The Communities Exchange conference wraps up today. I spoke yesterday and then bailed to meet a previous commitment today.
This was an interesting conference, unlike any I’ve attended. For starters, there were only 45 attendees, small by design. Also a surprise to me, most of the 45 attending were from out-of-state, including several from overseas, e.g. [...]
According to this post on blogs.oracle.com, the excitement level over Exadata Storage Server is increasing. It seems the Philadelphia Area Oracle Users Group is featuring Mark Rittman to discuss the future of Oracle BI/DW architecture. There will also be a presentation on Oracle Database Machine and Exadata Storage Server. I’m glad to hear interest is [...]
We had a meeting yesterday about the performance of an application across the WAN to the more remote regions of the world.
The upshot of the meeting was that the latency and bandwith of the network was fine but that the client-server network communications could be optimised.
My initial reaction was that the main influence was arraysize/fetchsize, [...]

Today was the last leg of my JDeveloper 11g Masterclass sponsored by OTN and part of the AUSOUG Gold Coast conference series.
The 1 day masterclass has run around Australia, seeing the largest class yet at the Gold Coast. It was a bit of rush last week between AUSOUG conferences to update the JDev 11g TP material to the 11g production release, but it was important to show the students the latest release.
I’m certainly happy with the result, here’s some of the feedback:
- Excellent course without the Oracle marketing spin!
- Awesome! better, quicker than a drawn out 5 day bore.
- Perfect for Forms to JDeveloper presentation overview. Pretty impressive stuff.
- Enjoyable & informative. Good overview and reasonable overview of the tool.
- Great overview of new features.
- Yes it was a good overview to what JDeveloper/ADF Faces combination can do.
- The course satisfied my requirements: spot on!
- Chris Muir was excellent, thoughtful and knowledgeable.
- Very good overall overview of Oracle JDeveloper 11g. Enjoyed the workshop today.
I’d like to thank OTN for sponsoring the event series, thanks to AUSOUG for holding the series and organising the logistics (especially AUSOUG’s General Manager Burke Scheld), and finally thanks to the delegates for signing up in the first place. It was great to meet you all and share my passion.
Jeff Hunter’s post this morning reminds me of a recent situation with a logon trigger designed to limit direct access to a production database.
The logon trigger in question was designed to stop application users using their username and password via tools like Toad to access the database directly and issue their own queries. It did [...]
I was part way through watching The Incredible Hulk on the flight to New Zealand when my Individual On-Demand System crashed and restarted. I watched with geeky pleasure as Linux booted up. I couldn’t tell the exact version, it went too quick, but I saw “Red Hat” in the text and there was a picture [...]
