Re: AIX 5.2 Or AIX 5.1 for Oracle 9.2 database server?

Hi, Stephen,

    I did not get feedback from the list:(. Maybe my question is always too lengthy.

    It is not my company that is using AIX 5.2, but one of my friend. In fact, I do not suggest you use AIX 5.2 in your production , after all, it is too new!

    One if my friend tell me, it is easy to install 9.2 on aix 5.2:).
