Oracle related rants (and lots of off-topic stuff)…
Today’s video is a quick run through the Extended Data Types functionality introduced in Oracle Database 12c Release 1. Why such an old subject? Well, it’s a prerequisite for something I was planning to do a video on, so I thought I better do this first. 🙂
For those that don’t like videos, you can find the same information and more here.
The cameo in today’s video is Martin Klier. 🙂

It’s been a while, but here is a the latest video.
If videos aren’t your thing, you can read the articles here.
The star of this video is Uwe Hesse, who I recorded at UKOUG Tech 15. Yes, I did mean “15”. I have a bit of a backlog to work through. 🙂

Today’s video is a quick demonstration of the Oracle Data Guard Broker.
Having recently written an article on it (here), I though a quick run through might help people see how easy it is. Maybe they will get converted like me. 🙂
The star of this video is Liron Amitzi, whose shopping habits have probably boosted the Canadian economy since his move there. By now I expect all the shelves in all the shops in Vancouver have been emptied. 🙂

PS. I know I kept exiting to reconnect when I could have used CONNECT. I told you I’m new to this broker stuff. 🙂
Today’s video is about CASE expressions and CASE statements.
The guest in today’s video is Scott Wesley, who is currently plugging his new book called Pro jQuery in Oracle Application Express. He will no doubt use the vast quantities of money he makes from the books sales to throw outlandishly extravagant barbecues, because that’s all they do down under. 🙂

Following on from last week’s post, today’s video is about indexing JSON data in Oracle Database 12c.
If videos aren’t your thing, you might want to read these articles, which the videos are based on.
The cameo in this video comes courtesy of Bertrand Drouvot, who was a silent extra in the previous video too. 🙂

Today’s video is a sprint through some of the JSON support in Oracle Database 12c.
If videos aren’t your thing, you might want to read these instead.
The cameo in this video comes courtesy of Yves Colin, who I’ll see again in a couple of weeks at the Paris Province Oracle Meetup. A couple of extras (Bertrand Drouvot and Osama Mustafa) wanted to get in on the act too. 🙂
Cheers

Another video fresh off the press.
If videos aren’t your thing, you can always read the article the video is based on.
The star of this video is Kevin Closson. Kevin’s a really nice guy and has a brain the size of a planet, but you know somewhere in the back of his mind he’s wondering what it would be like to hunt you down, kill you and mount your head above his fireplace. 🙂

Here’s an Easter present for everyone out there. 🙂
If you are not a fan of videos, you can read the article it’s based on here.
The cameo in this video is Mike Hichwa of APEX fame, along with a rather rowdy bunch who try to muscle into the video. See the outtakes at the end.

Here’s another video on my YouTube channel. This one is a quick run through of RDS for SQL Server, a DBaaS offering from Amazon Web Services.
The video was based on this article.
The cameo for this video is Garth Harbach, a former colleague of mine. 🙂
I’ve been ill recently and my voice is pretty shot. The last three videos have all be on AWS RDS, which has very similar setup regardless of which database engine you use. This has been really handy, as I could pretty much reuse one vocal track for all three videos. Not sure if anyone would have noticed, but I felt guilty, so I thought I would confess up front. 🙂
I’m hoping I’ll get my voice back in the next few days so I’ll be able to do something different. 🙂

Here’s another video on my YouTube channel. This one is a quick run through of RDS for MySQL, a DBaaS offering from Amazon Web Services.
The video was based on this article.
If you watch the little outtake at the end you will hear me cracking up with the goofiest while filming Brian ‘Bex’ Huff‘s clip. 🙂
Cheers
