...so anyway I have not had time to implement the IOT suggestion (people keep giving me other work !), but its nice to know that I can do the same thing in Oracle that I used to do in Ingres. So thanks for the help.

But pre-ordering your data is a handy feature that saves time (during the day) and hassle.

But getting back to my original question, "is Oracle technically better than Ingres". I still can not say that it is. I was waiting for a smoking gun from some Oracle people as to why Oracle is better.

Furthermore I kept having an Oracle "snapshot too old" problem which meant that after weeks of studiously putting my SQL query together, I am now having to split it up again. Something to do with the query taking too long.
