The Oracle Database plug-in 3.0 includes the following improvements.
The Start, Stop, and Verify component procedures enable you to start, stop, and check the status of your Oracle 9i or 10g database.
The Oracle 10g Database plug-in no longer depends on the Oracle 9i Database plug-in. You can install and use the Oracle 10g Database plug-in without installing the Oracle 9i Database plug-in on the same system.
