9i now has the following that may help a DW:
-- Bitmap Join Indexes

• MERGE statement (its there, not well documented)
• List Partitioning
• External Tables
• Resumable Space Allocation

I'm sure there's more, but that's what I've found so far. (I only have so much spare time!)

What are considered to be some of the best practices for physical database layout in 9i for data warehouses.

This would be on Sun Solaris 2.6 and 9.0.1 (or possibly 9.0.2 if it comes out anytime soon). Would be using partitioning and star schema as well as bit-map indexes.

Anything important to consider in 9i in terms of new features for data warehousing? Any thing to watch out for?

Thanks for any experience you might have in this area.
