The Oracle 7 database and the Oracle 9i database uses different network
stacks. Connecting to an Oracle 7 database from Oracle 9i software (db
link, etc) has been full of difficulties. Can you upgrade the Oracle 7
database to a much newer, and supported version? Otherwise, I know
others who have gotten the whole thing to work by using an Oracle 8
database in the middle. Ugly, but it has worked.
HTH,
