Re: Is 10g ready for primetime?

As far as I'm concerned, and based on my prod. environments ...

1. anything that was in 9i is now working correctly, or at least MUCH better than it did in 9i;
2. anything introduced in 10g has had a year to be patched, and is reasonable & production ready - but I'd consider waiting for the 10g R2 release - which should be any minute now :) - for a 24x7 environment.

Specifically, Data Guard is rock-solid (it was introduced in 8i or before.)

I was quite pleased with RAC in 9i, but have had no reason to implement a 10g RAC yet.

My personal rule is to look at the benefit of ALL the features relative to the application, and upgrade if there is a return overall. This means I will also look at stuff like the built-in Workflow, Locator, Queueing, external procedures, aggregates, etc. that most developers seem to duplicate in their code (because they are too busy duplicating the capability to read what's new).
