793.0. "ORACLE under VMS V5.4?" by WILARD::SARRACCO (it blinded me with science) Mon Nov 12 1990 22:37

    Does anyone have any information regarding whether ORACLE runs on
    VMS V5.4?  (Either version 5.x.x or 6.x.x)
    
    We have a customer who is waiting to hear from Belmont - their VMS
    upgrade (to accommodate 2 VAX 9000s) is being  held in limbo.
    
    Thanks,

    My customer was told by Belmont that "certification" of the ORACLE
    kernel under VMS V5.4 would be completed by approximately Dec. 1,
    which was 30 days after they placed the support call,
    
    Actually, I'm not surprised, the Big "O" seems to have a problem
    in delivering a consistent message....

    The latest information which I was able to obtain indicates that
    ORACLE V6.0.3.30 has been certified for VMS V5.4.
    
    Also, acceptance testing for V5.1.22 is about 50% completed.
    
    Also, Big O engineering stated that both versions ran undera
    pre-release version of VMS V5.4.

793.4I used it ... it's OKMAIL::DUNCANGRdb &amp; DTM, 2 phase knockout for OracleWed Nov 21 1990 23:034
    We used Oracle 6.0.30 and VMS 5.4 @CXN during some recent benchmarks.
    Both VMS and Oracle seemed to work just fine.
