Anyone here running ORACLE 11g in a Linux environment on an HP rx (Itanium) platform?

Roger,

Do you know something we don't?

Cos according to the Oracle download page, 11g is currently available for linux x86 only:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_linuxsoft.html

So I'd be surprised if anyone is running this yet (except maybe 1 or 2 beta sites)

This is the answer I was expecting. Thanks.

I had been told this was in-fact happening and I couldn't believe it either. I had to ask somewhere and this was "the" best place. If my contemporaries don't know of any cases then it ain't happening - as they say.

Thanks.
