LinkedIn “Strangeness”
I noticed some personal LinkedIn “Strangeness” that I wasn’t aware off. Apparently I now am a proud owner of an Apple iPhone (I am not b.t.w.) and I magically add comments without spending any energy (I wish I could)… A new form of “LinkedIn” spam, I guess, I wasn’t aware off. If you actually would …

HOWTO: Partition Binary XML, XMLType Storage
Just to start of the 11gR2 series, he the first small “howto” post regarding the new features in Oracle 11gR2. The 11gR2 database supports now 3 binary XML partitioning options. Partitioning has great advantages if you are dealing with huge volumes of XML data. Those advantages are mainly regarding maintenance, for instance updating/refreshing data, or the local partitioning index that belongs to the specific partition you want to alter.
Binary XML XMLType should be used, most of the time, if you are dealing with content/data driven environments (XML Schema based) or document driven (if XML Schema less). The following 3 options are now available:
- range
- list
- hash
XML Partitioning is based on a column or a virtual column and is defined via the XMLTABLE function / syntax. You are allowed to pass on a XML resultset / fragment into the next nested XMLTABLE syntax, but only once. See the Oracle XMLDB Developers Guides for more information.

Beep – “Not that much of a Method-R Fan”…
I am still laughing about it, its just cool stuff and I hope Alex (Gorbachev) can keep it going somehow. I really enjoyed the small (non-native speaker) “slip-up” from Jacco, although I know (and asked him) that he doesn’t mean it. The interview sessions including the one with Tim (Hall), Chris (Muir) and Jacco (Landlust) …
