Changed 'Oracle Applications' to Oracle e-business suite.
Added description of 'Standard' and 'Enterprise' edition
Line 40:
*Oracle 9i (Release 2): 9.2.0.1 - 9.2.0.5 (Latest current patchset as of May 2004)
*Oracle 10g: 10.1.0.2 - 10.1.0.3 (Latest current patchset as of August 2004)
 
Oracle releases an 'Enterprise Edition' and a 'Standard Edition' of the database, with the Enterprise Edition containing more features. Recently (from 10g), Oracle has added 'Standard Edition One', which has some additional feature restrictions.
 
In addition to its powerful [[RDBMS]], Oracle has released several related suites of applications. These have historically followed their own release numbering conventions. For example, Oracle Designer's upgrade path led from 6i to 2000 to 9i, when it was subsumed into Oracle Developer 9i. As of the RDBMS 10g release, Oracle seems to be making an effort to standardise all current versions of its major products on the "10g" label. This will be most confusing to Oracle Applications users, who will have to upgrade from version 11i to version 10g.
