Thread: Abbreviation 9i and 10g in Oracle

what does i stand for in Oracle 8i and 9i
and what does g stand for in Oracle 10g

Hi! Anjali,
the "i" in oracle 8i & 9i stands for Internet and "g" in oracle 10g stands for Grid. these are the names of oracle database with the new features.

Thanks & Regards
Raafay.

the i stands for INTERNET.
and it started from version 8i and continued till 9i.
because till the version 8 there was no support of data manipulation using Internet. And this was introduced in the version 8i.

and the g stands for GRID
it was part of 10g ,beause if this version oracle supports GRID architecture.
This is also continued in the upcoming version 11g. which is expected in a couple of months.
