What is the error text? Do you have to use adlockpessimistic or can you use adlockbatchoptimistic or some other type of locking?

Linux clustering versus supercomputing
Wonder, why you are asking about Oracle RAC along with Linux Networx and Cray’s supercomputers? Oracle RAC (Real Application Cluster) is solution for high availability and salability for database centric applications. Networx (clusters) and Cray (classical supercomputers) are HPC vendors. So can you exclude Oracle from the list or it’s important party in your question?

Sun’s future direction
Sun has done this before and the re-centered on one HW/SW architecture. In the early nineties, Sun did the 386i, the Sun 3 line, MC680x0 based, as well as starting the SPARC line, all the while making the transition from SunOS 3 to SunOS 4. The support issues were horrendous. So bad that the field [...]

When you say “new disk,” does that mean a replacement disk for an old one, or did you add a disk to a pool of existing disks (in a SAN or NAS system)?

Oracle Reports development & Oracle Conurrent Manager
I haven’t seen this problem, but just wondering if you’ve tried contacting Oracle support directly and/or tried placing a ticket with their Metalink portal for information on this problem. It has been my experience that they are very helpful with these kinds of issues.

Database Management: Comprehensive Admin Tools; Business Intelligence; Integrations/Migrations
Eric, I would have said Platinum but they got bought out by Computer Associates. So I would suggest Quest Technology or BMC. I would swing towards Quest most of the Platinum devolopment and support ended up working for them. Each company has toolsets that allow you to manage several diffent DBMS from one console. I [...]

Oracle 9i Designer
Hi. Any of those products will allow you to document at an extremely low level of granularity. Haven’t used Designer since 6i (the previous version), but it is strongest for “traditional” data modelers (using information engineering approach) deploying to an Oracle DBMS. It’s absolutely brilliant. I especially liked the stored procedure generation aspects and CRUD [...]

Encryption in the Database
Yes, in a ASP.Net application we encrypted CC info as the SQL server was located at a site we did not control. It was very straightforward to code (VB.net). We did not performance track it as we were only reading/writing one record at a time but I would think it would be minimal.

Hardware question – desktop fried through power surge
You will have to test each component. Plug the harddrive into another computer and see if it still boots. Try the same with the motherboard and any other cards you may have in it. Hopefully something is still good. As with all electronics (IE. tv’s cd players, computers, etc) you should have a surge protector [...]
