New Cache attributes have been added to the Page attributes and Region Definition pages.





PDF PrintingThe advantage of this feature is that it provides production of high quality, easily printable reports.Create Rules and Actions for DML Events With Rules ManagerRules Manager now adds the ability to treat DELETE and UPDATE operations on a table as events that drive the rule evaluation and action execution (INSERT operations are already supported). In addition to pre-commit evaluation of rules based on trigger, this release supports post-transaction evaluation through use of the Change Notification feature of Oracle Database.Enhanced Rules ManagerRules Manager now includes a PL/SQL API to store reusable and shareable rule conditions in SQL WHERE clause format. Complex rule conditions can be assembled from these shared elements.New Capabilities for Domain Index OperationsA new domain index callout updates table and column name metadata for a domain index during an ALTER TABLE ... RENAME or ALTER TABLE ... RENAME COLUMN command to ensure domain index metadata is kept up-to-date.Oracle Text Predicates and Aggregate Operators are Included in Rule ConditionsThe Rules Manager feature of Oracle Database now supports the use of the Oracle Text CONTAINS operator with the SQL WHERE clause rule conditions.
