I would recommend you consider the further supportability of Oracle 10gR2 by Oracle as the primary factor in your decision.
http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Oracle_10g Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0) In July 2005<http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/2005>, Oracle Database 10.2.0.1 - also known as Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10gR2) - was released. Status: Supported Latest patch-set: 10.2.0.5 (the terminal patch set for this release) Premier Support Ends: 31-Jul-2010<http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/2010> (First Year Extended Support fees waived, so it will be fully supported until 31-Jul-2011<http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/2011>) Extended Support Ends: 31-Jul-2013<http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/2013> So if you upgrade to AR System 7.6.04 SP2 without upgrading the database, do you have Extended Support for your Oracle implementation? Even if you do, will you plan to upgrade again prior to July 2013? -David J. Easter Manager of Product Management, Remedy Platform BMC Software, Inc.

Currently we are using Oracle 10g R2 which is minimum version of Oracle that is supported by ARS 7.6.04 as per the compatibility matrix. I wanted to check is there any merit or does BMC recommend that Oracle DB should be upgrade to 11g along with the ARS upgrade, or it can be done seperately. I would really appreciate if you could share your experiences.
