What does the warning message, "Oracle Version Warning: Oracle Client version is significantly ol -
Description
I get the following warning message when connecting to a 10g database using Oracle Client 11g Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) or Oracle Data Provider for .NET (ODP.NET) 11g. I know I can just un-check the boxes to stop this message, but is there a way to make the message more informative than just showing "??" (question marks)?

Toad 9.7 Release Notes
11g Oracle ODP.NET client
If a customer uses an 11g Oracle ODP.NET client, located here, http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html, or any client in which the oci.dll is not in the client's BIN directory, but the directory above, Toad has these problems: 1) we show the client as invalid 2) we cannot detect the client version 3) as a result of 2), columns of the following datatypes are not shown in SB-Tables-Data: CLOB, BLOB, NCLOB, XMLTYPE, TIMESTAMP, INTERVAL, BINARY_DOUBLE, and BINARY_FLOAT. The user can work around it by copying oci.dll and oraociei11.dll from <oracle client directory> to <oracle client directory>\bin\. I don't have a super-great feeling about making the change for 9.7, and Brad might not let me anyway, but I will fix it after that.
