    Hi,

    I think it stands for "internet".

    This is some info I got from one forum:

    --Starting in 1999 with Version 8i, Oracle added the "i" to

    the version name to reflect support for the Internet with

    its built-in Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Oracle 9i added

    more support for XML in 2001. In 2003, Oracle 10g was

    introduced with emphasis on the "g" for grid computing,

    which enables clusters of low-cost, industry standard

    servers to be treated as a single unit.

    Thus "i" stands for Internet.And "g" stands for Grid

    Computing.--

    Wikipedia seems to agree with this summary too:

    Heh... there is no "I" in Oracle... you need a Systems DBA. 😛

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
