So which *supported* pre-9.2 clients are you referring too?

linux box?
Go to the 7.3 server, export the database, import it in any higher
version database (minimum 9ir2) and dump the database.
7.3 has been desupported in the previous century, and there has never
been any 7.3 software for Linux.

In addition companies like DataDirect may offer Thin Client ( wire protocol) drivers that do not even need an Oracle client
on the Linux machine..( Connects directly to the Oracle listener using the java-like connection string server:port:SID ) |

What's the easiest/quickest way to access that database with a client

What I'm actually trying to test is just sqlnet connectivity and
access (this has several purposes, none relevant to this discussion),
but I think if I can get connectivity with my linux box here, it will
be very useful in the future. Near future.
From googling, the easiest and quickest is to install the sqlplus
clients on win4lin, but I'd really prefer a native solution. Is there
one that's easy and quick?
Thanks in advance.

V7.3 will NOT interoperate with V9.2.
You can install a V9.0 client & then "talk" to both V7.3 and
V9.2 or 10g DB. |

Also: please don't repost the question if you don't like the
inevitable answer you could have been aware of prior to posting.
Yes, I know the truth stinks.
