Re: Accessing Oracle8 with SQLNet 7 client

Oracle 8 uses Net8 and not SQL*Net 2, but yes it's possible. We're a NT shop, so I wouldn't know about a solaris box, but I tried installing both a SQLNet listener and a NET8 listener on the same box and the same instance, and I didn't have any problems.

Someone at Oracle told me that if I'm using Oracle8, the listener should be
the one from NET8, but I tried the one from SQL*Net anyway. Your client doesn't make any difference (7 or 8).
