You only need SP specific Oracle if you're going to use Parallel Server, other than that standard AIX oracle is fine, incidently if you're using HACMP then you have to use the AIX version as the SP version assumes VSD's ..etc.

In Oracle V8 we have convergence and it's one Oracle version for both AIX and SP2 Received on Sat Nov 08 1997 - 00:00:00 CET
