No, you cannot:

SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK ora7link CONNECT TO scott IDENTIFIED BY tiger
  2          USING 'orcl.world';

Database link created.

SQL>
SQL> SELECT * FROM dual@ora7link;
SELECT * FROM dual@ora7link
                   *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-24439: Connections to Oracle7 server are no longer supported
ORA-02063: preceding line from ORA7LINK

Best regards.

We also have a similar requirement in which we have to connect to an Oracle 7 database from Oracle 9i database.

Please let me know if you have found out any workarounds or any possible way to do this connection.

Its needed very urgenty.

Any help would be highly appretiated.

Thanks

worked on it for weeks - appeals to Oracle OTN etc etc fell on deaf ears. Have ended up re-engineering the interface such that all scripts etc run from the Oracle 7 instance - which is allowed.

So data is nowpulled and pushed to the and from the 9i under the control of the 7.

A real pain!

Try using an 8i 'stepping stone' database - link the 7 to 8, and then the 9 to 8. Build snapshots/views etc as necessary.

Note - just because on dbV9 you will be able to select * from tab@dbV8 which in turn is a synonym for select * from tab@dbV7 doesnt mean that you can create views/snapshots as easy !

Its a pain, but it is doable
