Priority Service Infogram for 22-AUG-2012


RDBMS

Laurent Schneider had an epiphany on Dynamic number of columns based on some postings from Tom Kyte.

Speaking of Tom Kyte, when he gives you The keys to Oracle… it is wise to use them.

Gokhan Atil finds some time savings from running Dbverify (dbv) in parallel.

Exadata

Jonathan Lewis post about Compression Units – 5 and Exadata.

SQL

Over at Martin Widlake's Yet Another Oracle Blog we have a continuation of the saga of Exclusion of Unioned SQL in Views.

PL/SQL

Over at Toolbox.com Lewis Cunningham continues his discussion of booleans with Booleans Extreme (sounds like something from a technically savvy fast food ad, eh?).

MySQL

MacLochlainns Weblog tells us all about MySQL Workbench Scripts.

APEX

Martin Giffy D'Souza on Oracle APEX talks about How to Create an APEX Session in PL/SQL, a handy debugging tool.

Security

A lot of good ideas that are fairly simple to implement in here, though some of them may make for surprises when patching or someone is filling in for you and doesn't know about the non-default settings: 10 Crazy IT Security Tricks That Actually Work at CIO.

ADF


SOA

The VENNSTER blog goes through the steps of Installing Oracle SOA Suite10g on Oracle Enterprise Linux.

Book Review

Alex Nedoboi brings us this review of   “Oracle Database XE 11gR2 Jump Start Guide” by Asif Momen.

And Finally…

I have long watched the gaming realm with interest (even though my idea of an advanced video game is moving from Solitaire to Angry Birds). This article at Oracle SOA Suite - Team Blog discusses GaaS (Gaming as a Service). I'd love to see the area expand. There are some pretty exciting items coming from the realm of games now, after all. For instance robots that use inexpensive cameras with integrated motion controls based on Microsoft's innovative Kinect system.

A new game for phone owners over at Martin Widlake's Yet Another Oracle Blog, and you don’t even have to download an app: Friday Philosophy – New Game: Phone Zombies! (You Too can Play).
