Re: 9i listener for 8i DB not recommended???

I'm with you, Rich. I don't know where I got it, but I've believed it to be appropriate if not recommended to run the listener from the latest release you have installed for that release and each one prior that you may have on that system (unless you need a special listener for some reason.). We currently do that. The only problem I've encountered is running a 9i listener from a 64 bit install and using that for an 8i, 32 bit instance. The listener crashed a lot.
