Re: Comparison between Oracle 8 and Oracle 9

Are their claims based on actual experience with 9i or are they simply regurgitating Oracle's marketing line? It may well be "better" in many respects, but beware of "consultants" who make recommendations based on what they may have read somewhere - especially if the source vendor press releases or the thinly disguised equivalents - "first looks"/"reviews" in many trade magazines.

[For what it is worth - I'm just now beginning to seriously test some
pending new systems on 9.2, but won't claim that it is actually "much faster" or "more reliable" until I have some first-hand empirical evidence.]

Hi everybody,
Currently we are using Oracle 8.1.7 in our company and for a new datawarehouse project, a consultant company has suggested us to use Oracle 9. The have claimed that applications run much faster and it's more reliable etc... Of course I was not convinced. Could you please tell me, where I can get some documents about the comparison of these two databases? Thank you for your help.
