11g Released Today

Oracle released 11.1.0.6 on Linux today.

The links for the 11g docs are on the psoug.org website ... click on the 11g icon (top center)

The link to the download page is just below it.

Morgan's Library has now been updated and contains substantial new 11g functionality including but not limited to:

New native compilation capabilities

New compound table triggers

New CONTINUE statement for loops

New DBMS_AUTO_TASK_ADMIN package

New DBMS_HPROF hierarchical profiler ... and this is a gem

New DBMS_NETWORK_ACL built-in packages that affect UTL_SMTP, UTL_MAIL, UTL_HTTP, UTL_INADDR and UTL_TCP capabilities

More than 60 new parameters and procedures in DBMS_STATS

New Result Cache and DBMS_RESULT_CACHE built in package and associated hint

New FLASHBACK ARCHIVE that extends FLASHBACK QUERY, FLASHBACK TABLE, and FLASHBACK VERSION phenomenally. This is also referred to in market-speak as TOTAL RECALL: And it is.

New Table Trigger FOLLOWS clause

New INVISIBLE indexes

A demonstration using the PARENT Correlation name with instead-of triggers

New PL/SQL object settings

New, and greatly enhanced, warning capabilities with DBMS_WARNING.

New VIRTUAL table columns

And if anyone cares to know ... this is not a promotional message for Morgan's Library as everyone here already knows it exists. This is a blatant promotional message for 11gR1 which I have now worked with for months and which is a wonderful enhancement that will keep Oracle the leader in commercial databases and keep all of us employed.

In the my lab I currently have 11g running on five servers and have a 2 node RAC cluster that has been up for more than a month without a single issue.

Thanks Mr. Townsend. Thanks. Mr. Hardie. And thanks to everyone that works with you. Great job.
