Oracle Database 11g For Windows
 By Chris Crum
Oracle has announced the general availability of Oracle Database 11g for Windows. This version is supposed to be optimized for Windows and .NET.
It also includes new indexing and storage methods for XML, which Oracle claims provide up to 15 times improved performance.
"Oracle is committed to providing choice, and we continue to deliver on that promise with the release of Oracle Database 11g on Windows," says Oracle's senior vice president of Database Server Technologies, Andy Mendelsohn.
"Optimized for Windows, Oracle Database 11g helps growing businesses address their increasing data management demands with unrivaled price/performance and scalability," added Mendelsohn.
New capabilities for Oracle Database 11g are listed as follows:
•Oracle Real Application Testing enables businesses to efficiently test the changes made to their IT environment from operating systems to servers to software, reducing the risks and costs associated with such changes
•Oracle Advanced Compression capabilities delivers compression ratios of 2x to 3x or more for all data types for added cost-effective storage of data
•Oracle Total Recall offers an easy, practical way to query the historical changes to data for change tracking, auditing and compliance
•Oracle Active Data Guard enhances the performance of production systems and provides a more cost-effective disaster recovery solution by enabling the offloading of resource intensive tasks such as queries and backups to a single physical standby database
•Oracle Partitioning automates many manual data partitioning operations and extends existing range, hash and list partitioning to include interval, reference and virtual column partitioning
Oracle is offering a free evaluation version for 32-bit Windows available for download here.
