Oracle9i Release 1 (9.0.1) New Features in Oracle9i for Windows
This section contains these topics:
■Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS)
The following table describes some of the new features in Microsoft Transaction Server for Oracle9i.
Better |
Communication between the Microsoft Transaction Server |
performance |
application and the Oracle Service for MTS is no longer |
|
required. |
High |
The Oracle database is no longer dependent on the Oracle |
availability |
Service for MTS. Previously, if the Oracle Service for MTS was |
|
stopped, the Oracle database was unable to participate in |
|
Microsoft Transaction Server transactions. |
Improved |
The code that allows an Oracle database to participate in |
scalability |
Microsoft Transaction Server transactions is now embedded in |
|
each Microsoft Transaction Server application process. |
Easier |
Previous versions required a Windows NT service named |
configuration |
Oracle Service for MTS to be created for each Oracle database, |
|
enabling the database to participate in Microsoft Transaction |
|
Server transactions. Moreover, only one Oracle Service for |
|
MTS was supported for each Oracle database. This release no |
|
longer requires this service. |

■Oracle Objects for OLE
Oracle Objects for OLE supports the creation of temporary binary large objects (BLOBs) or character large objects (CLOBs) that can be manipulated and then bound into SQL statements or PL/SQL blocks, or copied into permanent LOBs.
Oracle Objects for OLE supports database events. This asynchronous notification is modeled along the same lines as the failover handler, thus a client can subscribe to one or more database events and can continue with other processing. Each database event that the client is interested in is stored as a subscription by Oracle Objects for OLE.
