As many bloggers and sites do this time of the year, here is my review of 2014. It was a great year and it was a lot of fun, as well as educational reviewing all the data.
Busiest Day on my Blog:
2014 brought a new high water mark with 282,000 hits!
Meanwhile, uhesse.com gets over 1,000 hits per day on average.
The vast majority of visitors came to uhesse.com via google searches: 163,000
On a distant second place is Twitter: 2,500 visitors came from there
Facebook and LinkedIn each lead 800 visitors to uhesse.com

There is a nice summary at http://collaborate.ioug.org/p/bl/et/blogid=40&blogaid=289 , which I recommend.

For those who don’t read Oracle-l and haven’t found Nikolay Savvinov’s blog, here’s a little note pulling together a recent question on Oracle-L and a relevant (and probably unexpected) observation from the blog. The question (paraphrased) was:
The developers/data modelers are creating all the tables with varchar2(4000) as standard by default “Just in case we need it”. What do you think of this idea?
I received an email a few weeks ago asking me if I would look at a series of three posts on adaptive dynamic sampling in 12c – (part 1, part 2, part 3). I took a note of the topic and URLs, and read through them fairly rapidly, and they seemed to be perfectly reasonable articles describing the authors thoughts, tests, and observations.
