RDBMS, Hyperion, PL/SQL, APEX, SQL Developer, PeopleSoft, Exadata, Flashback


RDBMS

Tom Kyte is putting the finishing touches on the second edition of his magnum opus, Expert Oracle Database Architecture. You can preorder a copy at Amazon here.

Speaking of Oracle guruhood, Cary Milsap has an update on his blog about Filter Early

The title reminds me of the old Chicago voting motto: Vote early and vote often.

Hyperion

Just one item this week. Over at Glenn Schwartzberg's Essbase Blog Glenn has a moment of revelation about exports: Data Export, why I never thought of it

PL/SQL

Eddie Awad has a good article on Please Request a Reasonable Conversion, including some drill-down links at the bottom for further research.

APEX

David Peake let's us know that APEX 4.0 comes to http://apex.oracle.com

Also in the realm of APEX is this article from the APEX Development blog:
APEX 3.2 Quick Picks Updated.

Book Review: SQL Developer

Olaf Heimburger's Blog has a brief but useful review of the book Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.

PeopleSoft

We frequently link to posts at Jim's PeopleSoft Journal. Since he has a new book out, I'm sure it's worth taking a look at: PeoplesTools Tip Book

Flashback – Careful about Storage

A customer recently encountered problems with running out of space for Flashback Database logs (though it took a while to determine that was the problem). Here are a few interesting links that popped up when I was researching the problem:

and this one is excellent, and comes from Jonathan Lewis, one of the key gurus of the Oak Table Net performance group:
