It's not just about features directly used by your application. Oracle8i (and newer) have several features your DBA will love and your users even more (such as online table reorg and automatic rollback management in Oracle 9i).
I understand application vendors want to build on a stable platform, but when I worked for a software house we made a constant effort to keep up with newer versions, being at most two years "late" to the punch.
My 2 cents, anyway. Guess a bit off-topic though. Received on Fri Dec 27 2002 - 20:50:05 CST
