Hi Chris,

You can connect to Oracle 7.3 database from ZOracleDA on Linux
compiled against Oracle8/8i client. I've a production environment
where Zope 2.1.3 runs on a Redhat 6 machine with Oracle 8.0.5
clients. It connects to an Oracle 7.3 database on HP-UX.

All you need to make sure is that your SQL*Net connection in
the Zope machine is set properly. Your Solaris machine
should be added to
$ORACLE_HOME/net/admin/tnsnames.ora properly.
