I am disappointed that it seems IBM is not releasing any more upgrade packs beyond Upgrade Pack 1. I was hoping that the stated intention to release them faster than fixpacks would be upheld, but it doesn't look like it. I understand that Domino 9.0 was released with the two-year old Upgrade Pack 1 incorporated in it.
I am looking to do some integration with Oracle, but I am concerned that if I switch to the unsupported OpenNTF code library to get the JDBC access, other things may break in my code.
Can I make the switch without breaking existing dbs? I am using the Extension Library controls all over the place.
Also, what about Domino 9.0? Will I be able to remove the Upgrade Pack 1 and replace it with the OpenNTF version? Will IBM ever release an Upgrade Pack 2?
Should I avoid the whole issue and go web services instead? Or use LEI or DECS?
Help!
