From Tutorials to AI: Approach Technical Documentation From a Different Angle
The only thing more abundant than coffee in a developer’s life is, well, technical documentation. It seems simple enough – you have a problem, you go through a few pages, and get your answer, that simple. Is it, though? Anyone who’s ever tumbled down the rabbit hole of Stack Overflow threads at 2 AM or squinted at API docs with the growing suspicion they’re written in an ancient, forgotten dialect will tell you: not quite.
Tutorials skip crucial steps, reference guides resemble dense textbooks, and help forums, while helpful, can send you on a wild goose chase for that one golden nugget of information. But there’s a light in the tunnel, and we’re here to help you find it.

‘OR’ and ‘IS NULL’ Might Be Holding You Back
Where “OR” and “IS NULL” condition frolic unchecked, queries often find themselves stumbling down the performance rabbit hole—a place where CPU cycles burn faster than a comet tail and I/O operations multiply with the fervor of rabbits in spring.

The Nightmare of Database Deadlocks
A database deadlock occurs when two or more transactions in a database system hold locks on resources the others need. Each transaction waits for the others to release their locks, and just like two drivers who are not sure who has the right of way, none can proceed.
It would be lovely to be able to enumerate the causes of a database deadlock and address all of them. Sadly, it’s way too complex. It can be said, though, that a database deadlock is most likely to stem from poor application design, lack of proper transaction management, or the inevitable complexity of highly concurrent systems.

Adapt or Perish: Change Management
Business is the track we’re all riding on. It zigs, it zags, and just when you think you’ve got a straight shot, it throws you for a loop. From the ups brought by technological innovation to the subtle tremors of consumer preference, change keeps the wagon moving. Without it, our tale of commerce and industry would be as dull as a car ride to the nearest shop.
Businesses that treat change like an unwelcome guest at the party are the ones that end up sitting alone in the corner. The real movers and shakers are the ones who invite change to dance, anticipating its moves and stepping in time.

Data Observability
Too often when looking at the data we see just numbers – columns and rows that might seem meaningful on the surface but lack depth without proper context. Data observability changes this perspective. This approach is about understanding what the numbers really tell us about the health, accuracy, and vitality of our data systems.
Data observability isn’t just one thing – it’s an ability, or rather a way of monitoring your data’s health, accuracy, and overall usefulness. It’s what equips data teams with the essential tools they need in order to make sure that the data that’s driving business decisions is not only there but also high-quality, well-structured, and up-to-date.

How Busy Was the Database Today? – Database Activity Monitoring Done Right
Trying to gauge the workload of a database on any given day can pose quite a challenge. A straightforward question supported by basic Database Activity Monitoring might not yield an insightful answer if it’s stripped of context, cluttered with arbitrary numbers, and missing crucial details.
So, what’s the right way to address this query?

The Easy Way and the Hard Way to Optimize an Oracle Database
It may seem that the companies entangled in the web of Oracle and its ecosystem have a limited set of options when it comes to performance tuning. It’s either – pay for extra functionalities and navigate Oracle’s complex licensing, risking non-compliance penalties. This often leads to a conservative approach to optimization, stifling innovation due to the fear of overstepping licensing terms.
But do we always have to go the hard way?
There’s a much simpler route that doesn’t involve trembling with fear of clicking the wrong thing. That’s what we will be talking about today.
