Re: System Spec For Oracle V7.3 On OpenVMS Alpha?

Oracle 7.3.4 _is_ supported, all older versions have been desupported. So your statement : Oracle 7.x is supported is incorrect.

Oracle has always announced it would desupport 7.3.4 on December 31, 2000. I did see notices in Usenet a few months ago they would stop examining 7.3 OCP in August _as 7.3 support would end on June 1_. The policy of Oracle has always been to support a release two years after the introduction of a new major release. Oracle 8 was introduced mid '98.

The desupport notice for Alpha I recently found on technet.
