Is this the same for Oracle 8?
I've posted this elsewhere, but I'll ask here too. What ARE the differences between Oracle 8 and Oracle 8i? Everything on www.oracle.com and technet primarly talk about 8i, but don't give a difference matrix.

I've got both Oracle 8.0.x and 8i.1.5 (both yet uninstalled), along with a production system running 7.3.4. We are looking at upgrading the 7.3.4 to 8something, but what 8something?

Trying to figuring out the differences from marketing information really sucks.
