Oracle Priority Service Infogram this Week: 06-JUL-2011


Indexing

More about the much maligned and misunderstood realm of the bitmap index from Richard Foote's Oracle Blog: Bitmap Indexes and Not Equal (Holy Holy) .

Virtual Desktop

StreetInsider.com lets us know about a newly released Oracle Virtual Desktop Client App for iPad.

Hyperion

Rittman Mead gives us a good technical rundown on several aspects of the relation between Essbase and OBIEE: OBIEE Calculations, MDX Functions, Flattened Measures, and Essbase Sources

PeopleSoft

This article on the Oracle Critical Patch Update and Security Alerts is brought to us from the PeopleSoft Technology Blog, but you non-PeopleSoft folks can read about it too.

Security

Ever wonder if you're paranoid. It's possible they really are out to get you. Read all about Cursor variable and global cursors security issues at Pete Finnigan's Oracle security weblog.

Java

That's where this useful article from the Upgrade your Database - NOW! blog comes in: Database Registry: Component Dependencies.

EBS
