I watched the 9i Database overview (while burning 9i 4 leenucks CDs) - where did my rollback segments go? :) - default temporary tablespace for the database (for all users to inherit) - dynamic memory management of the SGA and PGA. If this means that after a query uses a hash join where it threw say 8 MB of memory as hash_area_size - that this memory will be released back to the available pool - I'm psyched. - NFS mounts for iFS. - Timezone/Daylight Savings time functionality across time zones. - Unicode 3.0 - LONG to LOB conversions (do not need to useexp/imp) - External Tables - can use PL/SQL to MATCH rows on external files (ETL). - multi table inserts - Upsert (insert/update) MERGE (yes, I'm lazy). - cubes in the database - OLAP Server. Yes, my time might have been better spent actually reading the 9i Administration manual, but I just don't feel like reading right now. >From the SuSE-Oracle list: Michael Hasenstein wrote: > > Gregor Schinke wrote: > > > anyone of you knows, if Oracle 9i is ready for Kernel 2.4 > > or have I still to use the glibx 2.1? > > Oracle 9i was developed by Oracle on SuSE Linux 7.1.

This site is definitely worth a look: http://www.suse.com/en/support/oracle/ Is it just me - or has anyone else seen that Dell offers "Linux 7" pre-installed on PowerEdge Servers? This utterly INFURIATES me. If Dell truly "gets" Linux - they wouldn't allow an obvious faux-pas such as this. There is no such thing as "Linux 7". "Linux" != "RedHat" I wonder if the use of the term "Linux" in this manner may in fact be a copyright/trademark violation. Please don't misunderstand me - I'm very glad that Dell ships pre-installed Linux distributions on its PowerEdge and Precision boxes - just call it what it is - ideally - "Dell/RedHat GNU/Linux 7.0". I'd settle for "Dell Linux 7.0". used RedHat 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2. as far as I was concerned - RH 7.0 was a terminal release for RedHat. Too many other good distributions. mucking around with Oracle on SuSE (7.1) anyways - since the 6.2 release (swag at NYLUG). playing on Mandrake 8.0.
