Hi Guys,

In OEM reports, under the ELEMENTS tab, you can specify "Table from SELECT statement for database versions". ie. the minimum version of the database for which a script will run. So you can have scripts that used to work in Oracle 7 and still have it run in Oracle 8i. ie. Even though the scripts now uses obsolete views or columns, they will still work against an Oracle 8i database.

So how do we go about doing a similar thing in SQL*Plus? ie. get obsolete Oracle 7 scripts to run against Oracle 8i database in SQL*Plus? I'd like to test out my scripts in SQL*Plus before modifying the OEM reports.

TIA, Leng.
