I understand what you are saying - however, I also know that Oracle has issued some patches which are specifically aimed at correcting Y2K problems with the rdbms. Obviously these patches are changing something other than the way that the data is stored in tables. That being the case it is still a legitimate question to ask whether there are known Y2K problems with 7.3.3 which have not been and will not be corrected by patches because 7.3.3 has gone non-support.
