David Technically it shouldn't be a problem. You'll use different ORACLE_HOMEs of course. Have you considered the licensing issues? I agree with Stephen that you should stick to the vendor's recommendation, but press them to move their certification forward, for Pete's sake! Are they going to certify 8.1.7 before Oracle drops it?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 3:49 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Enterprise 8.1.7 on AIX There is a desire to consolidate some Unix servers. A couple of the servers are using Oracle 8.0.6 Standard (formerly Workgroup server) and the intended target servers already have 8.1.7 Enterprise. The source/target servers are using AIX 4.3. My understanding is that the application on 8.0.6 is not certified/supported on 8.1.7 by its vendor, yet. Does anyone know if there are any problems/issues with doing this? Any advice on the procedures would be appreciated (in a non-monetary way - just like most corporate rewards programs).
