free ebook and tutorial - Oracle Spatial Object Reader/Writer

The Oracle Spatial Reader/Writer module provides the Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) with the ability to read and write geometric, raster and attribute data stored using Oracle Spatial. This module communicates directly with Oracle Spatial for maximum throughput. Both the relational and object-relational models of Oracle Spatial are supported by FME: the object-relational model is discussed here and the relational model is discussed in a separate chapter – Oracle Spatial Relational Reader/Writer on page 1679. The object-relational model is often referred to as simply the object model, to prevent confusion with the pure relational model.

free ebook and tutorial - MySQL 5.0 Stored Procedures

This book is for long-time MySQL users who want to know "what's new" in version 5. The short answer is "stored procedures, triggers, views, information_schema". The long answer is the “MySQL 5.0 New Features” series, and this book is the first in the series. What I'm hoping to do is make this look like a hands-on session where you, as if you're working it out yourself on your keyboard, can walk through sample problems.

free ebook and tutorial - Hackproofing MySQL

MySQL claims to be the world's most popular open source database, and with good reason. It is free, runs on a wide variety of platforms, is relatively simple, easy to configure and performs well even under significant load. By comparison to some other popular database management systems, configuring it is quite simple, but there are still a sufficiently wide variety of security-relevant configuration issues to make securing it a challenge.

Oracle Database Listener Security Guide

The Oracle Database Listener is the database server software component that manages the network traffic between the Oracle Database and the client. The Oracle Database Listener listens on a specific network port (default 1521) and forwards network connections to the Database. The Listener is comprised of two binaries: (1) tnslsnr which is the Listener itself and (2) the Listener Control Utility (lsnrctl) which is used to administer the Listener on the server or remotely.

free ebook and tutorial - The Network Oracle

This paper sets out a high-level research agenda aimed at building a collaborative, global end-system monitoring and information infrastructure for the Internet’s core state. We argue that such a system is beneficial, feasible and timely, representing an important area for engagement across database and networking technologies. We start by hypothesizing the benefits to the Internet of a “Network Oracle” that could answer real-time questions about the global state of the network. We then argue that database and networking technology should make it possible to provide a useful approximation of such an oracle today, gathering information from a large number of end hosts and delivering useful views to each end system.
