My customer have Oracle 8i, but I'm wondering if it's possible to use Oracle 9i for this. It' s possible to use SQL Server 2000 and build SQL Server 7 compatible. Since I can get Oracle 9i for the same price as 8i, I would prefer to buy 9i. Does anyone have any views on this ? Thanks in advance Best wishes Kai Bohli kaiboe@online.no Norway
