RE: Another One Bites The Dust

["Jones, John \(US\)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, the answer is:  Define "running Oracle."

Can you run the Oracle database on i5/OS?  No.  Can you run it on i5
hardware as described by Jim below?  Yes.

Can you run the Oracle-owned JD Edwards World suite on iSeries? Yes and
that's the only platform it runs on.

Can you run the Oracle-owned EnterpriseOne suite, formerly JDE OneWorld,
on iSeries?  Yes for all components except the Deployment Server which
is only available for Windows (although you can use an IxS/IxA for it).

Can you run the Oracle-owned Peoples Enterprise suite on iSeries?  No.
It is only available for Windows and *nix and there is no support for
DB2/400.

Can you run Oracle's own application suite on iSeries?  I don't know but
I highly doubt it.  I'm pretty positive it's dependent on the Oracle db
so probably not.

Can't you run Oracle on an Iseries???

Answer:  Yes, but not under i5/OS.  You must run it under AIX or Linux.
You can also put it up on an iSCSI/IXA/IXS attached Intel server.
