Any information please on using Oracle 9i (9.2.0.3.0) in conjunction with 
Application Server 10g?

Both on Windows Server 2003 platform. 

Experts, is this a workable (certified?) combination?

Any reason to consider earlier (some say buggier) version 
of AS? Is there anything in AS 10g that will not be happy talking to 
Database 9i (9.2.0.3.0) on Win2K3.  

Appreciate any advice on this configuration, including "you must be 
crazy!" Have just heard good things about AS 10g versus its previous 
incarnations.  

Thanks, 
Mike

- Use 9.2.0.4 instead of 9.2.0.3.
- Wait until OracleAS 10g (9.0.4) comes available for Windows.

Combination should be certified. If you want the infrastructure database 
to be of version 9.2.0.4, you must create the repository with the 
Repository Creation Assistant (RepCA).

Avoid 9iAS 9.0.2.x if you can wait until you have 10g. The 10g (9.0.4) 
version is much more stable and easier to configure/install/use.

That is one of those "amazing and stupendous" products that is
projected to be certified but not available for download.  As opposed
to the W2K version, which is certified but not available for download.

I take it to mean there is some problem, although whether the problem
is with the product is difficult to determine.

Hopefully this will all be wrong by the time usenet propagates it.

Not at all. After the build has completed on Unix, the NT porting group 
starts porting it to NT. Instead of holding the Unix product until the NT 
product is ready, it is made available. Indeed you will have to wait 
longer for the NT product - if you don't want that, you could for example 
use Linux.

The Win2k version that _is_ certified _and_ available is 9.0.2, maybe you 
should search harder ;-)

I would however wait for 9.0.4 if you can.
