Monday March 1, 8:47 pm Eastern Time See bottom before clicking over, Oracle ships Internet-friendly 8i database program PALO ALTO, Calif., March 1 (Reuters) - Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq:ORCL - news), the world's No. 1 database software company, on Monday said 8i, its latest database program, designed to work seamlessly with the Internet, was now available from dealers. In January, Redwood Shores, Calif.-based Oracle postponed shipment of 8i to allow more time for integrating other software and development tools with the product. It was originally slated to ship by the end of 1998. ''The Internet is not just a change in technology, it's a completely new way of doing business,'' said Chuck Rozwat, head of Oracle's server technologies division. Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison has called 8i the only technology a company needs to use applications that are accessible through the Internet. The program boasts tools such as a built-in Java Virtual Machine and a so-called ''Internet file system,'' which will store and manage Web pages, multimedia data, word processing files and spreadsheets. The database runs on computers using operating systems such as Windows NT from Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news), the Solaris version of the Unix operating system from Sun Microsystems Inc. (Nasdaq:SUNW - news), and Hewlett-Packard's (NYSE:HWP - news) version of Unix, among others. P.S Any of you people up to having some fun predicting next quarters EPS?? I would'nt ask, but this is not the most active threads, and I would keep tabs on all the predictions. So who will be first?:)
