Oracle Database 11g Release 2 is launched today

By ssemergic


On September 1, 2009 Oracle Corporation announced the launch of its newest database product 11g Release 2.

It was heartening to see XIUS-bcgi, a Division Megasoft mentioned explicitly mentioned as one of the five key early adopters of the evolutionary product. Megasoft is a Chennai-based telecom software product; it is particularly satisfying for me as I used to be in the Megasoft Board till January 2009.

Interestingly, Oracle 11g Release 2 comes after two years of the release of the product; it also talks of performance improvements and not much about new features!

Just last Friday (August 28, 2009) Apple announced the launch of its OS upgrade (Snow Leopard) with NOT A SINGLE feature addition!

The trend shows the maturity of the software industry!

    Hello Professor Sadagopan,
    I really did’nt know you would have an opinion about Oracle 11g. Especially since I am an Oracle DBA myself :) .
    Yes indeed it is loaded some very cool features. The best one is that now we can release code, without disturbing existing version of code. So I guess It may just herald the end of crazy weekend shift, when new version is released.
    Glad to see your blog Sir.
