Oracle has launched
Oracle Database 11g, the next version of its main database
platform.
Oracle says a number of major customers have successfully
completed the Oracle Database 11g beta programme to test out the
enhancements to the platform.
The firms, which included Colgate-Palmolive,
Fidelity National Information Services, PB (Parsons
Brinckerhoff), and several members of the US Independent Oracle
Users Group (IOUG), tested out the promised improved management,
performance,
scalability and security for themselves.
Ari Kaplan, president of IOUG, said, “This latest product launch
is based on strategic input from many IOUG members. We believe that
this latest Oracle product will be successfully used by our
community of enterprise customers.”
Arthur Fleiss, IT architect at Colgate-Palmolive, said, “Three
new features in Oracle Database 11g that really jump out are
Automatic SQL Tuning, Partition Advisors, and Real Application
Testing.
“These three things alone are reason enough to upgrade. They
improve the reliability and performance of the database, yet do not
take loads of the database administrator’s time to implement.”
