Yesterday I made my first presentation ever at the annual Hotsos conference. The topic: “All of the Performance Tuning Features in SQL Developer.” It went pretty well, and I’d like to share those slides now with y’all: Tuning & Diagnostics Features in Oracle SQL Developer from Jeff Smith Easier to Read Autotrace Execution Plans Apparently I said ‘explain plan’ too many times in the session…EXECUTION Plans can be quite big. And the problematic bits generally…
Everyone likes pictures. I would never create a report that didn’t have at least one chart in it. You just can’t risk busy people glancing at your reports and not coming away with the key information you’re trying to impart. We have lots of chart types in SQL Developer – 50+ in version 4.0. But we also have gauges, and I’ve talked about them before. But what about dials? So we can graph numbers, but…
Hi, I’m Jeff Smith. You might remember be from such self-help videos as “Code is Self-Documenting”, and “We Let the End Users Test Our Code.” Thanks for humoring me as I pay tribute to one of my favorite comedians, Phil Hartman as Troy McClure on The Simpsons…but I digress. Starting this week (Wednesday, February 25th!) the Development Tools Team will be hosting a weekly webcast. We will show you things that we think you might…
Kellyn PotVin-Gorman and I have delivered a social media talk at the RMOUG Training Days Conference two years running now. We have fun doing the presentation, because we have fun being active on social media. We want you to not miss out on what we get out of it every day. This morning I saw a tweet/blog post from Oracle ACED Scott Spendolini of Oracle APEX fame… Screaming at Each Other http://t.co/Dqsw4xwYmR #orclapex— Scott Spendolini…
One of the coolest bits of The Matrix, was the ability for the main characters to ‘download’ new skills or objects into their virtual reality. Like Neo could learn Kung-Fu with a simple button click. Today, I want all of you to take the (Oracle) Red Pill, and download your SQLDev knowledge pack. These are things that I see people doing ‘the hard way.’ After just a few minutes or reading (ha ha, more like…
This is a similar version of the content I presented to some internal folks here at Oracle last week. I thought you might enjoy it as well. I’ve ‘optimized’ it for Slideshare – meaning that there are NO animated GIFs, which is sad, but it does read better this way. There’s a YouTube video inside that does have some live demo if you prefer to watch instead of read. Let us know if you have…
We put out a HUGE update for our new SQL*Plus-style command line interface for Oracle Database. Forget how to install it, or how to connect: see the movie! Things that people really like to do in SQL Developer is pull up the object browsers to quickly see the things that a simple DESC doesn’t show. Things like comments primary keys indexes stats So SQLcl has two new commands for you. INFORMATION (INFO) Like I said,…
Today’s question: Please let me know how can I represent relation between view and base table in ER diagram created using sql datamodeler version4. So I know what the person is getting at here. They want to see the dependencies. Generally speaking, there are no actual relations between views and tables. Exception: you CAN define foreign key constraints on VIEWS, but I digress. Skip to the end if you want to see how that works…
The Cloud! You may have heard a few things about Cloud services and Oracle over the past few years. What I’m going to talk about today is our Database Schema Service offering. It’s what it sounds like, pretty much. On a kick-butt Exadata box, you get your own schema in a database that we take care of for you. The data dictionary has been modified to make any cross-schema contamination impossible. So you just see…
If you weren’t paying attention over the Christmas/Winter break, it’s very possible that you haven’t heard about our new project. You can find it on the SQL Developer version 4.1 Early Adopter download page.. If you’re not into reading so much, we have 7 or 8 blogs on the subject out there, you can just watch the movie. In ten minutes I cover: what is this thing? what can it do that SQL*Plus can’t? some…
