Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: 10g on Linux
Well, hell it wasn't me. :)
I gotta wonder what the reasoning is here. Most of the customers I deal wi= th have one reason for moving to 9i instead of 10g - ISV support. If you'r= e using an application which is either custom built or written by an ISV wi= th 10g support, why would you bother upgrading to 9i and then upgrading aga= in to 10g? That seems pretty damn stupid to me, particularly now the 10.1.= 0.3 patch is out (to satisfy those "I won't upgrade till the first patch re=lease" bigots ;).

Subject: Re: 10g on Linux
I talked with a technical person in Oracle and got the following response: I would not recommend moving production to 10g now. However, if you start a project that will be moved to production in about 9=
months, start it on 10g.
