A while ago, DOAG.tv interviewed me about Oracle’s Standard Edition and database system migrations. The material was published just recently, so I’d like to share it. Enjoy, and if there are questions, just let me know! http://www.doag.org/home/aktuelle-news/article/oracle-database-standard-edition-versus-enterprise-edition.html I have to add a corrigenda: SE RAC is not – at least not at the moment – limited […]

Visited Germany’s first Spatial Database, Size 26 kiloStones
Last week, I had the chance to visit Bavaria’s (and so also Germany’s) oldest Spatial Database. It’s buried deep below Munich, and contains all the geo information about Bavaria in scale 1:5000 and some in 1:2500. It was introduced in 1808 and was in use until 1950. That’s also the current state of the data. […]
New German Linux Forum (forum.linux-talk.de)
In the last weeks, some folks were busy to build a new German Linux Forum “forum.linux-talk.de”, since the predecessor was systematically ruined by the commercial owners. Especially Jean (wdp) and Hendrik (Nilpferd) invested much time and money into building the new environment. So the new forum is completely free of ads and commercials, and the […]
Performance is rarely an accident (Deutsch)

It was obviously relevant for our internal developers, so he unhesistantly granted me permission to reproduce some of his ideas for us. Cary, thank you very much! Here you can see, what I made out of the topic, mostly for […]
Oracle 12c InMemory – don’t stop thinking about performance

InMemory option promises a big advantage for OLAP-like work loads by keeping table contents in a columnar in-memory structure. InMemory is not new, they did that for decades, but the interesting part is “columnar”. There’s much writing about that on […]

Status Blog
Hello, long time no see? Many things have changed here, so my time for blogging was limited. Together with Benedikt Nahlovsky, I founded “Performing Databases“, a company to offer top-class database know-how combined with flexibility and agility. Doing all the formal requirements, and pushing business into life absorbed much of my free brain space. In […]
