11gR2 11.2.0.2 Database Certified with E-Business Suite

[Jan 20, 2011 Update: Removed erroneous Linux x86-64 SLES 9 database tier reference] [Nov 18, 2010 Update: Added HP-UX Itanium to the EBS 11i list of pending certifications] We certified the 11gR2 11.2.0.1 Database with E-Business Suite 11i and EBS 12 late in 2009.  It’s taken a little longer than we had hoped to certify 11.2.0.2, the first patchset for the 11gR2 Database.  The reasons: the release cycle for 11.2.0.2 overlapped with our EBS 12.1.3 release cycle, and some of the ports for this patchset weren’t released until just before Halloween.  Our Server Technologies team is as-yet working on other ports, too. I know that some of you have been eager to apply this latest patchset to your E-Business Suite databases, so I’m very pleased to announce that Oracle Database 11gR2 Patchset 1 Version 11.2.0.2 is now certified with the E-Business Suite.
