Thanks for educating me on this.

I'd spent a while staring at the Oracle documentation trying to figure out how to make it work.

One followup question, if I might. Given an application written to talk to version 7, what is the latest version that it is likely to be able to talk to? 9? What I'm looking at here, is I have a old application that we do not have the source to. It logs data to Oracle, and retrieves that data. I'd potentially like to upgrade the Oracle server hardware/software that supports this application, but making any changes to it is virtually impossible. I _do_ have all the scripts to create the appropriate tables/indexes/triggers at all for this application.

What's the latest version of Oracle that would be likely to work for this?
