Oracle Priority Service Infogram for 14-NOV-2012


Oracle VM


PeopleSoft

Over at Jim's PeopleSoft Journal we have a posting on Convert Byte Array into String. I always send mine out to the dry cleaners, but I guess you could do this yourself.

Utilities

Dropbox has just reached 100 million users. Several of them even pay money. And it is starting to become a major utility and infrastructure component. As discussed in this interesting article on using Dropbox for syncing data at ZDNet: Dropbox is everywhere, but not, apparently, on most servers.

Newsletters

You can never have enough of them, or at least that’s what we newsletter editors think. Some of the blogs sent out notices on the latest issues:



RDBMS

From the Twitterverse (it’s like the metaverse, but a lot noisier), a link to this thread with some of the authorities on Oracle internals discussing LargePages. (May require Google account to access thread). 

At Upgrade your Database - NOW! some wisdom on Migration of a database from 32bit to 64bit.

Performance

The Pythian blog discusses an oft encountered problem: Case study: How to return a good SQL execution plan from 10g days after 11g migration?

RMAN

Yuri over at Pythian got a really good technical explanation of an aspect of RMAN and shared it in his blog, so I thought I'd share that with Infogram readers: RMAN: Corrupt block … let’s re-read … nope it all good.

Hyperion

Another in the series: Stupid Programming Tricks #14 -- SET EMPTYMEMBERSETS ON doesn't work they way you might think, at Cameron's Blog For Essbase Hackers.

Oracle Appliance


…And Finally

Some notes on privacy and the lack thereof at ZDNet:  Yes, the FBI and CIA can read your email. Here's how.
