Bufff! I just supposed that, anyway thanks a lot for your explanation. But I got panic when read the message I replied to, because we have an application runnig against a 7.1.6 db and this must follow like this for years. The problem is that we didn't design that application (we bought it) in forms 3.0 and users of it have a very strange profile wich make impossible "convert" them to two_task.
Thus, I don't mind the Oracle support of older versions; this database was tuned years ago and works fine, and we've got the backup/recovery procedures perfectly improved.
Best regards.
