Last Thuesday, Mark Drake, Senior Product Manager and I, delivered a good presentation during UKOUG in Birmingham about how to use your database, via XMLDB functionality, as a file server. The presentation demonstrated as well how you could extent the “standaard” file server (aka your database) functionality with features like, WebDAV driven ACL Security and XDB Repository Events, which enable you to automatically trigger event driven actions based on, for example, file naming, content, creator or others.

You can find the presentation on Slideshare or enjoy it here.

During the demonstration in the second half of the presentation, we demonstrated how you can automatically consume the EXIF and KML information embedded in pictures to use it with the Google Earth API. All the code used for this Google Earth demonstration, and more, can be found on the Oracle XMLDB Sample Code page.

Have fun trying it out and if there any questions, post them on the OTN Oracle XMLDB forum.

Weird ADF 11g requirement addressed with left outer join and modern SQL join syntax

The functional requirement was a little unusual. The page should either show all master-records or – depending on the value of a parameter – it should show exactly one master-record joined with exactly one detail-record. The use case was valid – that was exactly the functionality that was required. In […]
