Folks, let's keep some reality here. In 1985 version 5 of Oracle had not yet been released! It could not have been 6.2!!!

Version 5.0 came out in VMS in 1986, the year I joined Oracle. Version 6.1 was available only after 1988 and this was the first version where OPS was widely available and documented. 6.2 came out only for a short period in 1989 and was soon replaced by 7.0.
