Re: general opinions of the new features in Oracle 11

Thats a big question.... <shameless plug>My Oracle Press book Oracle Database 11g New Features looks at the features, tries them on for size and even gives you some of the experiences I had with them. Arup also provides some great commentary. </shameless plug>

I think that to date, the number of people who have really played with 11g in-depth are few. I would suspect that Q408 and on will see more people starting to look seriously at 11g.

A few of the features that have some good potential (ignoring the licensing issues):

Flashback Transaction
Flashback Archives
New Data Compression features
New partitioning features (interval partitioning in particular) Database Replay

Just to name a few.

Of course, since this is a new product, there are a number of bugs around.

Has anyone found the new features in Oracle 11 particularly useful? If so which ones have you used and how have you used them? I can read the new features guide, but I have not used it at work. I am curious about some real world experiences. Any features that you don't think live up to the hype?
