QUESTION POSED ON: 06 February 2004
At the moment, I have a 9i database and I want know, what are the benefits of Oracle10g? I have been considering migrating my database, but I still don't understand its structure and functionality, or if it's even released.

Technet has the Oracle10g documentation available now. I suggest visiting this site and registering for a free account. After that, you will be able to access all of the documentation. In particular, the Oracle10g New Features guide will let you know what is new since the 9i release. There are too many features to list here. A read of the new features guide will let you know if 10g is worth the upgrade for you. You may very well find that it is.

Keep in mind that many DBAs don't trust production environments to the first release or two of a new product. New versions tend to have bugs which take a while to find and fix. So many DBAs won't trust this first version of 10g for anything in a production capacity, especially mission-critical databases. Personally, I'll load 10g in the very near future and begin to play with it, but I will not be using it for anything new for about a six to 12 months.
