I am working on a a proof of concept for a monitoring system to work with several databases within my companys estate - however a lot of these DBs are legacy systems running on old versions of Oracle - the oldest version we are running is 9.2.08 - does anyone have any knowledge if DBConnect will have an adapter for this or would we need to consider upgrading our DBs?
