone can enlighten me.

Thanks to any responders.
