That sounds like a good idea. I didn't know the client was backward
compatible. My teammate figured out a way that we could use JDBC to get at
the data, so the need is not so urgent anymore, but I'll try it out when I
get the time. (Oracle doesn't like Debian, so I will have to install RH 7
or something.)
