The best summary of the differences between V6 and V7 can be found in Oracle7 Server Migration Guide. Most of the differences are added functionality in V7.
Some Highlights:
Enforced integrity constraints at the database level
Extended national language support.
Stored PL/SQL procedures and functions
Two-phase commit
Snapshots
Support for TP monitors
Parallel Server now also available on certain Unix platforms
Mirrored on-line log files.
More granular system priveleges
Support for roles
Multi-threaded server support
Cost based optimization
Hash cluster support
A menu-driven SQL*DBA utility
VARCHAR2 strings of up to 2000 characters
LONG and LONG RAW now support objects upto 2Gig in length
Hope this helps.
