Well, I say I am interested in the J2EE portion because we currently
have an Oracle 9iAS license and all 9i databases except for one which
is 10g. We do not currently have a 10g AS license. However, I am
instructed to use Jdeveloper 10g, I have built some sample apps using
JDeveloper 10g specific (ADF-UIX) and have not had any issues so far
hitting a 9i database (in the dev environment). However, I am curious
whether we are reaping the REAL benefits if the database is not 10g.
So I guess the better question is, are the AS upgrades (as in J2EE 1.4
compliant) really separate from the 10g database?
Thoughts?
