I think self-regulating temp tablespaces and rollback tablespaces (now officially called undo tablespaces) are big changes.
Scrolling cursors will keep many developers happy.
RMAN is getting a big push. Log Miner has a GUI front-end that works nicely. Objects get a makeover that theoretically means more people will start to use them.
Yes, I guess all those things are incremental improvements, and no, I guess there isn't a huge paradigm shift... but I'd say it's a bigger shift from 8i to 9i than it was from 8.0 to 8i (unless you are a java developer).

All the Oracle major releases that I have seen apported one or more big
changes to the database infrastructure: Oracle 6 tablespaces, datafiles
and declarative constraints, Oracle 7 "real" constraints, stored
procedures and triggers, Oracle 8 OO features, Oracle 8i (even if
strictly speaking it is not a major release) a Java virtual machine
inside the database.
I read a lot of papers about 9i but I'm wondering what's really new with
it. A lot of things are "improved", others changed their name, but I'm
not able to see something really new. It seems more a 8.2 than a 9.0. Or
am I wrong?
Have a nice working week.
Best regards, Cristian
