Thanks for your very quick response. 

What about MSSQL?

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Switching database from mysql to Oracle

Well supported? ... i do try my best :D

I'm running a few farms on 1.17 and some standalones on 1.19 (i think?!), but 
i'm in the process of switching all of them to 1.21 once it's officially out 
and i manage to port some of our in-house extensions.
Oracle versions on all of them have just been upgraded to 11g R2
(11.2.0.3) SE,  but they used to run on most versions from 10g R2
(10.2.0.2) onward.

I'd suggest you go with the 1.20 or better yet wait for 1.21. You'll also have 
to up PHP to 5.3+.


LP, Jure
