One of my favorites fixtures of Oracle OpenWorld is the Publishers' Seminar (MC'd by Dr. DBA Ken Jacobs), in which Oracle product management tries to convinces book authors/publishers to write Oracle-related books. For this reason, the presenters often provide fairly detailed information that is intended to educate as well as persuade.At the seminar today, Andy Mendelsohn offered some more details about Oracle Database 11g Beta:If the key theme of 10g was "lowering the cost...

Following the keynote below saw an interesting panel this AM on the topic of Oracle + FOSS (free and open source) software - Ken Jacobs (who directly manages the InnoDB team), Chris Jones from the scripting/PHP team, Mike Olson (former Sleepycat CEO), and Omar Tazi (Oracle Fusion Middleware OSS evangelist), moderated by Monica Kumar (Linux/OSS product marketing).This panel offered a fairly thorough rundown of Oracle's FOSS efforts (which are deep as well as broad at this...

Chuck Rozwat's keynote this AM comprised mostly a "rearview" of significant releases from the Server Technologies division in the last year - Oracle Content Database, Oracle SES, Oracle Database Vault - as well as an overview of pre-existing technologies that bring other "exotic" datatypes into the database, such as interMedia, Spatial, and Mapper. Interestingly, this appeared to be largely pretext for discussing the "growing" (forgive the pun) importance of scalability,...

You will almost certainly read many "old media" accounts of Charles Phillips' Oracle OpenWorld keynote last evening. (Download a podcast containing a keynote cutdown here.) Most of these accounts will characterize it as an explanation of Oracle "acquisition" strategy; more accurately, it was a explanation of Oracle's "integration" strategy.To summarize, Oracle sort of considers the rest of the industry as a "farm team" for the Oracle stack. In other words, when Oracle...

Steve Muench, you rock!In the last few months, Steve has documented an amazing list of "not yet documented" sample applications (in his "Dive into BC4J and ADF" blog) that illustrate use cases and best practices for the Oracle JDeveloper+Oracle ADF combination. Steve has also made several screencasts available that take you through more tactical processes, step by step. (This is how Oracle ACEs are made!)I hope to make better use of the aforementioned screencasting technology...

In my recent post "The Semantic Web Runs on Oracle," about the new virtual press room that offers a "faceted" view of pressroom content on Oracle.com, I mentioned the fact that a another project is underway to provide similar capabilities for OTN content: We call it OTN, Special Edition. In this post, I want to bring you up to speed.Our friends at Siderean Software, our partners in this project, have already absorbed business requirements that we provided a few months ago....

Oracle ACE Jeff Hunter's "Build Your Own Oracle RAC Cluster on Linux and FieWire" is easily one of the most influential pieces of content ever published by OTN, if not by Oracle itself. I personally have received countless emails from users about its value for evaluating RAC (or for just playing around). (Amazingly, customers continue to open TARs against this content despite the bright-red "not supported" disclaimer on every page.)The beauty of this document is that it's...
