Hi,

I need to connect to remote databases using Dblink. Our existing version is 7.2.1 on Windows and please point me the
locationof this package where I can download from and the installation procedure. I don't find any such package
existingcurrently in our installation. 


Thanks,

You're almost certainly out of luck, and more importantly, you're
asking... no, BEGGING to lose data. There are scores of bugs that
have been fixed since that version. You need to upgrade to something
newer, and if you're going to be running on windows you'll be much
happier with 8.1.4.
