On Aug 7, 2014. Oracle officially withdraws support for Informix and Sybase database platforms: Tech Update – Oracle Modifies Supported Platforms for PeopleSoft (Doc ID 1915316.1).
The note indicates that:
- PeopleSoft 9.1 will be the terminal release for PeopleSoft applications supporting the Informix and Sybase database platforms.
- No support for these platforms will be provided with PeopleSoft 9.2.
- PeopleTools 8.54 will be the last release supporting the Sybase and Informix databases.
- No extended support for PeopleSoft 9.1 applications will be offered with the Sybase and Informix database platforms.
It further recommends that users in this platforms will need to transition to another database after support ends and the Oracle database should be selected as a replacement.
I know some PeopleSoft customers on Panama that are using Sybase database that will be more than happy to migrate to a better supported database. It is really hard to work for a database platform with a very low customer base, where you usually cannot find a capable DBA to work on it.
