Dateline, Antwerp: The results are in from the RAD Race at JavaPolis, in which two-member teams race to build a working J2EE application for a given business problem within 12 hours. Kinda like "Iron Chef" for geeks.Here's the rub: the jury settled on a three-way tie for the prize, and of that winning group, all three teams used Oracle JDeveloper 10g as their IDE and two of the three teams used Oracle ADF as their framework. One of the three teams was representing Oracle...

Oracle Database 10g Express Edition: Free, as in Beer

This is a huge day for developers: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE, for short), a no-frills edition of the Oracle 10g database, is here, and it's free. Yeah, I said "free" -- to download, develop, deploy, and distribute. (Database size, CPU, and memory restrictions apply.)Just as important, XE is easy to download (about 150MB) and install.So if you're a .NET, Java, or PHP developer who wants to plug into Oracle's respective development stacks without...

Yesterday at the Zend/PHP Conf I had the fairly rare opportunity to see Marc Andreessen, who recently became a member of Zend's board, wax poetic in person.His main point: Software development is at a "crossover point," the likes of which we haven't seen since Java's emergence in 1995. Developer tools and languages are now being designed/continuously engineered to meet the needs of programmers, not the needs of machines. His prime examples are Java itself and PHP, the former...

On this, the opening day of the 2005 Zend/PHP Conference, OTN unveils its most significant PHP project yet: The Oracle+PHP Cookbook.This cookbook, which will roll out over the course of several months, offers a huge range of basic-to-advanced "recipes" for combining the robustness of the Oracle infrastructure with the speed and flexibility of PHP in Web applications. It's a perfect complement to the free Zend Core for Oracle environment (GA as of last week) in fact. Many...

Why does my prius hybrid only get 18.7MPG ??

We just got back after driving the wife's prius to Canada and was very surprised to find that we were only averaging around 18.7 miles per gallon of fuel on the trip !!It reminded me of the Oracle DBA who was shocked that the new application that was running on the very latest and greatest version of the database was taking hours to run. It turned out that the new application had introduced some poorly written sql that was not using some of the performance features in the...
