Hi Reader,

i could not believe it;

but it's true. Oracle continues to develop Oracle Server on Mac OS X; and shipped now Oracle 10.2 for OSX;

Here the download link : Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4.0) for MAC OS X on Intel x86-64

 

and much thanks to Oracle;

/Karl

PS.: there are some restrictions to the release - for example DbConsole would not work ...

IBM Informix Dynamic Server to Deliver Support for Mac OS X

Informix has announced to add support for Mac OS X 10.2 Leopard; That's interesting because Oracle already did with the Oracle Server 10.1 release - but then stopped their commitment for the platform for unknown reason. But if Informix with a much lower number of installations is able to support a Mac OS X release why isn't Oracle?

The number of MAC OS X user is steadily growing - specially when Apple moved from Power to Intel Architecture; Interesting hardware (64bit) is available too : the Mac Pro and the Mac Xserve are capable to run Oracle effectively.

So - Oracle - why do you hesitate?
