Groovy APEX
Yes, it's a new language named Groovy. I suppose it was inevitable. The link to an Oracle whitepaper on this new language in JDeveloper is to be found here.
Also over at Grant's blog is a good list of factors when you are thinking about moving from Forms to APEX. I'd say go for it. I love APEX. But don't assume it's a push-button process. There is still plenty of room for the usual vicissitudes of computer development work.
Optimizer
The Inside the Oracle Optimizer has a good technical article (they have yet to produce a posting that is less than 100% technical) on Adaptive Cursor Sharing. Ah, that brings back memories of school...no, wait...that was Abusive Chalk Hoarding.
Nehalem
We blogged last week about Kevin Closson's posting on the unnerving speed of the new Nehalem processor. Well, in the realm of peer review, there is a posting this week on the Structured Data blog that link's to Kevin's posting and shows off some results that back it up.
EBS
This week on the Oracle E-Business Suite Technology blog:
Here, courtesy of Keith Murphy of Oracle, is an availability matrix for the CPU:
