MOS
My Oracle Support (the entertainer formerly known as Metalink, for
those of you who still remember Prince), is on the move. Here
is a page with links to videos and information on the new look of MOS.
ZFS
I've heard that this blog was originally going to go out on paper,
but the paperboys were collapsing from yelling out 'Get your Oracle EMEA Value-Added Distributor
News here!'. In any case they
have a link to the New
ZFS Storage Appliance Objection Handling Document.
Virtualization
The Oracle tweet stream let everyone know this week about the INFORMATION
INDEPTH NEWSLETTER, Virtualization Edition.
VM Templates
Also in the happy land of virtualization (where everything is
bigger and cheaper than it really has any call to be), there are new templates
available, according to Wim
Coekaerts Blog: New
Oracles VM RAC template with support for oracle vm 3 built-in.
ADF
One of our favorite ADF blogs at the Infogram is Andrejus Baranovskis's Blog,
and he comes through again: Solution
for Sharing Global User Data in ADF BC.

Edition

Storage
The OTN Garage discusses something free you may not
know about. And even if you do know about it, and know it's free, you may not
know how it is neater than sliced bread. Indeed it's a kind of sliced up
storage that pulls itself together as needed: Is
Linear Tape File System (LTFS) Best For Transportable Storage?
SOA
I haven't seen this blog from Francis
the SOA Man before, but this
article seems a useful start: Where
and How to Set JVM Parameters in Oracle SOA 11G.
RDBMS: Doctor, Doctor, It
Hurts When I Iterate This!
I love medical metaphors for databases and other computing
matters. My favorite expression from medicine that works in IT is: 'If you hear
hoof beats, think horses, not zebras'. In other words, don't start diagnosing a
performance problem by examining the spin counts on a latch, start from seeing if
the SQL was written by a frustrated jigsaw puzzle designer who is now writing
regulatory acts for Congress. Tom
Kyte also seems to find value
in medical metaphors, as you can see in this recent posting on his blog: Doctors...
Tom also proved that he has literally forgotten more about Oracle
than a lot of us ever knew in the first place with this article: When
is a foreign key not a foreign key...
Indexing
Richard Foote delves
into the very interesting topic of virtual indexes: Cost
of Virtual Indexes (Little Lies).
