Are you using any of Oracle's capabilities? Or are you simply using Oracle as a big, reliable, data bucket?

If you don't understand what I mean, I suggest reading the "Application Developer's Guide" set in the Oracle documentation at http://docs.oracle.com

If you are not using Oracle capabilities, then it does not really matter. At which time, Oracle10g is definitely stable enough.

The only areas I'd do additional testing in 10g to verify they are stable enough are those areas listed as New in the New Features docco. As far as I can tell, the rest is equivalent to being '9.3' Received on Fri Jul 02 2004 - 09:07:19 CDT
