Scott,

     We have installed our current version of ORACLE on AIX 3.2. There is a glitch however. YOU should NOT use installp or smit to install it. Bad things happen because ORACLE needs to change it's distribution tape, ORACLE changes ownership of the /usr and /usr/bin directories. If you have a separate filesystem for it (we have an oracle filesystem) just tar down the tape to that directory and then log in as oracle and things work just fine!

     I syspect that ORACLE will have an appropriate distribution tape when 3.2 is ready for general release.
