I have not been able to find any info on the latest
Version ( Oracle 8) for Solaris x86. Maybe this is what your rep was talking
about. But last I recall there was even a trial version of workgroup server 7
for solaris x86 on their web site.
FYI, last year I called a couple of Oracle reps to find out what the problem
was
with getting more of their solaris sparc products available for solaris x86. I
was told
that their x86 efforts were going to NT. I then asked how much effort was
required in
the recompile from solaris sparc to solaris x86. To this I got no answer.
If someone can provide any different info, I would love to find where I can buy
these
products.
