John, When you speak of Y2K compliancy think in terms of the application or interface that lays over the RDBMS. I would venture to say that all previous and current versions of the Oracle RDBMS store a 4 digit year. What would not be Y2K compliant are any applications written that did not specify a 4 digit year (MM/DD/YYYY) throughout the code. If a coding standard was not in place or a specification that mandated a 4 digit year then the application is suspect of non-Y2K compliancy. Since Oracle stores a 4 digit year by default there is no need to patch, upgrade or replace the database. JCS
