Just here as a small side note, some steps to do a XMLDB clean installation without other more unnecessary functionality. Depending on using the Protocol Server or not, also take into account database parameter settings like SHARED_SERVERS (eg. value=5), JAVA_POOL (XQuery and other support), PGA_AGGREGATED_TARGET (DOM validation), SGA_TARGET or MEMORY_TARGET, LARGE_POOL (shared server). My advise would be to not use automatic memory wizards while using XML DB. Although I don’t have a good example anymore at hand, I have seen no or to late response of the database while working with statements that needed a lot of DOM validation in memory. If possible use unicode characterset for your database, AL32UTF8, to avoid future issues within your environment regarding NLS conversion issues.

Everything is “2.0” nowadays so, why not my blog titles…? Things are going fast this year and if you’re not noticing, the things you thought you knew, are obsolete before you know it and in another blink, the world has been re-shaped again… A while ago Oracle announced there intentions to acquire Sun. Shortly after I saw the keynotes from the Google I/O Conference and thought “Wow, this Google Wave has all the ingredients to reshape the “not enterprise world” (at least not yet) but, “at least”, has the potential to directly compete with Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, Oracle Beehive, etc…”. The world is shifting.
I mean, I know, or at least that is, IMHO, what I see what Oracle is doing, is taking on “the war” from the trenches, from the server room. Slowly moving from the server area, to the mid tier, to the front end, towards hardware and Open Source / OS, to application logic / Java onto your desktop and mobile. The only thing Oracle now needs, IMHO, would be a take over like something like, for instance, “Amazon”, to become a second Google. Result instant: “Oracle Docs/Apps in the Cloud” or “Oracle in the Cloud”.
For me and those who are interested, just like the year before , hereby an attempt to find all XMLDB related presentations, workshops and other events during Oracle Open World 2009. I will try to add info, time and days later on (and/or you might here as well) if I find them and/or if they become known.
The Schedule Builder, Content Builder are not the most easy (ahum, performance wise, lets hope they will improve it) tool(s) so…
Hereby the following sessions that can be found via the Content Builder tool, until now:
