Ok, I am currently using Oracle 8i and might want to migrate to a different Oracle 9i Server. I am querying a remote server and have a huge bloated Oracle 8i installation on the client machine only because I can't even issue sql queries without it.

So, does your last sentence mean that I can at least use a 9i server from an 8i client? It was such a pain just to get the current setup working that I really wouldn't want to do it again.

Ciao,
