Oracle doesn't offer 8i certifications anymore. The question was about OCP certification. Why would mentioning 8i, a version, as you've said, "has been desupported for 4 years", be relevant to this thread? Should I then mention 7? What about 6? How low do you want to go?

And yes, I've got to admit it as well. I still have an 8i installation here for a dev machine. Sure, I've already created a 10gR2 dev machine, but the programmers are slow to switch over.

BTW, I just installed my first 10gR2 64 bit 2-node RAC! Yeah!
