Re: ORA-00911: invalid character

My compatability is set to 9.2.0.0.0.
My v$version is
BANNER



Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production

Must I set compatability to 9.2.0.1.0 from 9.2.0.0.0?

The description of 'compatability was "Allows use of new release, while at the same time guaranteeing backward compatibility with earlier release." I thought this meant that all current release features could be used and that backward compatibility was set by what compatability was set to. I this incorrect?
