API Calling Twitter from stored procedures PL / SQL can send status updates to a Twitter account. Apart from the funny thing it may be, can be a very effective method to warn us or our users of any event occurring in the database.

Twitter can easily convert an additional warning system for when we have problems in our Oracle database, or you simply want to learn or inform others automatically upon completion of certain processes, such as Enterprise Data Warehouse charges .

Remember that Twitter accounts can be configured to be open to any user, or can be secured so that only users to access Twitter to be granted permission to 'follow'.

You can find the code and a detailed explanation on how to create a package for Twittering from PL / SQL in the Database Geek Blog , and updated source code in ORA_Tweet project has created the same Lewis Cunningham on Sourceforge.

I just finished an installation of SQL Server 2008 Express and SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express, and I had a few laps for a couple of points of the system that are not too intuitive. With this entry I hope to facilitate the job who is in the same situation later.
To begin with I thought that Management Studio already installed with the BD, and it does not. First you install the SQL Server engine, and then downloaded another package to install SQL Server Management Studio.
Installing SQL Server Express will not comment because I came up no problem worthy of note, and is well explained in many other places. I connect the Microsoft download page where the installation packages of SQL Server 2008 Express.

After installing the BD, download the installation package of SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express, also available at the Microsoft website...

The new additions were Antonio Valle, of Gobierno TIC and Jordi Rodriguez, which I also repeated in the next. We failed to Fabian Isabel, who had promised to come to ask about BI...

For whatever reason we may have to develop a Microsoft Integration Services package we move data from any source to a table that is in a MySQL database.

The first aim will do so through an ADO.NET Destination and MySQL provider for the connection. If we do well to insert the data directly, to create the target, select the connection and then select the table appears an error like the following check everything with the preview or try and do the assignments...

We want to give more importance to our users, and better distinguish the personal profiles of the corporate community, in order to enhance each in his way.

en leave a small post on how to mount an automatic notification via mail that tells us what is the status of our database. For example we can manage it a bit before starting our work day and before we leave or while on vacation (jaja. ..). This example is about a MySQL 5.x running on Debian. Steps as follows...

In MySQL there is a parameter that enables logging of queries that take more than x seconds to execute calls Slow Queries. Basically what it does is put them in a log file and then check with mysqldumpslow. This mechanism may be useful to improve the overall performance of the database if we reduce the value of a progressive manner to the execution times of "leave" before declaring a query such as "slow" or slow query...

Dataprix We have created a space in which we call Lab, accessible from the domain labs.dataprix.com, where we operate online experiments and demonstrations of products.

Start the experiment, in beta, allowing online access to the virtual image and Mariano Dario Pentaho, eglue Group. Try it and you will tell us how this performs. We hope in future to be updated version of Pentaho and go to expand the data, reports and dashboards available, but what there is now enough to prove how this Open Source BI server. And if someone wants to tweak more simply download the virtual image, with all pre-configured development environment.
