You can see an overview of the 9i New Features from the OTN site (technet.oracle.com). Select documentation and choose the 9i documentation. The 9i documentation has a special section that summarizes the new features.

Hi udhay ,

varchar and varchar2 are the same but varchar is being retired from Oracle 8i onwards. From Oracle 9i and above varchar2 will be used. I am not sure whether varchar is being used in Oracle 8i but definitely not in Oracle 9i.
