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?
DB Connect uses JDBC to interact with databases. As long as you have the appropriate JDBC driver, there should be no problem:
