Trang 1This chapter has undergone the most extensive revisions of any
chapter in the book; even its name has changed (from Oracle
and The Web) The Oracle Database 10g release claims to take
Oracle beyond the Web into the grid, so in addition to briefly covering features described in previous editionsfor example,
needs of grid computing and how the Oracle Database 10g
release is addressing them.

Trang 3The previous chapters of this book focused on the features and architecture of the Oracle database This chapter steps beyond the confines of specific features to look at the different
deployment architectures that have been a focus of the last
three Oracle releases
This book is now in its third edition We wrote the first edition
about Oracle8 and Oracle8i, and added Oracle9i coverage to the
second edition In that second edition, we entitled this chapter
"Oracle and the Web," recognizing that the capabilities of the Oracle database were being expanded beyond its traditional roleindeed, the database was becoming one of the pillars of an overall Internet platform solution
With the release of Oracle Database 10g, Oracle Corporation is
promoting another deployment architecture, the emerging
concept known as grid computing This chapter looks at how the Internet and its associated architecturewith its expanded scope and adherence to standardshave impacted the Oracle database over the past few years It also provides a brief
overview of an important complementary part of the "Oracle platform," Oracle Application Server Finally, the chapter
describes how grid computing fits into this evolution
This new version of this final chapter reflects the state of the
Oracle platform with the release of Oracle Database 10g, with
less emphasis on some of the functionality that went exclusively toward supporting previous versions of the Oracle platform
