Librarians Learn a Thing or Two About SQL

01/13/2007  
Relevance: 6.87
The book begins with several chapters about creating, using and managing a relational database. Westman focuses on using the open source database software MySQL, although he discusses using PostgreSQL as an alternative. For those with database experience -- even a library catalog database -- this won't be totally foreign. Many tables and drawings in the book illustrate the MySQL database structure.

Hugin developer launches photographic distortion correction database

05/26/2007  
Relevance: 6.24
The lead developer of the Hugin panorama-stitching application, Pablo d'Angelo, has proposed a new open database for collecting camera lens information that could be used to correct systematic distortion in photographs. The database would be populated by user-submitted calibration data and some data donated from a competitor, but the exact format and licensing of the database are still under consideration. One developer's suggestion would make proprietary software that uses the database pay for the privilege.

An Oracle database consists of a collection of data managed by an Oracle database management system. You can download Oracle Database XE server for Debian, Mandriva, Novell, Red Hat and Ubuntu Linux distributions. First you need to get databases up and running in order to use Oracle. The Oracle database has had a reputation among new Linux users as difficult to install on Linux systems. Now Oracle Corporation has packaged recent versions for several popular Linux distributions in an attempt to minimize installation challenges beyond the level of technical expertise required toinstall a database server.

DBAs take great pride in providing reliable database services to their organizations. It comes as no surprise they are very stressed when the database is blamed for performance issues or application outages. This article shows you how to provide a real-time graph of database status to reduce false accusations, identify problems for rapid resolution, and avoiding the political blame game.

Oracle names 11g Database price

08/15/2007  
Relevance: 6.13
Oracle has finally unveiled pricing for its long-awaited next database running on Linux, and it's mixed news for users. The Oracle Database 11g price will remain the same as its predecessor, 10g: expensive. Unless, of course, you want to use some of that new functionality Oracle has been promising, in which case Oracle Database 11g becomes even more expensive.

Using MySQL as a filesystem

02/15/2008  
Relevance: 5.85
With MySQLfs you can store a filesystem inside a MySQL relational database. MySQLfs breaks up the byte content of files that you store in its filesystem into tuples in the database, which allows you to store large files in the filesystem without requiring the database to support extremely large BLOB fields. With MySQLfs you can throw a filesystem into a MySQL database and take advantage of whatever database backup, clustering, and replication setup you have to protect your MySQLfs filesystem.

A database solution is more than database software

09/25/2006  
Relevance: 5.71
I was interested to read Ian Murphy's story about SQL Anywhere. Despite the availability of embedded databases, it seems to me that the database (in the DBMS sense) hasn't really come to mobile devices like phones yet. This is largely because of resource constraints - they're back in the 1970s mindset before enterprise databases really took off, using clever file systems for data storage (remember VSAM?).
