Sysadmin Tales: May 2010
http://sysadmintales.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 18, 2010. One of the things I thought was the coolest when I was just starting to learn SQL was the idea of using SQL queries to generate scripts. Sometimes you use this ability in some kind of a GUI and sometimes you spool. Set feedback on off. Set heading on off. Set echo on off. Unfortunately) I was unable to find the site that helped us to solve the case, but apparently, to function those commands need to be run as part of a script and not from the SQLPlus prompt.

Sysadmin Tales: Temporary
http://sysadmintales.blogspot.com/2010/07/temporary.html
Saturday, July 17, 2010. One of the things I've learned being a sysadmin is that there's no such thing as a "temporary solution", if you're presented with one or thought about one yourself first ask yourself how do you feel about this solution becoming permanent, because it's here to stay. One example I always fall back to when I have an argument about a temporary solution is the example of the email sending mechanism we use in our Oracle Applications system:. And I'll probably answer "well, I do". I...

Sysadmin Tales: February 2011
http://sysadmintales.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 18, 2011. I've concluded my previous post. By saying that our organization should probably use EMC for every system, I was berated for this conclusion and with a good reason - I was wrong. Yes - if stability is the only consideration so sticking with EMC is a very good idea, but it's not. You do it for a good reason. You "take care of it" - you need to test it, monitor it and have a standard for maintaining it, just like you have with any other solution. Hopefully this atones for my sin.

Sysadmin Tales: September 2010
http://sysadmintales.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 11, 2010. One of the most basic things one does with his OS is managing files, this task becomes critical if you have to access multiple file locations - I know it's critical for me, since I manage files on many different servers and on several local locations during a typical workday. Back to my first sentence: managing files should be basic, and well in my humble opinion, not that complicated. So how come Microsoft still have the crippled Windows Explorer? I'd be very happy to hear ...

Sysadmin Tales: The Stage I Fear The Most
http://sysadmintales.blogspot.com/2009/05/stage-i-fear-most.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. The Stage I Fear The Most. Since I became a team leader. 160;I've been working more and more with Oracle products other than EBS, mainly iAS and OID. I've noticed that the installation part of iAS-like installations never fails, the stage I've really learned to hate is the Configuration Assistants - each one that completes gives me a sigh of relief, but too many times I'm cursing instead. . 101401 - check. upgrade MR - check. 10.1.4.3 - uh oh. So I did just that, but then the SSO ...

Sysadmin Tales: Performance
http://sysadmintales.blogspot.com/2010/08/performance.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. Every sysadmin has to deal with performance issues once in a while. As the "the sysadmin of sysadmins" I'm dealing a lot with allocating resources to VMs the developers for the different systems use. This is not a simple task since I have limited physical hardware and about 100 virtual development servers to manage and of course everyone wants his VMs to be as strong as needed. Or more accurately as desired. And Im not joking here. Some people suggest that being a sysadmin ...

Sysadmin Tales: Fixation
http://sysadmintales.blogspot.com/2010/02/focus.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. Being a sysadmin has many controversies, take new technologies for instance:. Recently I've installed a Weblogic server to start examining it, as our Oracle AS servers will need to be replaced sometime in the next couple of years since this line of products is going bye-bye. Anyways, it was pretty exciting, new (for me) Fusion 11g UI and the main administration screen is SO busy. So it sounds like I'm all for new technologies. not really, not always. A good one :).

Sysadmin Tales: Copy-Paste
http://sysadmintales.blogspot.com/2010/06/copy-paste.html
Tuesday, June 15, 2010. I can't think of many features that are both absolutely necessary and the biggest threat to the world as we know it (well, almost) at the same time as the ability to copy and paste text at the blink of a Ctrl C V. Retyping (or rewriting) a text over and over again is something computers excel at, but we humans can't stand, I guess that's the origin of punishments where you have to write a sentence one hundred times or copy sections from a book.
