Greetings Netters,
I've been tasked to find out just what the 'V6 Compatability' option in
Oracle 7 requires one to do, or NOT do. Here's the situation:
In the next couple weeks we are transferring and converting all of our
applications from a DEC VAX 8650 running Oracle V6.0.36 to a DEC ALPHA running
Oracle 7.0.13 (I think).
Management has decided for now to startup the Oracle7 instance on the ALPHA
with V6 compatibility. What pitfalls lie ahead? Has anyone implemented this
practice? Also:
Is it necessary to convert all chars to varchar2 in the new create_table
scripts?
Does the provided forms conversion software cover all grounds necessary?
Are roles NOT supported if V6 Compatability is invoked? Constraints?
BTW, for some reason unbeknownst to me, they DIDN'T purchase Procedural
Option.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. We've got two weeks to get
this accomplished. I'd like to know just what we're getting into here.
Thanx in advance. Please feel free to E-mail any advice you can spare. No flames, though. thx.
