Is this actually out on HP-UX yet ? Trying to get info on Oracle 8i release dates (especially here in the UK) is next to impossible. I phoned up Oracle Support in the UK and they have no idea, plus the UK Web site (at www.oracle.co.uk) points all its Oracle 8i links to the US Web site, which is no good for UK customers !!

You could run 8.0.5 of course, which is supported on 10.20, but maybe you're already doing that and hence the need for an upgrade.
