The i stands for INTERNET and the g stands for GRID.
because from 8i onwards oracle support Internet and
from 10g onwards oracle supports grid architecture.
Starting in 1999 with Version 8i, Oracle added the "i" to
the version name to reflect support for the Internet with
its built-in Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Oracle 9i added
more support for XML in 2001. In 2003, Oracle 10g was
introduced with emphasis on the "g" for grid computing,
which enables clusters of low-cost, industry standard
servers to be treated as a single unit.
Thus "i" stands for Internet.And "g" stands for Grid
Computing.
