two worlds inexorably colliding

Our two part article on migrating a MySQL database to Oracle features in Database Journal in January and February of this year.  Take a look and please post your comments!

Migrating From MySQL To Oracle - Part I

Migrating From MySQL To Oracle - Part II

The second in a series of two articles on Oracle security was features over at Database Journal back in December 2007.  Take a look at Eight Ways To Hack Oracle Part 2.

Our latest newsletter, issue #42 this month, features a discussion on efficiency, and how it can vary so dramatically between resources, or individuals that you hire for work. Take a look at Open Insights 42.

February 2008’s issue of Open Insights talked about the Japanese classic, Roshomon, a movie with three different characters and three dramatically different views of what transpired during a murder.  We apply this phenomenon to consulting, discussing differing views from different players in the drama, and how to hopefully walk the tightrope between them in Open Insights 41.

Just catching up with some of our backlog of postings.  January’s newsletter talked about being self-taught.  Take a look at Open Insights 40.
