Oracle8i for Data Warehousing
Part of the Oracle Internet Platform, the Oracle8i database
also supplies a solid foundation for data warehousing. Besides
delivering the performance, scalability, and availability
required of Internet applications, Oracle8i provides a fast
and scalable data warehouse, with features that simplify
operation and management. The Oracle8i database incorporates
numerous enhancements in query processing to deliver faster
analysis to more users. Increased scalability and higher
performance also result from server-based analysis functions,
such as ranking and roll-up operators. With fast and scalable
data management operations — even for terabytes of
data — Oracle8i improves efficiency and reduces overall
warehousing costs.
