Experience with Oracle Database 11.2.0.3

[viruzz23]

Hi folks 

According to the user guide of 5.9/5.10, ACTIVITI was successfully tested with Oracle Database 10.2.
Since 5.11 there is tested support for 11.2.

Is there any special reason for this? Is Oracle 11g not supported by previous (<5.11) releases?

The reason is very simple: we switched our QA environment and got a new Oracle installation 🙂
So nothing special, just that we are more sure it works with that particular version.

Have there ever been any Oracle related updates since v5.9?

Bug found with 5.11 with Oracle: NPE and message "null" if leave some fields empty in forms, for example not fill email field on creating user. Possible happens on parsing empty string and related with Oracle specific supporting null/empty strings

Sure, both 5.10 and 5.11 contain upgrades to the DDL for Activiti.

Bug found with 5.11 with Oracle

Can you be more specific, ie. how to reproduce it on Oracle?
