This section describes the new object-relational features of Oracle 11g release 1 (11.1). New features information from previous releases is also retained to help those users upgrading to the current release.
The following sections describe the new features in Oracle Object-Relational Features:
Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) New Features in Object-Relational Features
Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) New Features in Object-Relational Features
Support for Generalized Invocation
Generalized invocation syntax is now supported. Therefore, a member method in a subtype can statically invoke (dispatch) a member method in any supertype in the supertype hierarchy of the current subtype, including the subtype's immediate supertype.
New object-relational features for Oracle 10g release 1 (10.1) include the following collection enhancements:
New functionality for nested table and varray storage, including the evolution of varray size and specification of a tablespace when storing nested tables. See "Creating Collection Data Types".
New functionality for nested table comparisons and ANSI SQL multiset operations for nested tables. See "Operations on Collection Data Types".
