The process for applying a patch on top of the CRS, or now called, the Grid Infrastructure, has changed from what we used to do on 11gR1 and prior releases. The patch I had recently applied was in order to resolve the Oracle bug “11.2.0.1 ONS CORE DUMP or High Resource Usage [ID 988795.1]“. Due to the fact that the patch doesn’t require full downtime and could be applied on a rolling basis, the plan below is to be executed on each node at time.
Good evening and welcome to this weeks edition of Blogrotate. It’s a bit later than usual this week due to client concerns but I could not let this week go by without something.

The “Oracle RMAN 11g Backup and Recovery” book by Robert G. Freeman and Matthew Hart is a resource that can definitely help to acquire the skill. I recently received my early copy of it, and am honored to have contributed to Chapter 5 “Oracle Secure Backup” for it.

Huzzah! It’s official, Perl 5.12 is out! If you haven’t already, check out the changelog! As one might expect, this little piece of news made its way on several blogs, both internal and external to the Perl community.
I have successfully compiled and installed DBD::Oracle on Windows 2008 Server 64bit operating system today.

Here are some instructions that will help with the install.
Here’s a sneak peek at a video matrix — this is all the videos that include Pythian Group employees at the MySQL conference. I hope to have all the rest of the videos processed and uploaded within 24 hours, with a matrix similar to the one below (but of course with many more sessions).
