Coming down off my 11g high…

I guess if I was honest with myself, I didn’t really expect to be downloading 11g database software on 11th of July, but to see my doubts confirmed is a little deflating:

Get Ready for Oracle Database 11g – July 11th 2007

It takes me back to a discussion with Tom Kyte at last years UKOUG where his estimate for the release date was, “Between 1st July 2007 and 31st December 2007”. 🙂

I know Oracle need months of hype before a release, but I’ve still got my fingers and toes crossed for something earlier than Christmas.

Oracle Database 11g…

Eddie Awads has posted that the 11g launch is on July the 11th. I have a feeling his hit rate is probably going mad at the moment.

Previous announcements said the release was planned for second half of this year, so I was expecting it to be December 31st. Coming so early in second half of the year is a rather pleasant surprise.

I like to think that in some way I am responsible for the early release. My constant moaning about being bored and wanting 11g to be released soon has obviously done its job. It’s truly wonderful to be the center of my universe. 🙂

Cheers
