Mark is correct that the current version for Oracle on the 3k is 7.2.3 and
7.3 is available on UX and NT today.  7.3 is being ported to the 3k now,
and should be available soon.  I'm sure your asking "what is soon?" and I
actually don't know.  However, if you are interested I can find this out
from the CSY Oracle contact (Jennie, you may actually be monitoring the
list and can just add the information).

I have heard rumors that Oracle had planned to stop supporting new releases
of Oracle on the MPE/iX platform.  If this is so, you may eventually run
into software compatibility and support issues.  I would check with Oracle
to verify the current release that is available for the HP3000.  I believe
that the current release on MPE/iX is 7.2.3 while you can get 7.3 on HP-UX
and NT.
