forgive me the cynical approach. But I've heard the "this time it's so much better" mantra from Oracle so many times before, I'll have to sit back and smirk.

Way past the stage where I could get excited at a new X$ view here and there. Or any of the RAC stuff. Or how few dba resources are gonna be needed from now on. Or how cheap it's gonna be now.

When 9i came out and everyone was foaming at the mouth over it, I gave it a year. Tops. Bingo, 9ir2 sure did come out with heaps of bug fixes and making most of the new stuff truly usable. It created its own string of bugs and problems, though. And many unfound ones, which we'll learn about as people start using it. Most likely what will happen with 10 as well.

I'll be going to the launch thingie here. Promises to be a good show, if we don't get a bomb scare like the US. At least Ken Jacobs looks like he's making an appearance. I'll always have time to listen to him.

Cheers
