Just a few days ago (July 29th) the 3.0.1 release went GA so I decided it was time to investigate what the new 3.0 ready themes had to offer. After looking through a handful of themes I decided to give the Magazine Basic theme a try for now. It offered a 1024 pixel wide layout and threaded comments; two of the features I was really looking for.  Feel free to share your comments: good, bad or otherwise.  Thanks! Here is a capture of the previous version just in case you don&#8217;t recall what it looked like (click for full size).]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://structureddata.org/2010/08/01/new-outfit-new-style/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Happy Anniversary To The Structured Data Blog</title><link>http://structureddata.org/2009/02/23/happy-anniversary-to-the-structured-data-blog/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=happy-anniversary-to-the-structured-data-blog</link> <comments>http://structureddata.org/2009/02/23/happy-anniversary-to-the-structured-data-blog/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2009 09:00:34 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Greg Rahn</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid

Looking back, I guess I forgot to have a first anniversary, but oh well, I guess I&#8217;ll celebrate twice as much this year to make up for it. The past two years have been fun and I&#8217;ve enjoyed sharing my experiences and interacting with the readers of this blog. I do wish I had a bit more time to commit to writing but I guess it is what it is. Being a bit of a perfectionist, I&#8217;d rather focus on quality than quantity. The past year has been a fun, but busy one, especially with the launch of Oracle Exadata and the HP Oracle Database Machine. I think the rest of 2009 will continue to be a busy and exciting one and I hope to have several more Exadata posts. The Past Year Looking back over the past year the top visited blog posts have been: Choosing An Optimal Stats Gathering Strategy Troubleshooting Bad Execution Plans Top Ways How Not To Scale Your Data Warehouse I&#8217;m glad to see the first two of those have been frequently visited because I think they cover topics that are extremely helpful [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://structureddata.org/2009/02/23/happy-anniversary-to-the-structured-data-blog/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>A New Look For Structured Data</title><link>http://structureddata.org/2009/02/08/a-new-look-for-structured-data/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=a-new-look-for-structured-data</link> <comments>http://structureddata.org/2009/02/08/a-new-look-for-structured-data/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 09 Feb 2009 06:46:58 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Greg Rahn</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://structureddata.org/?p=368</guid> <description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve decided it was time for a new look for Structured Data so I&#8217;ve updated the theme. I think I have looked at enough posts and all looks well but if you find something that appears odd, unreadable or otherwise, do let me know by posting a comment on this thread and include the link to the problematic post. One of the main reasons I chose this theme was for the java script that allows links back to a comment that one has replied to as well as the option to quote previous comments as well. On the down side the Trackbacks are hidden by default and one has to choose either Trackbacks or Comments to be viewed. I may modify this as time permits. Time came sooner than I had originally anticipated. Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts, especially if you think this version of the site lacks something the previous version had.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://structureddata.org/2009/02/08/a-new-look-for-structured-data/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>5</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Data Warehouse Appliances: Conflicting Stories</title><link>http://structureddata.org/2008/09/11/data-warehouse-appliances-conflicting-stories/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=data-warehouse-appliances-conflicting-stories</link> <comments>http://structureddata.org/2008/09/11/data-warehouse-appliances-conflicting-stories/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2008 05:02:40 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Greg Rahn</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Conflicting Stories]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Data Warehouse Appliance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Netezza]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Teradata]]></category><guid

One has to laugh when a company (Tesco) is involved in two press releases in two days with two different database vendors and the press releases are a bit conflicting. I&#8217;d say this appears to be a case of open mouth, insert foot. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show&#8230; On September 9, 2008 Netezza put out a press release entitled &#8220;Netezza Bags Tesco&#8220;. In this press release Marcel Borlin, Programme Manager at Tesco states: “We currently have around 25 heavy analytical users running large queries on Netezza. They are analysing transactional discrepancies across millions of items and item movements every day, right through the supply chain; from stores to distribution centres. The specific application is designed to find wastage such as stolen, destroyed, out-of-date or lost items. It is an important function, as it affects the financial position of the Company. Yet, on the Teradata platform we had to allocate time slots for running these analyses, or the system would grind to a halt.” On September 11, 2008 Tesco put out a press release entitled &#8220;Tesco Reconfirms Commitment to Teradata&#8220;. In this press release Marcel Borlin, [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://structureddata.org/2008/09/11/data-warehouse-appliances-conflicting-stories/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The First Post</title><link>http://structureddata.org/2007/02/23/the-first-post/?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=the-first-post</link> <comments>http://structureddata.org/2007/02/23/the-first-post/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Feb 2007 23:00:20 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Greg Rahn</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid

Going forward I would like to use this blog as an additional channel for discussions with the Oracle user community. Just a bit of background on me&#8230; I&#8217;ve been a member of the Real World Performance Group at Oracle since 2004 and I have worn the DBA and Systems/Storage Admin hats prior to that. My role in the Real-World Performance Group is that of a database performance engineer. I have been concentrating on data warehousing and spend most of my time doing data warehouse benchmarks for customers that have varied in size from 1TB to more than 70TB. I&#8217;ve also worked on OLTP benchmarks as well as performance related escalations.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://structureddata.org/2007/02/23/the-first-post/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
