Do you know the difference between the UNION and the UNION ALL part of a statement? In short, UNION does a sort-unique on both collections. UNION ALL just retrieves all rows, regardless of any double values.

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).
I ran into an issue at a customer site where certain triggers were disabled in the database where they should be enabled. It appeared that an update script, that is run every night, first disables all triggers on a couple of tables. Then does what it needs to do, without the overhead of the trigger code. and then, when it’s done, it enables all triggers again.
If the update code fails for whatever reason, then the re-enabling of the triggers is not performed, leaving the triggers in disabled state on the database, which can cause problems in everyday use. What you would actually want is a situation where you can disable the triggers, but just for the current session. Any other session should have the triggers enabled at all times. Unfortunately Oracle doesn’t support this kind of enabling/disabling of triggers. We do however have access to all the possibilities of PL/SQL in triggers so we can build a solution to this problem ourselves.
I am writing lots of code again. Building a package that imports different files into the database. I thought I should share a bit of my working experience with you. As you may (or may not) know, I am a big fan of Allround Automations PL/SQL Developer, so that’s my main tool for this job. Along with some of the plug-ins I built I think I have a nice toolbox on my hands.
At AMIS they are working on teaching a lot of us about the fundamentals of SOA. We just had the first couple of events in which Lucas and Peter taught us stuff about XML and BPEL. To get an idea of what SOA and webservices actually are and how we should work with them.
