		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to Java, Oracle has been having just about the worst year ever. If there is any kind of silver lining to the company's troubles, perhaps it is the hope that Oracle is finally learning that security updates must go out as soon as they're needed, and not only at the firm's convenience.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Before I bring you up to date as to February, let me review last month. As covered by John Leyden over at The Register, back in mid-January Oracle released a version of Java 7 that plugged a nasty vulnerability which had already been spotted and used in the wild. Users had to get the update  because the exploit for the bug had been 'weaponized' and bundled in widely available black-market hacking toolkits in the week prior  to Oracle's release, Leyden noted. Even the US Department of Homeland Security, along with antivirus firms F-Secure, Sophos, and others, warned browser users to turn off Ja...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, Oracle has embraced cloud computing in a big way. The company's latest twist on its cloud infrastructure as a service is an on-demand option that incurs no large up-front costs and only a monthly fee. But you'd better take a look at the fine print before you sign on the dotted line.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Rachel King writing for ZDNet provides the details. First, let's consider the service itself. According to Oracle's own product overview users can get Oracle Exadata, Exalogic, Exalytics, SPARC SuperCluster, and Sun ZFS Storage Appliance hardware and support, right in their own data center, for a monthly fee. Users can pay to access peak CPU capacity only when they need it (such as during the holidays for a retail business). Oracle customers using this IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) solution will receive  periodic hardware refreshes to enable access to next generation technology.   Now he...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[So what does Eloqua offer that Oracle wants? According to the Washington Post, Eloqua is a software maker whose products help companies  identify the visitors to their Web site who are most likely to purchase products or services.  Their client list includes such luminaries as Blackboard and the Washingon Capitals. Apparently Oracle wants the company intact. All 400 of Eloqua's employees will retain their jobs. According to Eloqua's website,  Oracle plans to make Eloqua the centerpiece of its marketing cloud offering.  Indeed, Eloqua insists that  The combination of our best-in-class modern ma...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[Why are some large companies very good at innovation and others more likely to drop the ball? Earlier this year, Oracle sponsored a survey, conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit, to answer that question. The survey queried 226 senior executives across a wide range of industries, and some of the findings may surprise you.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Bob Evans, senior VP of communications at Oracle, wrote about the survey for Forbes. He discussed 10 strategic insights one can glean from the survey's findings to help encourage companies to  improve their efforts ad identifying, nurturing, and generating innovation.   What stood out for me among the insights is that, conscious or not, the lack of innovation is a choice. Innovation isn't something that happens just when you hire geniuses; it happens as the result of a series of decisions and encouraged behaviors. For example, one often sees large companies suffering from  silos  that separate...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Indeed, Oracle released an emergency update to deal with the issue. Dubbed CVD-2012-3132, you can read Oracle's security alert on the issue at the link. It's a nasty privilege escalation bug, which means that an attacker can gain complete control of the affected server. Fortunately, there are certain limits as to who can take advantage of this flaw. The hacker needs to be an authenticated user of the database, because of the way the attack must be carried out to exploit the flaw. The attacker gains database administrator privileges on the server by executing arbitrary SQL commands - which mean...]]></content:encoded>

According to the H Open website, all of the statements given the distinction of being unsafe supposedly  rely on the result of a select statement where the order cannot be relied upon.   Oracle recommends that any users who engage in statement-based logging should read the accompanying documentation for additional guidance regarding the issues addressed in the update.

Oracle initially gave a sneak peek into both products at the Oracle Open World Conference in San Francisco a few weeks ago, so the rather quick availability and updated information show that the company is taking aggressive steps to measure up to the competition. The timing of Oracle's announcements could not be any better, as its competitors are also making moves in the large-scale data processing arena.  EMC and IBM kicked t...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[How to sort a result set by an alias, an expression, or a column number  Figure 3-18 presents three more techniques that you can use to specify sort columns. First, you can use a column alias that's defined in the SELECT clause. The first SELECT statement in this figure, for example, sorts by a column named address, which is an alias for the concatenation of the vendor_city, vendor_state, and vendor_zip_code columns. Within the address column, the result set is sorted by the vendor_name column.  You can also use an arithmetic or string expression in the ORDER BY clause, as illustrated by the s...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[How to use the LIKE operator  One final operator you can use in a search condition is the LIKE operator, shown in figure 3-15. You use this operator along with the wildcards shown at the top of this figure to specify the string pattern, or mask, that you want to match. The examples in this figure show how this works.  In the first example, the LIKE phrase specifies that all vendors in cities that start with the letters SAN should be included in the query results. Here, the percent sign (%) indicates that any characters can follow these three letters. So San Diego and Santa Ana are both include...]]></content:encoded>
