The Oracle Database version compatibility matrix and version support matrix are almost mandatory when installing or upgrading clients or servers.

Oracle Database client / server version compatibility matrix

Oracle calls this Client / Server Interoperability Support, Note ID 207303.1

Oracle Database version support matrix

Oracle calls this the Database Releases Support Status Summary, Note ID 161818.1

After a nice Lower Cost talk by Mark Townsend and the new Sun Oracle Exadata and Database Machine by Chris Baker, I attended ‘Upgrade to 11g – Best Practices’ by Mike Dietrich, ‘Consolidate on Low-Cost Server and Storage Grids’ by John Abrahams, ‘Oracle’s Maximum Availability Architecture’ also by John Abrahams & Lucas Jellema, CTO AMIS and ‘DBA 2.0′ by Ed Bangma.

It was nice to see our Whitehorses logo in the main presentation at the Oracle Netherlands 25 years sheet!
