Smalltalk, Upgrade from Oracle-7 to Oracle-8

Upgrade from Oracle-7 to Oracle-8

Author	Message
Jpalumb #1 / 2	Upgrade from Oracle-7 to Oracle-8 I have two databases: One is on an Oracle 7.3.4 server, and the other is on an Oracle 8.1.7 server. I can connect to each of these using SQL-Plus. I have a Smalltalk application developed with VW 2.5.2/Envy, which can connect to the Oracle-7 database. I made the library substitutions in the OracleNTInterface and Oracle95Interface classes (changing 'ora73.dll' to 'oraclient8.dll'). I've saved the image, but the new image will still connect to Oracle-7 and NOT Oracle-8. Is there something else I need to do? Thanks in advance. -Joe P.

Carsten H?rl #2 / 2	Upgrade from Oracle-7 to Oracle-8 Try chaning the DLL in OracleNTInterface to either OCIW32.DLL (correct one). If this doesn't work sometimes OCI.DLL works, although this is not backwardcompatible to older ORACLE versions. There is also a bug in the Oracle Universal Installer which installs the Client in many 8.x versions which should be fixed in 8.1.7. This bug installs inorrect registration parameters in th Windows registry. There is a support articel avaiable from Oracle (http://metalink.oracle.com) which explains how to fix these values manually.
