Tom, Can you clarify what you meant by 'just the database itself'? Fyi, there are multiple layers in Apps 11i, in which the DB is just one. If this is *entirely* only the DB (not including any part of the Concurrent Manager/other apps layers), then the comparison is as if you are hosting 'just a database' and want to compare IBM/Sun/HP. The only consideration can be 'interoperability' issues - which can leave you exposed to finger-pointing between the Apps/CM layer OS vendors and DB level (IBM) vendor in case of issues. Oracle leans towards Solaris, followed by HP-UX.
I do not currently know of any (fully) AIX based Apps 11i installations. AFAIK, the list is (1) Solaris (2) HP-UX and (3) AIX [ a distant three ]. If you are looking for a reason, availability of patches (esp. NLS patches if you are planning to support multiple languages) and OS level certifications could be a factor when considering the various flavors.
