We’ve had another great year. Multiple product updates, 127 posts, and LOTS of questions asked and answered. Since it’s that time of year, here’s your, ‘lazy writer, popular posts’ update 🙂
Based on overall site traffic in 2014, your favorite posts from this year are:
10. Introducing the Oracle Database 12c VirtualBox OTN Image

I am looking for all your blogs posts related to sql developer reports & data mining…Really enjoy your blog….Is this possible to come here in our office to train our team on these topics? we are in Raleigh NC.
I’d love to come see you.
Reporting is one of my favorite topics, and a very much under-utilized feature in the tool. My email is [email protected] if you want to set something up.
Thanks Jeff. Best wishes for 2015. Keep on going with the good stuff on your blog!!
