I added this to the EclipseLink FAQ:

EclipseLink supports any relational database that is compliant with SQL 
and has a compliant JDBC driver. EclipsLink has extended support for 
several database platforms. The extended support mainly consists of 
providing native sequencing support, schema creation, and certain database 
functions. These platform classes can be found in the 
org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database and 
org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.oracle packages. 

These include: 

Oracle 
Oracle JDBC (8, 9, 10, 11)
