  • Oracle Licensing

    Go read the Licensing Consulting blog! I know this is a non-technical post for once, but it’s a very good read for anybody remotely interested in the financials and business methods of Oracle and other Database vendors, to some extent. Good posts to start with are  Oracle ULA contract agreement risk factors and The Oracle…

  • Cloudera connects Netezza and Hadoop

    Cloudera and Netezza Team Up to Bring Hadoop to Customers, so we read. All these connectors being announced makes me think there’s somebody out there with a matrix of RDBMS and NoSQL systems, looking at which combinations don’t have a marketable connector yet so he can be first to market. Via 451 CAOS Theory, and…

  • Tech that is not tech

    Great post by Couchio guy Mikeal Rogers about tech that is not tech. I can relate so much to that – I guess it’s an age or maturity thing. I don’t know if it’s just because I got a little older, or because I started working so much with JavaScript and writing web stuff, but…

  • Small Data SQL Cloud

    The recent releases of SQL Anywhere 12 and SQL Server Compact 4.0 got me thinking about a pet project of mine, basically providing a very cheap SQL persistence layer to fill the gap between Excel / MS Access and the multi-gigabytes typically stored in ‘real’ RDBMS. I’ve been thinking in terms of SQL Clouds such…

  • Oracle CPU July 2010

    Oracle’s Critical Patch Update July 2010 is out, with two easy to exploit DoS vulnerabilities in the Database network stack (although one on Windows only), and one critical vulnerability in the OLAP component – let’s just hope that this one opens the DB for attack if OLAP is actually linked in… because I guess most…

    Microsoft formally announced its Windows Azure Platform Appliance today, as TechCrunchIT reports. Dell, eBay, Fujitsu, and HP intend to deploy the appliance in their datacenters to offer new cloud services. While that’s nice to know, I’m much more interested to hear by when we can get our own appliance, and what the configuration sizes and…

  • Oracle CPU July 2010 Pre-Release

    Oracle’s Critical Patch Update Pre-Release Announcement – July 2010 arrived online, and the nice folks at Integrigy already published their standard CPU pre-release analysis. I’m a bit worried about the number of highly critical Database alerts, four out of six vulnerabilities are remotely exploitable without authentication. Hope that’s just on Windows (as was often the…
