First Day at Microsoft, the Satya Way

Submitted by dbakevlar on Mon, 2018-06-11 20:55

So I’ve finally crawled my way back out of the hole I dug myself in this last month.  The house is empty, the 5th wheel is ready for us to move into and I’m now in Redmond, doing my NEO, (New Employee Orientation.)

I swear this is all I see in my head every time I hear “NEO” </p /> </p></div> <div class=

Introducing SQLdb360: merging eDB360 and SQLd360, while rising the bar to community engagement

Submitted by mauro.pagano on Mon, 2018-06-11 15:00

Today, we are very happy to release SQLdb360, a new tool that merges together eDB360 and SQLd360, under a single package

Tools eDB360 and SQLd360 can still be used independently, but now there is only one package to download and keep updated. All the new features and updates to both tools are now in that one package.

The biggest change that comes with SQLdb360 is the kind invitation to everyone interested to contribute to its development. This is why the new blended name and its release format.

Change Data Capture from Oracle with StreamSets Data Collector

Submitted by Franck Pachot on Mon, 2018-06-11 13:21

With this trend of CQRS architectures where the transactions are streamed to a bunch of heterogenous eventually consistent polyglot-persistence microservices, logical replication and Change Data Capture becomes an important component, already at the architecture design phase. This is good for existing products vendors such as Oracle GoldenGate (which must be licensed even to use only the CDC part in the Oracle Database as Streams is going to be desupported) or Dbvisit replicate to Kafka. But also for Open Source projects.

dbms_random

Submitted by Jonathan Lewis on Mon, 2018-06-11 08:31

In a recent ODC thread someone had a piece of SQL that was calling dbms_random.string(‘U’,20) to generate random values for a table of 100,000,000 rows. The thread was about how to handle the ORA-30009 error (not enough memory for operation) that is almost inevitable when you use the “select from dual connect by level <= n” strategy for generating very large numbers of rows, but this example of calling dbms_random.string() so frequently prompted me to point out an important CPU saving , and then publicise through this blog a little known fact (or deduction) about the dbms_random.string() function.

Creating complete synthetic test data sets from production data

Submitted by morten on Fri, 2018-06-08 18:00

How easy could it be to generate a complete set of test data
from existing tables? To make sure that data looks like production
but in no way is a copy or scramble of production data. Instead it
is synthetically created, to look like what your production data looks
like. Same types, same data domain, same coherence between values, same data distribution
and also maintaining the relationships (foreign keys) between all the tables
simulating.

Massive Delete

Submitted by Jonathan Lewis on Fri, 2018-06-08 09:14

The question of how to delete 25 million rows from a table of one billion came up on the ODC database forum recently. With changes in the numbers of rows involved it’s a question that keeps coming back and I wrote a short series for AllthingsOracle a couple of years ago that discusses the issue. This is note is just a catalogue of links to the articles:
