Our company is using Oracle 4.5 Forms. Since 'RR' does not work with PL/SQL 1.x, Oracle has given us two options. One is to use an Oracle programming work-around on each Forms program that has a Y2K problem. The other is to use a patch to use PL/SQL 2.x on the client side so that 'RR' can be utilized. Which of these solutions do you recommend? Is there any problem with utilizing 2.x? Does it mis-handle any code written for 1.x or does it cause processing slowdowns especially in peak periods? If this patch works perfectly, why didn't Oracle use PL/SQL 2.x with Oracle Forms 4.5 in the first place?

Does anyone have experience with installing PL/SQL 2.x on the client?
