It appears that marketing at Oracle has way too much time on its hands
when it comes to renaming products.
SQL*Forms to Oracle Forms to Developer to Developer/2000 to Developer
Suite to Internet Developer Suite
or the constant rename of Context to Intermedia to Oracle Text to ....
or my personal favorite .... is it a pfile, parameter file, init.ora,
initSID.ora, ....
But when it comes to words like BLOCK and INSTANCE they seem to be
snorting Novocaine.
Taking the same word and reusing it to mean wholly different and
incompatible things.
