I have embarked on a new adventure. I am sailing the waters of agile development, specifically scrum. Scrum is not an acronym. It comes from the rugby term.
My new environment is a fairly mature scrum …

Here is another very cool looking job. Looks like the mid-west is hopping. Plenty of database (especially architect) type openings.
Location: Indianapolis/Plainfield, IN
Employment Type: Direct/Permane…

First of all, I would like to thank you for sharing this helpful article. I am doing my BSc Computer science(second year). I wanted to know more about oracle.I am thinking of getting a certificate in Oracle course; But I’m confused in which category? I would be happy if you would suggest me something! As i will be learning SQL and database in my third year, so I think it would boost my carrier too. If I’m wrong then pls correct me.

Thank you,

Prajit Nair.

That was excellent!

I was having a little trouble when I was setting p_table_owner to a schema other than my own (I even have DBA and the select on all_tab_columns was successful).

Statement:

v_lcr.set_value(‘new’, ‘first_name’…

was throwing that ‘first_name’ did not exist in the LCR.

Once I copied the table to my own schema, works great!

Good for now – exactly what I needed – trying to develop the DML_Handlers before Streams is up and running.

So Cisco has decided to enter the server market. They talk about unified computing, i.e. Unified compute management. They want to be the company that provides the oversight of data, network and compute power in your network.
I really thought we would be talking about vmware in that role by now.
I’m not sure that cisco has [...]

Thank you very much for sharing the information of the book,in fact i was depressed by SOA..when boss told me that the new project needed SOA,in my mind,there is a big question…why ?what and how? boss said to me,you must designed it,and big questions appeared…but i cant say that boss,i dont know how to do it and why it is needed… so i searched much information about SOA,in fact,this is not a software or ide,just a thought… later i went to a meeting about SOA,and learned something

1.w

hehe,it is very interesting,i am a coder and i found it is also for developers..

1.Sit around writing or reading the blogs until the users found an application Lack of functions. Don’t add a function until someone besides you notice.

2.Ask for all permissions from DBA even you dont need it.

When a DBA asks you a question,just tell him the application needs.

3.Explain to users and management that performance issues are always caused by network or database.

Turns out that it was less than 1% of the work force. In this economy, I think they are doing a good job keeping people employed.

Of course, that doesn’t help those who were laid off. Hopefully, they all find jobs soon.

Wow. I’ve been toying around the idea of learning Oracle. Have read few manuals and tried my hands on 9i. But then later I moved on to .Net and now I’m back to Oracle and am looking to improve my hands on 10g. And after going thtrough your blog, it’s kinda motivating and guiding. Nice posts. Thanks a lot Lewis.

Good point. The jobs I would really be aware of will probably all be in the US. If a recruter wanted to post a cool non-US job, I would do so but I don’t know any non-US recruiters.
