When I was confronted with the possibilities of Rulegen it made me wonder: How can these rules be tested. I have some experience using CodeTester but as the name says, it’s a code tester where rulegen builds rules in the database that can actually only be tested using SQL statements (insert, update, delete).

Change has come…
I have been busy with a lot of personal stuff lately. Took my daughters on a short camp with about 60 other girls. Visited a couple of friends, attended some birthday parties, had Steven over for a day, that kind of stuff. That means I didn’t really have the time to write up something for the blog.

Well, for one thing, I got a new laptop from the office. This one is great. It’s get an Intel Centrino Dual Core processor (2GHz) and 3.5 Gb of RAM. Wow, that’s about 3.5 times as much as I used to have ;). Downside of getting a new laptop is having to install all the […]
Read moreBack from holiday…
After a short holiday in Landal Greenparks I am back home again. We enjoyed a nice stay in a small cottage and we did some sightseeing in the 10 days we were in Germany. The kids really enjoyed the swimming pool and the indoor playground. But when we went to see places, they mostly liked what they saw too. […]

Oracle has decided to add Conditional Compilation to Oracle 10g Release 2. As Bryn Llewellyn states in his white paper Conditional Compilation in Oracle Database 10g Release 2: Unusually, but for very compelling reasons, the feature has been made available in patchsets of releases of Oracle Database earlier than the one that introduced the feature. It is […]

Today I read a post by Jeroen van Wilgenburg on the Amis Technology Blog: Why you should never ever copy code – An example of complete chaos. He states that copying code (in the same schema) is almost always a bad idea. I agree with this point of view. In my opinion you should always […]

If you don’t know where to start your with your program, recursion might be an option. I am working on some (perhaps useless) package code to convert an integer into a boolean representation. When I am converting the integer, I don’t know where to start my conversion. If the integer is relatively small and I […]
Read moreA different approach…
Steven Feuerstein has presented a new approach to the development workflow in his best practices presentation he held in The Netherlands last week. He did this presentation about three times for different audiences. I have seen his approach before and I think the idea is pretty good. Don’t know if and how we can use […]
Read moreOPP2007
After being in classes for two days I think OPP2007 was a big success. I have seen some (though not all) good speakers and they provided me with some nice ideas I can probably use in my future work. As soon as we upgrade most of the databases to a more recent version (we are […]
Read moreJust a couple more sleeps…
Before me and my collegues fly out to San Francisco to attend the OPP2007. I am really excited about this, for different reasons. First of all it will be fun to spend some time outside of work with some of my collegues. Second it will be nice to see so many PL/SQL technologists and hopefully […]
