Install ODP.NET on Windows Server 2008 to support Oracle 8.1.6 and 10g
796399Sep 9 2010 — edited Sep 13 2010I am currently using Oracle Client 9.2.0.7.0 in Production environment with System.Data.OracleClient by Microsoft to connect Oracle 8.1.6.1.0 in Windows Server 2003 R2. So far, it works without any issues.
I have new requirement to integrate Oracle 10g as well. So, I tried to use ODP.NET 11g. However, I get this exception when I try to connect Oracle 8i:
"ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported."
So, is there any way I can use ODP.NET to connect to both the servers [Oracle 8i and Oracle 10g]?
I have DEV environment that is Windows Server 2008 in which I tried to install ODP.NET 9.2 that failed because it cannot be installed on win2008.
Any help would be appreciated.
