You'll have to burn a lot of cat-hair on the altar for that one. Oracle support still tells me that they don't support "multi-application" systems. Let alone what happens if you ask them how to tune the thing with Sybase on it... For the amount of hassle you'll be dealing with it might be cheaper to simply lease a second machine for one year.
