The lack of replies simply indicates that few (if any) folks who read this newsgroup use Oracle7 on SCO, not that the product is bad or that the combination is not popular.
Most end-user organisations of Oracle7 on SCO are not even on the Internet, let alone being readers of this group. Many of these organisations won't even be aware that the stock control or order processing system that they bought uses Oracle7 or SCO. SCO is frequently "designed in" to a vertical solution to the point where the end user doesn't see it.
For the record, Oracle7 on SCO OpenServer and SCO UnixWare has broken the TPC-C benchmark results on Intel platforms time and time again (check out http://www.tpc.org). Oracle Parallel Server will soon be available for clustered SCO UnixWare systems. IDC data indicates that SCO OpenServer is the most popular UNIX platform for databases, ahead of Sun.
