I would agree with that. A lot of oracle on AIX where I am and in the
surrounding companies in my area. Maybe a little higher in percentage from what
Tim mentioned ... but not by much.

Patrice,
Just based on my own personal observations visiting several different IT shops
every year, I'd guess that AIX represents at least 15-20% of Oracle RDBMS
market share. My last two customers (i.e. my two main customers for this
current year) are AIX on Power64, for example. Can't quote that percentage
with any authority, but suffice to say that AIX is a big port for Oracle, and
always has been.
And the reverse is true: IBM has long recognized that the Oracle RDBMS pushes
a lot of their iron, and has been a good partner to Oracle, even though they
also compete with DB2/UDB. Let's just say that the DB2 folks often resent the
IBM hardware sales folks, because the hardware folks are often bigger fans of
Oracle than DB2, because Oracle sells more servers.
What's even more strange is that DB2 runs on Solaris, so IBM and Oracle have a
curious intertwined relationship that kind of makes one blush, if you think
about it biologically... :-)
Hope this helps...
-Tim

I am wondering how often Oracle is run on that platform.
Wouldn't Oracle mostly be written first for linux / solaris / win32, then
ported to the other platforms?
