One month ago, ODTUG Kscope18 was getting started, and one month ago was the first time in two years that I was not the Conference Chair, and today, I can say that my friend Opal did a damn good job at taking the ODTUG Kscope conference to the next level. Thank you Opal for your …

ODC Appreciation Day : SQL Developer
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but there have been a few changes in Oracle’s advocacy community. The Oracle Technology Network has been rebranded as The Oracle Developer Community (ODC), and the Oracle ACE and Java Champions have a new baby sibling, called the Developer Champion. In the 2nd, hopefully annual Appreciation Day (started by Tim Hall), the community …
Microservices PoC: Docker Calculator build with docker-compose
Hopefully you have been following my Docker exploits allowing me to share as I go along. Recently I posted a part two on my Microservices PoC describing a simple calculator. The solution currently instructs to you to execute four (4) docker build commands to create the individual containers for the calculator function. When I did …
Run SQLd360 in Docker Container
A few weeks ago, I needed to run SQLd360, but didn’t have access to the database server, and I was working from a Windows box. That combination is not the best. Normally, I would have used VirtualBox with a Linux OS and handled things from there. This time I decided to see what could be …
Microservices PoC: A Docker Calculator
This example will explore building a simple container that has one specific function. I’ll then extend this concept to a bit to add additional containers in an effort to build a basic calculator that can add, subtract, divide, and multiply. The current rendition will execute from the command line. Given enough time, we can REST …
MongoDB Docker Oracle Linux Slim
Working for a consulting firm, I have the opportunity to occasionally explore technologies that don’t quite align with my focus area(s). I started looking at MongoDB, and over the last couple of weeks, I’ve found it to be quite fun. This post will focus on my intro to MongoDB and hopefully will result in a …
Deploy node-oracledb with Official Instant Client Image
A few days ago, I started building a PoC with the Oracle DB 12.1 and Oracle Instant Client. My goal was to deploy each component to separate and see if I could access the DB from the OIC container. Now to take it a step further. Adding the node-oracledb driver to enable Node.js interaction with …
Using the Oracle Instant Client with Docker and Oracle DB12c
This weekend, in my desire to learn more about Docker, I decided to implement a multi-container solution. In this PoC, I plan to deploy a container with the Oracle Database 12.1 and a second container with the Oracle Instant Client 12.2. The goal will be to connect to the Database container from the Instant Client …
SSH Into the Oracle Database Cloud Service
One of the things that make us feel comfortable when working with a database is the ability to ssh into the server, connect to the database, and use sqlplus or sqlcl to interact with the database. You might not know it, but even though the Oracle Database Cloud Service is a PaaS solution, you still …
GaOUG Tech Days Session: REST Request and JSON with APEX Packages
It’s that time of year where we have to start delivering on those promises made months ago when we professed to be experts at some Oracle tech. Experts enough to commit to standing up in front an audience eagerly awaiting us to drop that tidbit of knowledge that will change their lives. Give then that …
