Oracle's Flashback technologies claim many performance and recovery benefits. What's in it for you, as a DBA? How can you take full advantage of these Flashback technologies? Join Mike Simpson as he answers these questions (and others) on "Flashback Technology in Oracle 10g Release Two and Oracle 11 ..."

A security attack is an action that compromises the security of information. Different security mechanisms have been developed to detect or prevent security attacks. There are different types of security attacks; interruption, interception, modification, and fabrication. Interruption occurs when somebody blocks the flow of information. In interception an attacker listens to the messages. In modification the message from the source is modified before reaching the destination. In fabrication an unauthentic party inserts spurious messages.

Oracle 10g has introduced many new features under the general umbrella of "flashback technologies" that allow database administrators to quickly recover information at the row, statement, table and database level. Join Mike Simpson as he reviews those new features on 'Flashback Technology in Oracle10g Release One.'

This discussion focuses on 7 key steps to making sure that when we are ready to embark on an ITAM implementation we are considering things that will help to ensure quick start success.

Proper indices are an important means of improving Oracle performance by changing the access paths used to go after data. However, building different indices to test different access paths can be time consuming. Join Mike Simpson as he shows you how to create virtual (segment-free) indices; how to use a hidden feature to direct Oracle to use these virtual indices; and how virtual indices influence the optimizer path on "Virtual Indices in Oracle 10g".

In this program, I explain what IT personnel must be concerned with in meeting regulatory compliance requirements for information. It explains the issues around compliance from an IT perspective and gives recommendations for IT personnel in meeting compliance needs.

GoGogh.com Radio Show looks at the InfiniBand fabric interconnect technology like the blind men looked at the elephant.

Python OO classes have special methods that have specific uses. Most Python programmers know that __init__() is the class constructor. Thistalk will discuss other special class methods and their uses.

The Google Web Toolkit is designed to assist in the creation of user interfaces for flexible, full-featured Rich Internet Applications(RIAs) that utilize Asynchronous JavaScript And XML, or AJAX. However, these Rich Internet Applications may also utilize other third-party libraries and toolkits to provide additional functionality, such as communication with database or integration with other products and tools. Join Mike Simpson as he reviews several of those most useful third-party libraries and toolkits, and discusses how you may use them in your AJAX applications, on "GWT Third Party Libraries."

In the radio program an overview of compliance and how it pertains to storage will be given. What the regulations are attempting to accomplish and how storage systems must meet these regulations are explained.
