For what it is worth, why have multiple client installations?

The machine I am writing this on only has a 9i client. I use it daily to talk to 23 servers with everything from O7.2 to 9i.

I do have a machine with two configs, a 9i client and an O7.1 client, because I have 4 servers running SQL*NET 1 and only talk SQL*NET 1. (Don't ask.) It uses two Oracle homes. Received on Wed Feb 20 2002 - 13:44:12 CST
