Oracle 10i

Mladen,

I think this is the wrong attitude, to be honest, and it's not Oracle's fault. This is the result, in large part, of competitive pressures. Oracle must keep up or loose market share, loose revenue, and finally loose investor confidence. In a sense, it's *out* fault, as we demand that Oracle support this (for example, partitioning or drop column or XML) and we fault it if they do not (e.g. Well UDB does this, or SQL Server does that). We are the precipitous of all of this change ultimately.

We are actually using 9i on several production systems, and I've got 9iR2 on it's way.
I've been banging 9iR2 pretty hard over the past 6 months. I think it's much more
solid than 9iR1 was. Highly recommend that if you are going to move to 9, that you
make it 9iR2.

I don't want to express my real feelings but @#$%! oracle should give us some time to get accustomed to the @#$%! 9i first. Is anybody here running 9i in production? My production systems are still on 8i, 8.0 (Oracle Financials) and even 7.3. Who makes so stupid business decisions at @#$%! Oracle? Are they out of their @#$%! mind?
