Oracle 7 Connectivity

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a legacy system that uses Oracle 7 and can't be upgrade for various reasons. We now have to write an interface on PI 7.1 to communicate with Oracle 7.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi,

JDBC Drivers will not support for oracle 7.

Please refer the below note for known problems and incompatibilities..

No it is not possible.

Reason: Oracle 7 uses old version jdbc drivers to connect. This drivers support only jdk 1.4 and below jvm. Whereas Pi 7.1 support jdbc drivers that runs on Jdk 1.5 and above. So since jdbc drivers incompatible with jvm version this communcation is not possible.
