Daily Roundup of News, Tips and Tricks for 2010-02-05

  • If the My Oracle Support portal is unavailable and you need to log an SR you can call the 800# number (http://www.oracle.com/support/contact.html) and the SR will be logged for you and routed to the appropriate team.
  • The Oracle APEX URL construct can be a bit cryptic for the uninvited, people and spiders alike. Here is a (a, not THE) technique to alleviate this. It is loosely based on a similar solution I made for an ancient Oracle Portal solution quite a few years back. You need an Apache (OHS/OAS or regular Apache) in front for this to work.

  • People have asked over and over about the differences between OAM, OEM, and AMP. Let me try to explain what they are, how they relate to each other, and how they are different.

Likewise, are there some issues that might arise between different databases (e.g. Oracle and SQL Server) that might affect how the columns are handled?
  • While working through SQL Server 2008 Jonathan Lewis came across a few really cute things that he’d like to see in Oracle.
  • Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse makes developing applications for the Spring Framework and/or for Oracle WebLogic Server easier. Here's how.
