One question: does 11g client work with 9i2 RDBMS or not? i.e. may from
sqlplus on a machine that has 11g client installed reach a 9i2 db?

Thanks

Metalink Note: 207303.1 has a matrix of which clients work with which
servers. The 11.2 client with 9.2 server is listed as supported, but
only under Extended Support, which means if it doesn't work and you
haven't been supported continuously since 9.2 was under regular
support and you haven't bought Extended Support, tough noogies. The
note also has some other considerations you may need to think about,
like Oracle Apps and desupported platforms.

Whether it actually works, I couldn't say. Whether you could actually
get a fix under Extended Support, I couldn't say either. I would hope
this configuration would be common enough to fix regardless, but I can
understand Oracle not wanting to put a whole lot of resources into it.
