So Openworld is in full swing, and those of us following from afar can keep up with the various official and unofficial reports online.
Yesterday's big announcement was the release of 10g Release 2 in January. The abridged feature list can be found here. It looks as if 10g release 2 will have some particularly interesting features for Windows based Oracle shops. One of these is the apparent fact that Oracle rather than Microsoft will be the first to ship an RDBMS with the ability to code Stored Procedures in CLR languages. The other morsel of temptation can be found here with a viewlet demo of the much promised integration with Visual Studio .Net.
Taken together with the release history of 10g (it will likely have been available for nearly 18 months by the time Microsoft SQL Server 2005 ships), these announcements make highly interesting reading for those of us who had been wondering about Oracle's commitment to the Microsoft platform.
