As I recall the in 6.0 the TPO, Transaction Processing Option, became = part of the core product and not an extra cost add-on. Those sites = which had TPO previously were given the procedural option for free, = those which did not have TPO previously had to pay for the procedural = option.

Declarative constraints were introduced in v6, but they were not fully = functional. You could not drop a table which had a primary column = referenced by a foreign key column, but you could delete rows in the = primary key table which were referenced by rows in the foreign key = table. The referential integrity documentation did not acknowledge = this. It was written as if RI was fully functional

Version 6 did so have stored PL/SQL. I know I created many many stored = packages, procs and functions in 6.2. And I also used OPS in a VAX = cluster (two Vax servers, one database). Ran just fine, thank you.

And why did Oracle go from version 6.0 directly to 6.2 (skipping 6.1)? = Anybody?

hot backups were version 6 not 5... 6 was a major rewrite... introduced = rollback segments, tablespaces
