Did anybody test JIRA 5 on Oracle 10g?

[Boris_Maras]

Atlassian recently dropped the official support of Oracle 10g, since JIRA 5 : http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Supported+Platforms

10g is still supported by Oracle, until July 2013. See http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-technology-069183.pdf

We do not plan to upgrade to 11g before 2013, but would need to upgrade JIRA to version 5.

I asked the Atlassian support on the reason why they dropped support of Oracle 10g :

why we drop the support for ORACLE 10G in JIRA 5 was not based on bugs from ORACLE side but because we need to ensure that newer releases of JIRA are compatible with the most recent versions of databases. Providing support for several versions is quite a huge testing overhead.

Based on that, it's not impossible that JIRA 5 might run correctly on Oracle 10g (even if there would be no official support from Atlassian)

Did anybody try that?

Yes it works very good. We been using the Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition in the Jira 4.4 and now in the Jira 5, by now we never had a problem!
