I heard that 7.1 doesn't really offer any performance enhancements. Most of the good stuff is supposed to be developer oriented. This is from an Oracle person. I haven't read otherwise. It seems that Oracle had some sessions designed to tell DBA's about the new features, but there weren't any new features of great interest to DBA's. Received on Thu Jul 21 1994 - 21:23:38 CEST
