April,
 
Really?  We are running Websphere version 5.0 against our 9.2.0.4 database.
Either I am taking a big risk (not) or your source of information is wrong!

I know that IBM says that Webshphere isn't supported against Oracle... we
tried.

We just upgraded to WebSphere5.  During user 
acceptance testing I discovered that the WAS schema 
has exactly TWO tables.  Investigating further, I 
found out that these two tables are dynamic.  When 
someone logs in these tables are populated and when 
the user logs out the data is deleted.  

Out of the box, WAS will install a default DB2 
database on the same server as the application server. 
 Even though I am an Oracle bigot, it seems silly to 
pay for cpu licensing for two small tables.  I am 
leaning toward asking our middle-ware administrators 
to use the default install and save the cpu licensing 
expense for Oracle. 

Does anyone have any experience with this 
configuration?  Especially, hidden gotchas, like DB2 
cpu licensing?
