Oracle 11g new
Features
Rumors are flying that Oracle will formally announce the next
major release of Oracle at Oracle Openworld 2006, most likely on
Monday, October 23rd. If we look historically, we are "due"
for a new release of Oracle:

The big question is what they are going to call the next release,
and people are speculating:
- Release number - Because some of the confusion about
the existing release "11i" of Oracle Applications, some think
that the next release will be dubbed release 12.
- Release suffix - Oracle has changed release suffixes
from "i" (Internet) to "g" (Grid), and some expect the next
release to be "f" (Fusion).
The 11g Beta is now accepting applicants
Oracle has just announced that they are accepting beta program
participants for two new programs, one for Applications (PL/SQL,
Java/JDBC, and XML) and another for Oracle Audit Vault:
