Oracle APEX – Returned, Reloaded, and Ready

kevin.landonIndustry TrendsLeave a Comment

It’s a well known and established fact that one of the only constants in life is change

It wasn’t that long ago (it seems) that I was asked to look at Oracle APEX and Oracle XE for work, and devise a tutorial for it’s installation and beginner use. It has been almost a year since then, and I find myself revisiting it after my last project. In that short amount of time there have been a few rather large changes. While Oracle XE is still at 10g, where it was originally, the APEX system itself has undergone 2 fairly large updates, going from the 3.0.1 version I orginally was working with to, 3.1, and now 3.2 being the current version.

Upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.2 is supposed to be smooth, but we shall test and see for ourselves.

Oracle Rename Table – Example Syntax and Dependencies

Renaming a table in Oracle is simple. Following is the generic Oracle table rename syntax: 1 ALTER TABLE current_table_name RENAME TO new_table_name;alter table current_table_name rename to new_table_name; In practice, you might realize you left off a prefix that you are using as a naming standard. Changing the table name can be accomplished with the following example syntax: 1 ALTER TABLE employee RENAME TO dw_employee;alter table employee rename to dw_employee; If the table is already in use, I recommend that you review custom code, Oracle packages, stored procedures, and any other references to the table. You can use tools like TOAD … Read More

Oracle Database vs Sun MySQL

AshokIndustry Trends, Technical TipsLeave a Comment

Well, this is a topic we have reviewed numerous times over the years for projects and customers. The fact is, like most important decisions, picking a winner is based mostly on your specific needs. Of the many aspects we review, we will discuss one line of thought in this article.

If there is in-house expertise in Oracle, and management is happy with the skills, productivity of existing staff, and license fees, stick with it. I don’t know many — actually, I don’t know any — CIOs or Directors in IT Management that have been berated for choosing Oracle as an enterprise-wide database platform.

That said, if the strategic decision to use Oracle database for all purposes hasn’t been made, MySQL is worth a very serious look, especially for …
