Oracle XMLDB Repository Events, IMHO, was one of the coolest functionalities introduced in Oracle 11.1.

This story is long overdue and no its NOT about the Oracle Database 11g Database File System (DBFS). Its about an “undocumented” NFS functionality that, maybe someday, will be serviced by the XMLDB XDB Protocol Adapter. This post is “long overdue” because the actual attempts to try to figure it out were done during the …

Michael McLaughlin had written last week some nice small blog posts on XML DB. I couldn’t resist to see if I could make this one easier… The package DBMS_EPG is sole based on the xdbconfig.xml file, which is the configuration file for the XML DB Protocol Server, which is not, by the way, an Apache …
