Hi all,
I am thinking about becoming an Oracle developer. I have experience with
Centura Team Developer AKA SQLWindows, this is a front-end developer
environment for a variety of of database servers: Oracle, MS SqlServer,
Informix etc.
What is it like to work with the Oracle developer environment?
Is it nice or rather ok or so-so, or do you love it? For instance, does it
have a nice debugger, is it intuitive, logical, effective, productive etc?
Can anyone share his/her experience?
Thanks in advance
Corrado

Oracle Developer is like any other mickeymouse point/click tool. It may be easy
to use, but you - the programmer - lose as you no longer truely understand the
technology you are using...

Depends entirely on what yiou are trying to develop and what language you
are trying to use to develop.
Oracle Developer is the common name for a SUITE of products, that includes
- Oracle Forms; (a forms builder - think PowerBuilder, VB but in PL/SQL)
- Oracle Reports; (a report builder - think Crystal Reports)
- Oracle JDeveloper; (a Java IDE - think Eclipse)
- Warehouse Builder; (an ETL builder - think
- Oracle Designer; (a CASE tool - think Erwin and other modelling tools)
- Oracle Discoverer; (ad hoc query administrator - think Informatica)
- Oracle SCM; (source code config mgt - think CVS, Safe Source)
IN all cases, Oracle provides a decent and usable environment. Whether it
is for you depends on your brain - as with any GUI environment, your
comfort level depends on whether you CAN think in the same way the
developer of the enviuronment thinks.
Whether it is superior, or even functional, for an individual is often a
matter of religion.
I fully expect flames on this from all sorts of [explicative deleted]
people who have reasons for not using a specific component of the suite -
usually religious ravings that do not take into account that things
change/improve over time.

That's part of the Programmer kit, not the Developer kit.

Hi experts of Oracle,
I used Oracle for small queries, but now I have a task to create
WEB-based report by getting data, summarying ( several counts, min and
max) and re-formatting, where the data are from around 10 tables, each
of them is > 10k records, some larger ones have > 1 million records.
Using sql*plus to count all records in a table took 25 seconds
Since it is web-based, the number one concern for me is speed. Hope

Hi,
I am trying to build a tool that analyzes stock data. Therefore I am
going to download and store quite a vast amount of it. Just for a
general number - assuming there are about 7000 listed stocks on the two
major markets plus some extras, 255 tradying days a year for 20 years,
that is about 36 million entries.
Obviously a database is a logical choice for that. However I've never
used one, nor do I know what benefits I would get...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
