This is a very short blog post to share a good news I learned last week at the great New Zealand Oracle User Group 2013 conference. During a keynote Tom Kyte mentioned that Oracle is going to introduce a Temporary Undo.
The answers to the questions like whether to patch now or wait a little? What quirks are there in that stunning new features? What are the limitations of that fancy index type, any working examples of a particular add-on, are best found in the blogs. This Log Buffer Edition provides you a window to those blogs out there.
There are no rules for blogging. There cannot be any, because you cannot trap the wind in your hands. It’s innovation, it’s creativity, and it’s right out of the core of the technology from the bleeding edge. This Log Buffer drips into that, and brings you some of the finest posts.
How to resolve unusual situation where Oracle was writing trace files into the user directory instead of the usual oracle diagnostic destinations.
When reviewing the performance of some queries, it is sometimes useful to review the sessions statistics for each execution of the query. I had a situation that required to look at these stats so I could see why one query would run fast and sometimes much slower. I wrote a simple wrapper ksh shell script for the query. It saves the session statistics in a table before and after the execution of the query and then prints out the statistics in a pivot report. This turned out to be very handy to me and therefore I chose to share it with the world :)
For only $299 you can access Virtual IOUG Collaborate 13 individually or setup a conference room at your company for the whole team. There will be two tracks broadcasted so if you have demand for both tracks, it make sense to purchase two access passes and setup two tracks broadcasted in parallel in your office so that members of your team can choose individually what to attend.
With real possibilities and opportunities, blogging is getting mature day by day, and so is the technology and its innovations. The combination of both becomes a dazzling medley, which is called as Log Buffer. Enjoy this week’s stunning Log Buffer #311.

I have heard you call… Wanted to sail upon your cloud (control) since 7.3.4… You’ve seen it all, you’ve seen it all… (Paraphrased from Jimmy Buffett’s, “A Pirate Looks at 40”) For a while now, Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) has had an application management component for E-Business Suite (EBS), but it wasn’t…
Spring is a very active conference season for me. I might be going to half a dozen conferences in 3-4 months. That’s a lot of travel but I look forward to all them. The conference I’m probably looking forward the most this year is IOUG Collaborate.
