  90
  91 <p>We have an application, ucmwb, which uses Oracle to talk directly
  92 to our Clearquest databases. This application runs on Solaris and
  93 hopefully soon Linux. In particular it talks to RANCQ on
  94 RANDBS. AFAICT RANDBS is an Oracle 9.2 server.</p>
  95
  96 <p>I would love to go to Oracle 10.x because with 10.x comes regexs
  97 and they would help ucmwb tremendously. However I can't get a 10.x
  98 client to talk to this 9.x server.</p>
  99
 100 <p>Working on the Solaris side for now, I can use the 9.2 version of
 101 sqlplus to connect to our RANCQ database:</p>
