Oracle and Football

Proper football, that is.

As a big fan of Dimitri’s World Cup 2006 Apex application, I’m looking forward to the Euro 2008 version. I had a couple of "bandwidth exceeded" messages earlier today but that’s not too surprising. Should be fun -)

What Utter Nonsense!

Well, perhaps not. There are grains of truth in here but they’re pretty hard to find and the hyperbolic tone deserves a hyperbolic reaction. Of course there are numerous such articles on the web, including the Oracle equivalent, but this one hits the limits of my patience.

Blogging Success and –deleted–

Ironically, as I wrote my FAQ post on starting a blog, ORACLENERD was blogging his termination.
The reason, his blog.
The coincidence is multi-fold:

The ‘NERD underlines why enterprise people are generally wary of blogs–writing blogs, having blogs written about their company, having people who work at their company write blogs.
The only reason I know about the ‘NERD [...]

ODTUG = AU$51

I’m privileged this year to be invited to the ODTUG conference by Oracle under the Oracle ACE Director program. I look forward to seeing everybody from OOW07 as well as meeting a whole swag of new people.

So why does ODTUG = $51 Australian dollars? This is the cost for me to offset the CO2 generated from my return flight from Perth Australia to New Orleans. Coincidentally 51 is also the number of hours it will take me to get there and back. It’s a trip just on 17500kms, or 10900 miles! It’s just lucky I like learning things about Oracle really.

I hope to see you my readers there too. Feel free to come up and complain about all my spelling mistakes, lousy grammar and overly keen interest in all things JDeveloper.

BEA WebLogic vs OAS/OC4J: application redeployment

I had an interesting chat with Steve Button on the OTN OC4J Forum today that I thought others might be interested in, namely how to deal with the JEE redeployment issue of not bouncing the server and users on a new version of an application. An extract from the post:

“I’m currently researching solutions to JEE application redeployment, or more specifically when you want to update an existing deployed application on a JEE app server, how can you do so with minimal interruption to the users?

From my research on the internet I’ve found two approaches, one with the Oracle OAS camp, and another in the BEA Weblogic camp.”

….for the rest of my post and Steve’s reply, head here.
