I think the message is clear.
You can't connect to a Oracle 7 database with a 10g client (and vice versa).

The bug is related to 10.1 connecting to 8.1.7, no relation with your case.

Hi Michel,

My server info is

1. Database Vendor: Oracle
2. Database Version: 7.3.4.5

Now my question is

a) For connecting to this Remote server, is it necessary to install Oracle 7.3.4.5 in my local PC. ( i hope client tool is enough)

b) if point "a" is not required then by using which tool i can connect to this server.

c) i am using Toad Version 7.5.2.0 but still not able to connect to this server.

Pls let me know how i can proceed now ??..

a) What is your database version? 10g? So you must have a 9i or up client.

b) You could try with a jdbc thin client.

c) Those who live by the GUI, die by the GUI.

Hi
Michel,

Thanks for the reply . I can't go for the java thin client as my application is in "Power builder" and i am not allowed to connect through it.

Can u tell me any other way or any other oracle tool by which i can test a connection to the oracle server of version 7.3

Your post are not consistent.
Is this the database or the client which is in version 7.

What does "server info" means? Where did you get this information? Is this your application server requirements?
Your first part means your database version is 10.2, what is "local db" for your application/architecture?

The details are as follwos.

Server side data base is of Oracle Version 7.3.4.5 and is given by "client" and it's already exists.

From my application (i.e Power Builder) i have to connect to the Server data base to fetch the data.

Ther is no local db for my application ( i have to connect to the remote server only)

For testing purpose we would like to connect from local oracle tool to the remote server.

My local data base is oracle 10g

I think you meant client version is 10g.
As I said, you must have a 9i or below client.

Hi michel,

Thnks for the reply.

Pls let me know how can i connect to Oracle Server of Version 7.3.4.5

a) i can't use JDBC since if i hav to use, the same has to be supported by server also. this is not allowed in our server.

b) local client 10g is not supporting to connect to lower version.
3) Toad of version 7.5 itself not supporting to connect to lower version.

I cant go for installation of Oracle 7.3 in my system now.

Pls let me know by using any GUI or any other way is it possible for me connect to Oracle 7.

If so which tool i hav to use and pls let me know the link also.

I tried all the ways i.e using JDBC thin client , Toad, Power Builder , no one is supporting the server version.
