Hemant, thanks for your reply.
TWO_TASK is undefined, here's the query output you mentioned. There is only one Oracle installation on the server as it was a fresh OS and Oracle install.
I'll try to find the cds and take another look. Perhaps the 9i app server comes with the 8i database, which would explain my confusion.
