Hello there!
It seems I'm having a little bit of trouble trying to get both Oracle 7 client & Oracle 8 client running at the same time on a single pc.What I'm trying to do is use the Oracle 7 client only to connect an Oracle 7 Database and also only use the Oracle 8i client to connect to an Oracle 8i database.

Unfortunately what happens is that it appears to be forcing to use the Oracle 7 client when connecting to the Oracle 8i database ?

I have setup the references in both tnsnames.ora files for both Oracle 7 & 8 but still no joy.

It appears to be only working when I have a reg file to switch between the versions, but I was wondering if anyone has had this working before ?? Or if it's possible ??

Or am I just hoping for tooo much ;)

Thanks!! :) Received on Fri Sep 15 2000 - 08:46:54 CDT
