Previously, ETI's components were grouped into toolkits with built-in user limitations. Now all editors are available to all users and companies can utilize their staff in ways that work best for them. ETI Announces Support for IBM's DB2 Universal Database 1. Oracle8i offers many new features and enhancements for the data warehousing and VLDB environment. The performance of queries is dramatically increased by materialized views and summary management, which allow frequently requested summaries to be stored and maintained.
Parallelism is improved with more operations offered in parallel.
Oracle8i allows you to integrate all your data into its data store. The Oracle8i extensibility framework and object relational technology have been exploited to extend the reliability, availability, and data management capabilities of the database server to multimedia data. A new multimedia option, Oracle8i interMedia, services text, document, image, audio, video, and location data in a single integrated package. The Spatial, Time Series, and Visual Image Retrieval options, available separately, also have been designed to utilize the Oracle8i extensibility architecture. These automated triggers can greatly enhance the speed of queries and overall system response time.
