RE: Oracle on AS/400?

["Shaw, David" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Buck,

It's my understanding that Oracle has shown no interest in supporting this,
apparently because they don't think there would be much demand for it and
they suspect the performance advantage of the native DB2 would be
embarrassing.  Janet's suggestion of waiting for the Linux partition support
is probably your best bet.

With the advent of PASE and AIX binary support, can we now run Oracle on
AS/400?
I know that it's a ridiculous question, but the Powers That Be want to know.
I checked the Midrange archives, the news group archives and the Oracle and
IBM web sites without much success.

We have some Oracle stuff running on Sun that we want to move over with the
minimum of fuss.  Hopefully, we'll then bundle the Oracle stuff with our DB2
stuff and offer a bigger and better whole...
