The community consensus I recall was three versions only. Anything beyond that would be up to the vendors. Mind you, I don't know what EDB guarentees but the Sun folks could end up patching everything back to 8.1 for the next 5 years depending on customer demand. So I think 5 years will be a reality for us for the conceivable future. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco
