Meaning of "i" and "g"
Well "g" in Oracle 10g and onwards indicates grid computing. Grid computing means clubbing of several computers, by means of a network, where they work on a single problem at the same time. It enables resource sharing for multiple applications thus giving advantages like flexibility,low cost, efficiency, performance, scalability etc.
The "i" in Oracle 8i,9i indicates support for the Internet with built-in Java Virtual Machine (JVM). With a JVM (Java interpreter) built into the DBMS, triggers and stored procedures can be written and executed in Java . It thus enables Internet developers to write applications as well as procedures in Java.
