Edition-Based Redefinition is really exciting new technology. From the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oracle.com\/pls\/db112\/homepage\" target=\"_blank\">11gR2 Application Developer&#8217;s Guide<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Edition-based redefinition enables you to upgrade the database component of an application while it is in use, thereby minimizing or eliminating down time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;To upgrade an application while it is in use, you copy the database objects that comprise the application and redefine the copied objects in isolation. Your changes do not affect users of the application\u2014they continue to run the unchanged application. When you are sure that your changes are correct, you make the upgraded application available to all users.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is not released yet but It will include significant changes to the
