Re: Is anyone out there running Oracle 7.3 on OpenVMS?

Mark,

I don't have a solution to your problem, but I thought I would try to make your life harder ;-). You should be aware that Oracle (and hardware vendors) strongly advise the recompilation of PRO*C programs upon the upgrade of either the operating system or the RDBMS.

I guess you may already be aware of this, but I thought I'd try to make your day anyway.
