Re: How long to hold onto old Oracle CDs?

Under no circumstances would you consider moving your production db back from 8.1.7 to 7.3.3, would you? So the only possible reason for retaining them would be to support a newly-acquired application (!?!?!?!). Even if you still had the CDs, shouldn't you just say you didn't? :-)

They make great tacky drink coasters. If you're into skeet shooting or plinking, then there's another good use...

Speaking of plinking, former Minnesota Governor (and boa-wearing pro wrestler) Jesse Ventura had a quote that was relevant: "Gun control? Sure I believe in gun control. Putting three shots through the same hole -- that's gun control!" If you can put a BB through the drive hole of the CD without touching from 10 meters out, that's gun control!
