As long as you're not using any 9.2 feature, you should be fine. IIRC, according to Oracle's upgrade policy, the client and the server are compatible within one major version.

Even if upgrading to the 92 client is not an emergency, you should at least upgrade the 817 client to the latest patch level 8174 (or the latest minor patch level if it's a Windows client, i.e. 8.1.7.4.10 or something like that; check metalink for the latest.).

Regards,
Dave

Hi all:

I just learned that our application team is using
oracle 817 driver to connect to a oracle 92
application (via das and via websphere). Is anyone
aware of any big problems with that setup? I am going
to recommend to upgrade to oracle9, but I don't think
this is an emergency.  Am I wrong?

thanks
Gene
