Yeah, Oracle has run on the OS X PPC server for a while, I think, but this is the first Intel-supported DB.

That's likely why they ported 10.2 first, rather than XE, just guessing.

I think it makes plenty of sense to install 10g on OS X. Kind of a bias to assume a DB has to be installed on a "server" O/S. Plenty of startups out there are using OS X on laptops to start their services.

It's good to see Oracle starts to support Mac OS X Intel platform. (Actually Oracle BPM Studio supports Mac OS X since version 6^^).

Well I would say I don't feel it make too much sense to install Oracle DB 10gR2 on OS X. But it does for Mac OS X Server.

Personally I prefer to install Oracle DB on Linux (RHEL/OEL or Debian/Ubuntu).

Heh, baby steps. This is a big deal, at least I think so. We'll see how it goes I guess. Curious to know the download metrics and feedback.

I don't expect to see 11g Rel 2 on OS X/Intel anytime soon, but I'd be pleased to be surprised about that.

More optimistic about XE; I think the porting team is tired of hearing from me on that subject. But hey, let's get an 11g XE out there first!
