Recently migrated from 8.1.7 to 9i and my Oracle Reports are no longer
working -- I am getting an ORA-01006 Bind Variable does not exist. Has
anybody had any success running reports developed in 2.5 to run against
9.2.0.6.0? They are working on 9.2.0.1.0 but I am rushed for time -
don't really have the resources to upgrade this and all the instances
on it so quickly.

Please answer the question when Reports 2.5 was desupported and why
you are trying to use them against a 3-4 year younger version of
Oracle RDBMS at all.

I've been trying to learn the dbms for the past few months and i'm
always looking for good advice/tips. Sadly, i'm sorry i discovered
this google group. I can't help but notice that DA Morgan has to
insert a snide comment in each and every post on these boards. Why?
does that make you feel better about yourself? we get it, Dan is the
Oracle man. are you happy now? can you get over yourself now and just
help someone out without belittling them?

Mean people suck and you're a loser if you respond to this because you
know i'm right.

The real loser is you, because you seem fit, because of the 1 percent
Oracle knowledge you have, to chastize someone who has been answering
all of your RTFM questions for more than 10 years.
If you really get angry about Daniel's responses, why don't you find
some jollier Kindergarten elsewhere? You don't HAVE to read his posts,
do you?

It can seem like Sybrand and DA Morgan can be a little short but the
answers they give are good and just because they don't pretty them up
doesnt mean they arn't valuable. One way or another Sybrand has been
able to point me in the right direction on and off for years be it in
my thread or anothers ..... you just have to live with it dude,
especially if you are doing the asking and not able to contribute much.

Working with Reports 2.5 on Oracle 9i is not 'ideal' --- I expect to
get a little heat for it.

Tis all good.

You shouldn't. You should make point out to your management Oracle no
longer supports Reports 2.5 and they can't expect you to provide more
support than Oracle provides to you. So if something goes wrong: it is
upon their ass and not on yours.
