Robert,
I guess what you say makes sense. But why the need to move the release
level from 8, to 8i, to 9i to 10i all within 5 years? Granted, there were
huge improvements from 8 to 9i. I guess what I'm arguing for is - lets stay
at 9i for awhile. There is nothing wrong with 9i release 1 thru 15. Are
the new features that will be available in 10i really that radical that
justifies a major release? Give the rest of us a chance to catch up to 9i.
My feeling is that Oracle will get hurt sooner or later - people will just
plain not move to the newer release, just to face migrating again in just a
few months. Makes no sense to me.

Is it that Oracle's business model is pushing these releases or is it the
rapid pace of technology change and the demand of the user for features? The
push to the web, XML, Java, and new feature requests (rename column, fk's ,
drop column, etc...). Then there is competition too that has to be
considered. If Oracle doesn't "keep up with the Joneses" as it were, what
kind of market share will it have 5 and 10 years down the line.
So, in my opinion, Oracle really has no choice but to pursue the course that
it is. I think they have learned some lessons down the road, and I'm willing
to bet that 10.0.1 (or whatever) will be far more stable than 9.0.1 was.

does this bother anybody else as much as it bothers me? just what is
Oracle's business model for pushing these release's out this fast? are
there that many new features, or a market to capture, that justifies this?
makes no sense to me. the shelf life of an oracle release is now about a
year and a half.

Heard from Tom Kyte that 10i should be out by Dec'03. He also said that the
code is already frozen and beta testing is going on.
