This SearchOracle article,
Oracle 11g hits the streets, has some great information about the August
2007 general availability of Oracle 11g (on Linux). Here are excerpts from
BC:
Database 11g, the long-awaited overhaul of
Oracle's flagship database management system (DBMS), made its official debut
today. . . .
"Oracle has invested heavily into
self-tuning capabilities, including automated storage and memory management
and intelligent tuning advisors," said Donald K. Burleson, a well-known
independent Oracle consultant.
"Now, in 11g, Oracle closes the loop and
offers intelligent automation tools to create a self-healing database.
The most important 11g new automation
features include fully automated memory tuning and fully automated SQL
tuning, a major advance in database technology." . . .
Oracle says the system offers enhanced
self-management and automated features designed to help organizations manage
enterprise grids and deliver on service-level agreements. Key among them are
automatic SQL and memory tuning. . .
"SQL Server is driving up, Oracle is
driving down," Burleson said.
"And part of that drive-down that Oracle is
doing in 11g is putting artificial intelligence in the database.
That's where I think that Oracle is going
to beat the daylights out of SQL Server."
