in reply to DBD:Oracle compatible with Oracle 12

The problem is that we have to upgrade to Win 2012 and Oracle 11g is not compatible - only 12.2 is.

I doubt that. Generally, Oracle clients and servers are compatible with a major version difference of at least 1, i.e. Client 11 and Server 12 or vice versa. A major version difference of 2 should still work. At least, it was so for decades. I remember using C8 with S10 and C9 with S11, also C11 with S10.

    I mean compatible with Win 2012. Oracle 12.1 and below are not. One of the major updates in Oracle 12R2 is Win 2012 compatibilty.
