The "without issue" remark leaves open to interpretation how many times ( if any ) he has used or needed to get any support from Oracle related to this configuration.
I have pretty much given up using Oracle support except as a self service depot. That's pretty close to the experience many of my local DBA peers are reporting.
Sure you need a support contract to get patches etc. Does that mean that you need a certified config? Probably not. Received on Mon Jan 04 2010 - 18:39:42 CST
