Mladen, I think this is the wrong attitude, to be honest, and it's not Oracle's fault. This is the result, in large part, of competitive pressures. Oracle must keep up or loose market share, loose revenue, and finally loose investor confidence. In a sense, it's *out* fault, as we demand that Oracle support this (for example, partitioning or drop column or XML) and we fault it if they do not (e.g. Well UDB does this, or SQL Server does that). We are the precipitous of all of this change ultimately.
We are actually using 9i on several production systems, and I've got 9iR2 on it's way. I've been banging 9iR2 pretty hard over the past 6 months. I think it's much more solid than 9iR1 was. Highly recommend that if you are going to move to 9, that you make it 9iR2. RF Robert G.
