Not working for EDB anymore

LewisC — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 17:58:00 +0000

Well, I am no longer working for EnterpriseDB. It was fun while it lasted but it’s over so I am moving on. I found a new job, locally. It’s pure Oracle and I will get to use Real Application Clusters in a production environment. That’s something I haven’t done in the past so I am looking forward to it. It’s also a java, .net and Oracle Forms shop and they are doing some interesting things… Read the rest!

Oracle Security: A Definition in Plain English, Part 4

Lewi — Thu, 28 Apr 2005 09:56:00 +0000

This is part 4 of a 3 part series. Heh I guess this qualifies as a little lagniappe on security and audit. I could have called this Oracle Audit but I already spoke about audit in Part 3. I just decided to continue on in the series.

This is a brief, technical discussion about the implementation of audit in Oracle 10g. I’ll quickly show how to turn on standard audit and how to see some… Read the rest!

Oracle Security: A Definition in Plain English, Part 3

Lewi — Sun, 17 Apr 2005 09:58:00 +0000

Regardless of any regulations you are required to meet you can implement a security and audit scheme that will cover you for most, if not all, eventualities. Having good security and auditability should be desirable regardless of regulations. It protects your business.

In parts 1 and 2, I covered the security side of it. So what do I mean by Audit? Well, auditing is knowing what’s going on in your environment. Future research requirements, accountability,… Read the rest!

TOTD, What is a DBA?

Lewi — Tue, 12 Apr 2005 09:43:00 +0000

Warning: Personal Soapbox Approaching.

I was reading a newsgroup discussion and the topic of DBAs and their usefulness/trivialization came up (yet again). This topic seems to show up at one time or another on every Oracle discussion board.

Whether I agree or not with any of the things said in the discussion doesn’t really matter. It got me thinking about the topic and I have a different perspective to the question. My… Read the rest!
