We have some Unix machines running Oracle apps. We are considering exploring utilizing Oracle on the mainframe and moving some Oracle apps off the Unix machines to the mainframe with the intent of saving on the Oracle licenses, among other things. > >Has anyone gone this route?

I.e. the newer Oracle releases will not be ported to run under z/OS at all. As of right now, release 10 remains supported on z/OS. As another said, I've read of a number of z/Linux users using Oracle quite happily. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
