Oracle Data Guard

“Our recovery strategy has always been based on tape backups. We also set up Oracle Data Guard as a “nice to have” optional extra. Then we had a total SAN failure and a couple of months later a major disk corruption on another SAN, both indirect results of power outages. On both occasions Data Guard enabled us to recover without loss of data. Now I realize it's not “nice to have” – it's essential!”
Rachel Slade, Oxford Brookes University

My Oracle Support Flash Retirement - HTML to be "the one"

The countdown has started! Flash is scheduled for retirement on August 10th,

hence the counter on the main portal site.

So MAKE SURE you have the latest browsers, for example Internet Explorer 6 is no longer supported.

Read the post about supported browsers, if you need.

As you might have read the support.oracle.com  flash site is to be replaced,

all of the main Flash features are now ported. The HTML site is written using Oracle's ADF stack.
