Update to my earlier comment, the Paris OWB and Oracle 10gR2 does make a connection but crashes at
82% of the installation of the repository with an error about versions that are not correct.
It first crashed at 52% but that I was able to fix. The problem was that the user OWBRT_SYS (that it creates)
does not have create view privs and one of the scripts does try create a view under this user.

I tried the OWB Paris release against the 10g R2 database and it does work.

My hack does permit installation of OWB design repository into 10GR2 (albeit insupported), but runtime repository gave ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.sql.SQLException: Incompatible server version
after setting compatible=10.1.0.2.

A hack to cheat the installation is to temporarily replace the v_$system_parameter view with a custom view that includes enqueue_resources. Someone mentioned this idea in the OTN Database forum (not the OWB forum). This should make the installation work although there might be other incompatibilities between the current version of OWB and Database 10g R2.
