Update (July 2): Archived Webcast is now available from this page.Oracle President Charles Phillips has just completed his introduction of the Webcast, characterizing the BEA deal as "not just another acquisition" and explaining the reasons why: including the facts that BEA was a leader and pioneer in the middleware area, because it offered a complementary product set/architecture, and because of its strength in key markets, especially China. But here's the key take-away: All...

Many, many thanks to the Oracle Asia R&D Center Team that worked closely with us to get the blogs.oracle.com migration successfully completed. If you're wondering, BOC now runs on Six Apart's Movable Type Enterprise (v. 1.5) on top of Oracle Content DB. (Upgrade to MTE4 planned for the near future.)You'll note that we also got a new aggregator out of the deal. This is great! (Oracle bloggers, start tagging your entries - based on the number of "identity"-related tags I see,...

The Oracle ACE presence at ODTUG Kaleidoscope could not have been more productive. I really appreciate the time (and in some cases long travel time) rendered by the 40+ Oracle ACEs in attendance.The Oracle ACE bling that the ODTUG Board took it upon themselves to provide is priceless; it is simultaneously the silliest and greatest thing I have ever seen:Model: Dan MorganModel: Dan NorrisYou can't beat that with a stick, as they say.

The Jim Gray Tribute on the UC Berkeley campus last weekend was instructive to me in several ways. First of all, it made me realize how relatively small the "database science" community really is. Had you vaporized Zellerbach Hall at 10am last Saturday, you would have set data management back a hundred years. To me, it seemed everyone there knew each other from some past academic or business relationship.Second, once cannot overemphasize the magnitude of Jim Gray's...

If you're a D2D/A2A blogger and you've been using Windows Live Writer to compose and manage your posts, migrating old posts to a new blog can be a heck of a lot easier than, say, removing your own tonsils.

This allows you to very easily cross-post, that is, publish a single post to multiple blogs. That...
