Oracle 11g (Beta) New Features

April 22nd, 2007 by Rajender Singh · No Comments

After what I find yesterday (Enhancements in Oracle 11g PL/SQL), I research more about Oracle 11g. Found out few more things about it.

Database 11g beta includes 482 new features designed to address a range of database issues, from the need to retain more information to data compression to the handling of parallel upgrades, said Chuck Rozwat, executive vice president of Oracle server technologies, during his keynote speech annual users conference in San Francisco this year (2006).

The key theme of 11g is to provide “change assurance”.

The following are some of the new features:

  1. Compression technology that can reduce the amount of storage required for data sets by up to two thirds
  2. Speed boost allowing Oracle to finally beat file systems on reading data
  3. Data Guard - the ability to create a standby snapshot for the purpose of regression testing and to keep it in sync with your production database
  4. Replay Workload - the ability to capture all (or just SQL) database activities and then moving it to a testing environment without using a midtier tool
  5. Online Application Upgrades - hot patching, the ability to install upgrades or patches online with no downtime
  6. Quick Fault Resolution - the ability to capture of all diagnostics related to a fault automatically
  7. Database Repair Advisor - a wizard/expert system that guides DBAs through the fault diagnosis and resolution process
  8. Partition by logical object and automated partition creation to help manage Very Large Databases (VLDBs)
  9. New high-performance Large Objects (LOB) infrastructure
  10. Native Java & PL/SQL compilers
  11. Re-engineered driver for PHP
