Oracle Linux developer Subhra Mazumdar has been working on scalability improvements in the Linux scheduler. In this blog post, he talks about some of his latest work. At Oracle, we run big database workloads which are very susceptible to how the OS chooses to schedule threads. Spending too much time in the scheduler to select a CPU can translate to higher transaction latency (at a given throughput) or lower maximum achievable transaction throughput in TPC-C workloads. In this...

Note: this post was updated on 30 january, 2019 to include simplified installation of Oracle Instant Client via Oracle Linux yum server. cx_Oracle enables access to Oracle Database from Python and conforms with the Python database API specification. The module works with Oracle Database 11g and 12c and both Python 2.x and 3.x. We have just released the first RPM builds of cx_Oracle on the Oracle Linux yum server, including the latest cx_Oracle 7.0. You can find them in the...

Recently, we added Oracle Instant Client RPMs to the yum servers inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Those yum servers are accessible from systems within OCI only. Today, I'm pleased to announce we added Oracle Instant Client RPMs to Oracle Linux yum server. That's right, no more manual steps to accept a license before you can download Oracle Instant Client. Simply run yum install from any Oracle Linux system connected to the Internet. How to access Oracle Instant...

Today we added Oracle Instant Client to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) yum mirrors. This makes developing Oracle Database-based apps on OCI a breeze. Previously, installing Oracle Instant Client required either registering a system with ULN or downloading from OTN, each with manual steps to accept license terms. Now you can simply use yum install directly from Oracle Linux running in OCI. See this tutorial on the Oracle Developer blog for an example that connects a...

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime for web and cloud development that continues to grow in popularity. Our Oracle Linux yum server hosts repositories with recent stable builds of Node.js for Oracle Linux 6 and 7. We also include RPM versions of the node-oracledb module to connect Node.js to Oracle Database. In the last few weeks we added Node.js 10 to our repositories. At the time of writing, our Node.js repositories hold: Node.js 10 Node.js 8 Node.js 6 node-oracledb 2.3 This...
