Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Actual list of supported/desupported versions of Oracle
Hello Bob
We are working with 8163 on NT and windows 2000 and the status is that they will help you find patches but will not backport or develop new patches for this release.

Yes, for sure they certainly do not make it easy. much akin to using the space shuttle to cross the street) I did manage to find the info though with your guys suggestions. Interestingly enough I entered desupported, desupported versions, version support all with no results... <sigh>
What perplexes me now is the fact that Oracle Support told me on the phone that they don't support any version less than 8.1.7 on WIN2K server... I have 7.3.4, 8.0.5, 8.1.6.3 and now 8.1.7 from NT40 to WIN2K
>From the documents on the web(below) it appears all platforms are
treated equal, so?? I suppose I have to propose that question to the
support tech again when I get them on the phone, now that I have the
actual documents from their website. Below is a clipping from pertaining
to the versions Im interested in.
Thanks to all for pointing me in the right direction.. bob
