New Delhi, June 15 :    New Delhi, June 15:  The West Bengal government plans to use Oracle database software for its on-line government-citizen interface. Oracle, which today launched Oracle9i, its latest database software, has already made presentations to the Bengal government on the use of its products to enhance the IT infrastructure in the state. 'We made presentations to the West Bengal government and highlighted the benefits of our products and also presented case studies of various other states that have adopted the Oracle database software,' said Dipankar Sanyal, director, technologies, Oracle Software India. Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu use Oracle's database software for their government-citizen interface. 'The discussion with West Bengal is at a preliminary stage. It would be premature to divulge any detail about the nature of discussions we held with the state government. The officials were more interested in the security aspects and services capabilities of our software,' said Sanyal. 'The government sector is emerging as a major customer for our products. Our new product - 9i - will also be targeted at government institutions. We hope the government and public sector companies spends 3 per cent of their budgets to implement IT projects in their department,' he added. The new software will have a bilingual interface. The software can be programmed in English and in one of 10 Indian languages, including Bengali, Oriya, Assamese, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati and Marathi. Oracle9i database with real application 'clusters' (a set of computers connected to various servers) acts as a single database in a cluster and does not require the data to be separated on to multiple computers. Customers can add computers to the clusters and the new software will simultaneously upgrade all the new computers without physical installation.
