Note: No version-specific problems have been encountered with Oracle Server software or Oracle Client Network software. However, Oracle ODBC driver problems are quite common between releases. It is recommended that you use the versions of the Oracle ODBC driver and Oracle Provider for OleDB listed below to avoid problems. These are the versions that have been tested with WBT Manager.

Please read these notes carefully and pay attention to the red "cautionary" notes.

See the section below for the version of Oracle you are using.
