i know about DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT in 9i. but, is there anyway to get the
10g|11g DBMS_CRYPTO stuff for 9i? for example, if i get a hold of
{ORACLE_HOME}/rdbms/admin/dbmsobtk.sql from a 10g/11g installation, would it
work if i plonk it into my 9i installation? if so, what else would i need to
do configuration-wise?
if not, why not?
thanks in advance for your replies.
I honestly don't know, but I doubt. Those packages a lot of times are
just API's for routines compiled in the actual database kernel. If
you got it to work, it definitely wouldn't be supported.
Unless it was backported into 9.20.8: No.

My suggestion would be to implement your requirements in java and
write a java stored procedure to provide plSQL access.

My suggestion would be to upgrade to a supported version. 9i is no
longer premier support.

Why not just upgrade to a supported version of Oracle that has the
functionality you require. Or am I missing something here?

Yes you are ... read the thread Ana C. Dent pointed at... ;-)

You were right. I _was_ missing something. My Monday morning laugh!
Many thanks ;-)
