Hi Linda, Yes, we are running a number of installations against an Oracle database. Currently these are all based off of version 1.3.2 of DSpace - although as I wasn't personally involved in their setup, I can't comment to what extent we had to alter the code (I do know that there are a number of changes related to our specific requirements, that wouldn't affect others). Unfortunately, the current 1.4.1 release does not support Oracle properly, but the good news is that a number of fixes have been accepted into the code that will be released fairly soon as 1.4.2. There is still testing taking place on this code, but so far I am not aware of any Oracle related problems with the upcoming release, and it *should* just install and run successfully.
