Re: OCP 8i->9i Documentation 1Z1-030

Well, that document was my set of notes so that I could teach the ILT 9i New Features course, on the grounds that Oracle's own notes are rather 'functional', and I needed something rather more discursive to work with. With 9iNF, I basically re-wrote the lot from scratch (you'll notice some gaps where either I didn't need to, or I haven't had time to, write it up yet), so that *I* could understand it. If I can understand it, I can teach it!

So the chapter headings are exactly what's on the course, and obviously that means the *general* content is supposed to be covered there, too. But other instructors won't cover it quite the way I do, because that doco. contains *my* words and demos and stuff.

Specifically, cache fusion and bitmap join indexes are most definitely covered (bitmap joins are something of a favourite feature of mine.... God, I must get a life sometime!!)
