Oracle8i onwards oracle is trying to provide extra facilities that are required to be an internet database.
Oracle8i provides special features to support various types of data that is to be
stored in web sites. Oracle supports both OLTP (online transaction processing)
applications as well data warehouse applications, which contain a very large
database (VLDB).
One of the biggest advantages of Oracle has been its presence on around 100
different platforms. Oracle is quite scalable, which means it can scale up and
down very easily as the requirements change.
Oracle also provides Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as part of database. This
enables oracle to run java programs. In fact, starting from Oracle8i, oracle can run programs written either in PL/SQL or Java.
