The latest release of the Oracle database, Oracle Database 11g, contains many new
features. Most of these features build on the existing foundation of Oracle database
technology.
We have tried to add details about these features in the chapters in which their discussion
seemed most appropriate, but there are of course some enhancements in the
new release that are outside the scope of this book.
The following sections summarize the new features of Oracle Database 11g that are
covered in this new edition, chapter by chapter. Although many of these features are
mentioned in multiple chapters, they are listed here according to where the most relevant
discussion occurs.
Chapter 1: Introducing Oracle
This introductory chapter was extensively updated to reflect the packaging changes
in Oracle Database 11g. It also briefly mentions features described in more detail in
other chapters.
