Better Logic for better solutions

It is easy to see why I am so excited about Oracle. It just keeps getting better and better. Below is a snip from the press release. This will definately increase opportunities in the BI field. The Internet is fresh and new again!

Two of our DBA's will be attending Collaborate '07 this year. We will be focusing on the core RDBMS, RMAN, Streams, Data Guard and Oracle Fusion/Apps server. Wrap all that into Enterprise Management best practices and were ready to go.
I'm looking forward to meeting up with all my friends there and continue the geek-fest started at Oracle Open World.

One of the new features of 10g that we really like is Flashback Database. We had just enabled this feature on a development database and a few days later one of our developers reported that a table had been dropped accidentally. Wow, in the past this would have been a lot of work to recover the dropped table. With flashback database we were able to flashback the tablespace in three minutes (from request to completion). Now that is a really cool time saver.
