Hi, I am writing a document and normally I wouldn't give a second
thought to saying such and such will run using a database such as
Oracle.
It occurred to me that Oracle is the name of the company, and that an
Oracle database doesn't differentiate between what you and I think of
daily as Oracle (eg. 9i, 10g, or "launched" but not "released" 11g),
and Oracle Times Ten or Oracle Database Lite or Oracle Berkeley DB or
some other database Oracle provides that I have forgotton about.
Does just shorthand "Oracle" still refer to say 10g. I don't want to
write Oracle 10g because then I am specifying a version which opens a
can of worms elsewhere.
Ideas anyone.
Thank you
Barry
The marketplace will consider "Oracle database" synonymous with the
9i .. 10g .. 11g product indefinitely.
