RE: Choose database vesrion

Pete,

That was my thought.

Yechiel, you need to look at the PeopleSoft certification matrix (if there is such a thing) and see what version of Oracle *they* certify against. I'll bet you a dollar that it is not certified against 10.2 (I'm feeling risky today!). And then you need to make a decision - do you want to go against PeopleSoft's recommendation?

Good Luck!

Tom

Well, I guess the biggest problem he faces with that suggestion would be the mention of the PeopleSoft software. Even though that's "inhouse" so to speak now, it still has a certification path to go through I believe. Not something I've looked into of recent times, though, so I could be wrong. :)

Yechiel,

     There are a number of changes (usually for the better) with RAC between 9.2 and 10.x - a number of operations are much easier with 10.x. With 10.2 ready to come out any day now, I fear that if you go for 9.2 some of the work you will do will be for nothing, because you will be asked to migrate to 10.2 pretty soon, and probably to go live with 10.2. I don't need to tell you what the standard Oracle support answer will be in 3 months' time if you run into a problem with your 9.2 ... Since you are going for a full Oracle version, can't you convince them to get you a pre-release 10.2 ?
