Sounds like you're trying to RELINK with Oracle8 libraries. That won't work; you can run it client/server (or equivalently, separate Oracle Homes on one Box) if you are on Solaris.

(On NT, this doesn't apply as there is no relinking; just install it all into one Oracle Home and you should be fine).

In general, Net v2 clients can connect to Net v8 listeners without a problem. Received on Thu Nov 06 1997 - 00:00:00 CST
