I haven't seen too much about them in the trade press yet, but Oracle did make some important security-related announcements at IOUG yesterday.The most important is the release of Oracle Database Vault, a new option to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 EE, that enables you to restrict access to rows, tables, or entire applications on a user level (based on various business rules). This provides an answer to the "dirty little secret" that most security threats originate from...

Let me begin by saying that the Gaylord Opryland Resort is the biggest hotel I have ever seen, and that includes the monsters along the Vegas strip. The place is so big that they give you a map to your room at check-in. (This is not a joke.)Spent most of Monday in meetings but I did catch Aaron Newman's session on intrusion detection and database auditing. It's surprising to me, even in this age of "compliance," why more companies do not intuitively grasp the importance of...

For those of you who are enjoying Richard Monson-Haefel's simple Ruby on Rails on Oracle tutorial currently published on OTN, Oracle's Tug Grall has taken the concept and run with it in his blog.Richard's premise ("ROR is a great framework if know what you're doing, and only if you're doing greenfield development", in summary) has not been universally accepted by readers, even if the Oracle+ROR concept itself generally has. (See comments in aforementioned post at...
