I'm an Oracle DBA by trade and was able to patch my test systems running Oracle 9iR2 within days of the scheduled release date.
The article makes it sound like the target date was missed entirely, and while I know there are delays for some releases, others were made available as planned.
Why do I get the feeling that most of the complaining here is by people who don't actually use the product?
Everybody seems to be missing the point that it's not linux that's providing the increased performance - it's the new hardware. Replacing their aging sgi servers with new anything would have been a major step forward.
