Oracle8i release 8.1.7 included the following:

Support for returning multiple rowsets.

Consumers can use this feature to access all the REF CURSORs returned by a stored procedure. See "Multiple Rowsets" .
Support for the Unicode character set.

Using this feature, consumers can use OraOLEDB to access data in multiple languages on the same client computer. It can be especially useful in creating global Internet applications supporting as many languages as the Unicode standard entails. For example, one can write a single Active Server Page (ASP) that accesses an Oracle8i database to dynamically generate content in Japanese, Arabic, English, and Thai. See "Unicode Support" and "Datatype Mappings in Rowsets and Parameters".
