I think there is a general lack of understanding of what "supported" means. Got Oracle versions 7, 8i and 9i running here. Which *are all* supported by Oracle.
Oracle will, and here's the rub, *have always* supported their product, whatever version it is.
I have always received help from Oracle for, all versions, and I know I always will.
What Oracle will not do, is provide further software patches for "unsupported" versions.

Caveat, Make sure your most experienced and knowledgable DBA speaks to Oracle,
they are not a substitute for training or consultancy. I have always had great support from the UK. George Barbour.
