how about just an 'o'
od24x7
op24x7
you could then use 'u' for udb and 'm' for MySQL, and 's' for SQL Server.

there is no reason to call the database "ora....."
I understand the reasoning behind and the desire for naming

What happens when your shop decides to go with MySQL (as this list has
been talking about)... will he want to rename the database to
mysqlt24x7? will he even be allowed to have a database name that long?
