Re: Upgrade from version 6 to version 7.1.? any advice ?

Hi Stan,

the only thing i really hated was the new varchar2 data-type. Use compatibility setting to Oracle V7 in your SQL-Plus.

Be aware of Pro*C 1.x and the new Pro*C 2.0 (also varchar problems). Use 1.x for compatibility reasons.

Hope this helps,

Toni
