DBA Toolbar is Blowing Up

I think we hit a nerve: since its release on Nov 19, the Oracle DBA Toolbar is the seventh most popular OTN download (thus far) - and we haven't even touched the Linux community yet (via the FireFox extension in the works). Well over 10,000 downloads thus far.

I'm happy to say that we have a miniscule number of reported problems, but it is possible that your local configuration will adversely affect the installation process or runtime. (Your mileage will vary.)

Oracle+Ruby on Rails: Yummy

Oracle Database XE + Ruby on Rails is an increasingly tasty combination. A whole slew of new content re: this combo is forthcoming from OTN, with the first being the "Oracle+Ruby on Rails FAQ" - an excellent introduction.

Look for future articles about the Active Record persistence engine - of particular interest to those developing RoR apps on top of Oracle - as well as the use of Ruby scripts in conjunction with Oracle.

Add to recent articles such as "Ruby on Rails on Oracle: A Simple Tutorial" and "HR Schema on Rails", and we have the makings of a new Developer Center on OTN (coming in 2007).
