Delphi 6 app and Oracle 11 using BDE?

[rogerte]

We have a Delphi 6 app that links to an Oracle 8 database using the BDE. Very simple just 4 forms, linking to 3 tables in the Oracle database.

The company is updating to Oracle 11. They don't want to upgrade the Delphi version as it is the only Delphi app still in use.

Is it possible to connect to oracle 11 using the BDE? What changes will be required?

I have suggested changing to dbExpress, but with the financial constraints at the moment there aren't really the funds for this.

Many thanks

Roger

This thread (strand?) indicates that you should be okay but the person asking the question didn't get any response:

Thanks DjangMan,

Hope to give it a try in the next week or so.
