Re: SQL*Net vs Net8 coexistence and priority ???

Kevin,

The answer to this depends on the tool you are using to connect to the server. If you are using SQL*plus 3.x or lower, it will use V2 of SQL*net. If you are using SQL*plus 8, it will use Net8. For Developer and Designer, versions 2.x or lower will use v2 and version 6 of the two products will use Net8. ODBC depends on the whether you are using the microsoft driver of the Oracle drivers. The Microsoft drivers with ship with VB6 only used my V2 while the drivers which came with my O8PE used the Net8.

Hope this helps.
