Or perhaps it is geography. A survey in our part of the planet reveals the oldest Oracle databases to be version 5, a handful of 7s, a little bit of 8.0, a substantial amount of 8i. But most are now in 9i or 10g or in the process of moving to them this quarter.

It may be the fact that I am in one the planet's high-tech corridors within two to three miles of Microsoft, T-Mobile, Amazon.com, RealNetworks, Boeing, Expedia, Western Wireless, ADIC, AppWorx, F5, etc. But there are plenty of people here that have been in 10g for many months. And there are plenty running Apps certified for 8i using 9i with the Compatible parameter set to 8.1.7.
