Thanks for the enlightenment, Mike. Norman's an irregular regular here, and I sort-of remembered him having posted on the matter.

I'd love to test, but I'm fresh out of Oracle 7 databases!!

And yes, now you mention 9i Release 1 can and 9i Release 2 can't connect to 7.3.4, I seem to sort-of vaguely perhaps remember someone posting here about that a while back.

Good to be brought up-to-date, so thanks.
