Top Five Cool Features of Oracle9i

1 Flashback Query
Ever wanted to run a query against your data as it appeared last month?
You can, and much more, using Oracle9i Flashback Query.

2 Access External Files
No more work-arounds for accessing data not in your database.
Now you can query data that’s kept in files outside the database.

3 SPFILE
Change your instance parameter values on the fly and have them take effect instantly with SPFILE.
You modify SPFILE settings with the ALTER SYSTEM command.

4 Automatic Extent Management
Prior to Oracle9i, determining the correct size of extents, resizing them, and monitoring them
was a big task. Now, Oracle9i automates the process of extending the size of a datafile.

5 Oracle Enterprise Manager
More integrated and comprehensive than ever, you can use Enterprise Manager to manage your
entire Oracle environment, other applications, listeners, and more.
