Blogging is Dead

Maybe I'm in the minority, but it seems that blogging has taken a sharp nose dive in terms of frequency. I monitor a bunch of Oracle-related and other blogs, and the traffic is definitely down. There were also few blog re-caps of ODTUG - which is in stark contrast to years past, where the coverage has been extensive. The few blogs that were updated were brief and light on real content.

So, the question must be asked: is blogging a thing of the past?

So Funny

The photos from the last ODTUG conference in Monterey are online available.

It was really good seeing all my friends again. These conferences are really like family reunions - just without the fights ;).

Here I am talking to Joel Kallman and Marc Sewtz.

DBMS_SCHEDULER examples

May be interesting to some of you which haven't had the time testing and working with the DBMS_SCHEDULER. I collected some examples to show what is possible with that amazing tool.

DBMS_SCHEDULER is an internal Oracle package (since Version 10g) which provides database driven jobs.
It's divided into 3 parts:

  • Time schedule part - dbms_scheduler.create_schedule
  • Program declaration part - dbms_scheduler.create_program
  • Job (conflation) part -dbms_scheduler.create_job

Examples of the dbms_scheduler.create_schedule part:

ExtJS navigation tree

Hi folks,

I added an ExtJS navigation tree to my example application. To get the JSON data out of the database I created a small package which is dynamically creating this data string on every page load.

Take a look at the updated source code: AAW - ExtJS navigation tree

I got some request about the application installation file (application source code). So I decided to publish it to everybody how asks for it via email: tobias-arnhold@hotmail.de

In fact I already have a lovely view of the “Mothership” from my hotel [...]
