Welcome to Log Buffer, the weekly news update of happenings in the database world.
Pythian, a cluster of passionate DBAs, gives freedom to their DBAs to act. Here, with many companies, and with many databases of a different nature with varying requirements the DBAs are kept on fire. DBAs find reasons to come to their job every day, and when they do and learn new things every day, they rise to new heights. With new heights comes sense of achievements which generates happiness and when the DBAs are happy, databases under them touch new heights of mirth and perform beautifully. That is what Pythian is all about in my opinion.
Right now, Galuga has a widget that lists my CPAN distributions. But it’s a boring old static affair that is updated manually. Surely in this age of the Web 2.0, I can do better than that. My first instinct that to go straight for my CPAN author page and extract the information off the HTML
Web applications typically have a bunch of static files that almost never change. For all but the simplest apps, it’s usually a good idea to let the browser know that it can cache and reuse those files, so that we can all save a little bit of bandwidth and get things moving a wee bit faster. For that, we have the HTTP Expires header. Have a look.
Hey ALL! I just got a very good present from Santa :) I Passed 1Z1-536 Oracle Exadata 11g Essentials and 1Z1-515 Data Warehousing 11g Essentials certification exams. How cool it is if small things like these can make you rejoice like a child :) I am still smiling ….
In the latest development of XML::XSS, we can not only create stylesheets as classes, but I’ve introduced a style keyword that makes the syntax much cleaner. Follow me, I’ll show you.
For last few months I was part of the Pythian’s team helping implement Oracle 11gR2 Clusters for different Oracle customers. All the implementations had different requirements and configurations, however, in all cases, the client’s DBAs made the same mistake over and over again. They used sqlplus and lsnrctl utilities to manage (start/stop) databases and listeners. This is totally wrong in the 11gR2 Cluster world. The following commands are just few examples on how you should start/stop Oracle processes
11gR2, lib32 directory no longer exists and 32 bit libraries are no longer provided. Which means that there is no way to use 32 bit Perl to connect to Oracle. BTW. This applies to other 32 bit clients as well. I’ve heard that SAP can’t support 11gR2 for a similar reason. What do we do? Here are the options.
Sorry, no funny nick name for version 1.27 but here is the scoop on it anyway. This version removes ‘PERL_POLLUTE’ and adds in PL_ so it will be fully compatible with Perl 5.13. So in a nutshell 1.27 is a single issue maintenance release.
