0 Currently I am attending the “Schema less data management using SQL/JSON” session during Oracle OpenWorld. This session demonstrated the new upcoming feature (=not in the current release) in the 12c database which supports JSON data handling in the database. That is, of course, with the nowadays common disclaimer, it probably […]
0 0 XMLIndex support for Hash Partitioning is now also supported in Oracle 12c. In Oracle 11 there was already support for RANGE and LIST partitioning, but not yet for HASH partitioning. Some examples for the later two:
0 0 There is a new default in town. Mark my words, you will encounter the following during your 12c life-cycle… 😉 From the Oracle 12c Reference manual PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT: PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT specifies a limit on the aggregate PGA memory consumed by the instance. There is no difference in behavior between PGA_AGGREGATE_LIMIT being […]
0 0 New in Oracle 12c and one of the big new features in XMLDB is the XQuery Full Text functionality and, as mentioned in the post about XQuery Update, is the official W3C standard to handle unstructured pieces of XML content. The XQuery Full Text and XQuery Full Text Index extends […]
0 0 New, new…? No, not really new, XQuery Update (W3C standard/draft 2011) was already implemented in 11.2.0.3.0, but is now officially also announced. Besides the XQuery Full Text support (XQFT for short, W3C standard/draft 2011), this is one of the big new features in Oracle 12c. With this update XQuery functionality, […]
0 0 A small enhancement, but what a golden nugget! At least that’s what I think. 😉 It is now possible in Oracle 12c to export data via a view. I my realm, Oracle XMLDB, that can be an interesting feature to export stored XML content in a relational format and import […]
0 0 The new Database Express or DB Express database utility is different from the former DB Console. It is based on flash and “built-in” the database. To give you a small overview (sneak peek) into this great new tool for, for example, database performance tuning, hereby some pictures to create some […]
0 0 Oracle DB Express is the new replacement for Oracle DB Console in the Oracle 12c database. Here are some first steps to get started. Oracle DB Express makes use of what is called the “XDB Protocol Server”, which among others supports the Oracle APEX standalone PL/SQL Gateway. For people who […]
0 0 Is this one of my highlights? No not really, but it is a remarkable one. Oracle XMLDB functionality is now mandatory and can not be uninstalled. As mentioned in the new feature section of the Oracle XMLDB Developers Guide for Oracle 12c: Oracle XML DB is now a mandatory component […]

0 0 It has been a while that I have been attending Hotsos, although that is how it feels. In 2011 I flew to Hotsos to see, among others presentations from Maria Colgan, but I ended up being sick the whole week while learning on my hotel room to enjoy American TV. […]

0 0 Vorig jaar heb ik behoorlijk wat vragen gekregen over of er een tool was, een methodiek, om BAG data van het Nederlandse Kadaster in een Oracle database te krijgen voor allerlei doeleinden. Basisregistraties Adressen en Gebouwen (BAG) data wordt onder andere uitgeleverd door het Kadaster in XML bestanden waarin alle […]

0 0 For me it all started out very stressful. I overslept yesterday, or the day before, and noticed that it already was 08.25 AM. My flight would leave at 09.50, so the rush to the airport was very painful. Seriously hope I won’t have too many speeding tickets in my attempt […]

0 0 Currently busy for a client to install and configure Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c for database and more administration across the globe. These environments were configured and setup by a different 3rd party so not always follow our wishes and administration guidelines. You can imagine that such environments are also a […]

This post will […]
0 0 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, […]
0 0 UKOUG 2011 is nearby and one of the coolest things in Oracle 11g and onwards is, IMHO, a functionality called XDB Repository Events. Most of you probably know that based on XMLDB functionality in the database, the database also can be used in a File server kind of way by […]
0 0 I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Method-R Profiler and had a test drive with it. So first of all what is it? As you might expect a profiler, a profiler for Oracle performance problems. The tool makes use of Oracle’s trace facilities. If you have a […]
