Dataserver for Oracle 8i De-supported.

According to Progress the “Next Major Release after OpenEdge 10.1A” will not have support for Dataserver for Oracle 8i. Progress Software lists Dataserver for Oracle 10g as the Replacement Feature. Extended Support ends December 2007.

Progress defines “De-supported” usage as: “De-support is used where changes in technology or standards have made a feature obsolete and it is removed from the OpenEdge product. De-supported features have replacement equivalents and have zero impact on backwards compatibility.”

If you are stuck with an older embedded version of Oracle and need to move beyond OpenEdge 10.1A it may be time to explore available alternatives.

Most Dataserver users are not affected by the decision to De-Support Oracle 8i as they are able to upgrade Oracle.
