With Oracle Open World in the offing, Oracle and MySQL bloggers and professionals are flocking to either San Fransisco or to their blogs to relish this annual medley of technologies under one roof. This Log Buffer Edition covers that and much more in Log Buffer #240.

Integrated and Turnkey solutions are the name of game these days. Solutions based on software, hardware, storage, and networking tightly knitted in one box with the option of customization are shaping the future. Oracle, once again leading the pack has come up with a groundbreaking appliance and blogs are buzzing with it and so is this Log Buffer Edition. ODA and various sizzling news from SQL Server and MySQL are adorning this Log Buffer #239.
Sometimes clients ask us to implement scripts that change objects in their schemes. In order to prevent the situation when these scripts hung just because some, or several, objects are pinned. Here are two simple procedures that can help to check what we will get during our maintenance.
Today was a busy day in the news for Pythian, as Oracle released Oracle Database Appliance. Pythian is now offering fixed-price services to migrate to ODA and support it on an ongoing basis. Small and midsized business can leverage Pythian’s Oracle expertise and take full advantage of the cost and performance advantages of ODA.
