ThingWorx Foundation Installer for Oracle?

I am using ThingWorx Platform Release 9.5 and DatecodeSP5

What installer should be downloaded for Thingworx Foundation for use with Oracle? I see one download specifically for ThingWorx PostgreSQL and one for ThingWorx Mssql. I do not see a general "ThingWorx Foundation" installer or one specifically for Oracle.

Client wants to install Windchill and Thingworx/Navigate, utilizing the same DB engine (Oracle).

    I think Thingworx won't support Oracle DB Engine as persistence provider. 

     

    Please use below link for Compatibility Matrix - PTC Release Advisor - This is the master mashup for all PRA mashups.

    Hi @TR_12583162 

     

    I checked with Product Mgmt on the possibility that Oracle is on the roadmap for a future release.  It was confirmed that there are no current plans to support Oracle as persistence provider.

    I get it, but disagree with the lack of foresight on PTC's part. 

     

    I would guess a high percentage of customers install Windchill with Oracle.  Seems like a no-brainer that customers would like to leverage a database engine they already have and (one would assume) be familiar with when installing Thingworx Foundation/Navigate.
