RE: RE: Oracle9i v/s 8i performance ?

Prem

   If you take a look at the 9i New Features exam, you will see that a lot of material is covered. I don't know your application, so I can't really advise you. You know your application, so you're just going to have to read the available new features and for each feature ask yourself whether your application can take advantage of this feature. For some features your application may need to be modified to utilize that feature.

   Depending on your learning style, you may find the Oracle Education 9i New Features class to be beneficial. It certainly was for me because the instructor (John Hibbard) is good at giving a peek "under the covers". Or you might take a look at Robert Freeman's book on 9i New Features. If you have taken your OCP for 8i, then take the 9i New Features exam and you will end up with a pretty fair idea of all the new features, as well as being 9i certified. Perhaps someone else can think of a shortcut (please reply if you do), but all I know is to get in and do the work. Sorry.
