Publisher's Synopsis
Book and CD-ROM. This is an introduction to the newest release of the Oracle database which is positioned as a complete platform for Internet computing and electronic commerce. The 'I' in 8I represents Internet. One of the key marketing issues behind Oracle 8I is Oracle's attempt to position the database as a platform itself, independent of such ubiquitous operating systems as Windows 98 and the forthcoming Windows 2000. Learn Oracle 8I is a concise guide which covers all of the new features of the software from database creation up to the new file system. Every topic is clearly explained with many practical examples. The book comes with an evaluation copy of Oracle 8I, allowing the reader an opportunity to test the product's capabilities.
