You Asked

G'Day Ask Tom,
I have been asked to look into curating an IBM ZOS mainframe interactive blog community on LinkedIN as an Oracle expert. It occurred to me to ask what the installed base on IBM mainframe might be, roughly? It seems that there is a conflict of interest here with IBM's own commercial database offering DB2 so it is an open question for me. If Oracle RDBMS on mainframe is a rarity a blog may not return in value the effort expended.

Thank you for your time,

Best regards,

Mike

From MOS Doc ID 461234.1

10g Release 2 is the terminal release of Oracle on ZOS.

So to be honest, I don't think there is a high demand, because anyone still running it is pretty much out of any support capability anyway.
