Hi List, I have learnt that Oracle is going to de-support version 9i by end of July. Is that true? Are there any official announcements? I don't see anything in the metalink. If the above is believed to be true, then, its really very short time that Oracle has given. I feel that in a way, they are forcing everyone to upgrade to 10g. Any limelight on this? -- Best Regards, Syed Jaffar Hussain Oracle ACE 8i,9i & 10g OCP DBA http://jaffardba.blogspot.com/ http://www.oracle.com/technology/community/oracle_ace/ace1.html#hussain ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Winners don't do different things.
