The latest issue of the NoCOUG Journal is full of original content that 
provokes and stimulates (http://goo.gl/YIt6x)

The SQL Corner features an article titled “We Don’t Use Databases; We Don’t Use 
Indexes” by Iggy Fernandez who says: “The time is soon coming when the marriage 
of relational theory and transactional database management systems will be 
dissolved. We will be free to store structured non-transactional data outside a 
transactional database management system while continuing to exploit the entire 
universe of indexing, partitioning, and clustering techniques as well as the 
full power of relational languages, not only SQL.”

Say what?

There is a security-themed interview titled “Be Very Afraid” featuring Slavik 
Markovich, the CTO for database security at McAfee who says: “What DBAs should 
not accept are solutions that hinder or interfere with the DBA’s daily 
tasks—DBAs are primarily concerned with running databases efficiently. Any 
solution that jeopardizes this primary objective is counter-productive and 
doomed to fail anyway, because DBAs and other staff will find ways to 
circumvent it.”

Hear! Hear!

The Performance Corner features an article titled “Integrating Oracle Database 
and Hadoop” by Gwen Shapira, our resident Oracle ACE director who says: “I 
always advise customers to first make sure they are using Oracle correctly 
before venturing out to new platforms. … Have realistic expectations. Hadoop is 
a relatively new technology. It is not as mature as Oracle and can be much more 
challenging to deploy, tune, and troubleshoot.”

Amen, sister.
