Oracle Developers Release for 10.2

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug. 26, 2002 -

Oracle today announced the

immediate availability of the Oracle9i Database Release 2 Developers

Release on Mac OS X version 10.2 "Jaguar," Apple's UNIX-based operating

system, as part of an early access program for the Oracle and Apple

developer community.

The software download is immediately available

free-of-charge to all registered Oracle Technology Network members. With

this release, Apple developers can build applications that leverage

Oracle's leading database technology running on Xserve, Apple's powerful

new rack-mount server.



Oracle's latest installment, Oracle9i Database Release 2, offers new high

availability, business intelligence and XML features, as well as numerous

performance and manageability improvements.



MacMegasite Spin: This is the first real industrial strength database for Mac OS X, and will benefit Apple's reputation as a serious Unix platform vendor.



Oracle's Mac support was spotty in the past, but it looks like they're taking it seriously this time.
