Oracle SQL-92 Non compliance:  When will oracle support empty strings?

Oracle is the only database on the planet that equates an empty string to a null value. For several major versions, Oracle has said "Make sure you don't rely on null and empty string equivalency because it could go away in the future." When will Oracle get with it and support this aspect of the SQL-92 standard (not to mention mathmatical logic)?

You log enhancement requests through Metalink.
The procedure is documented in Metalink document 166650.1 as follows:
How to Log an Enhancement Request:
Create a new Service Request in MetaLink.
On the Create a SR - Brief Description screen, in the Type of problem field, select Enhancement Request.
Important factors to remember when filling out the Enhancement Request Service Request template and creating the Service Request:
Fully describe why the current product functionality does not meet your needs.
Explain in detail the enhancement you would like implemented
If possible, describe how the product can be changed to achieve the desired results.
Describe your business expectations. Include key milestone dates and justifications as to why this request is so important and the benefits your organization stands to gain should this request be accepted.
Once your Service Request has been created, it will be assigned to a Support Engineer who will validate your information. In some cases, your request may be a new or known product defect that the Support Engineer can either provide a fix, a workaround, or introduce to Oracle Development for resolution. In other cases, you may be presenting a valuable product enhancement that can improve Oracle product functionality. In all cases, the Support Engineer will be able to qualify your request and pass along the information to Oracle Development.
Once the Support Engineer validates your request, and an agreed upon action plan is created, your Support Engineer will create a new Enhancement Request and provide you with an Enhancement Request tracking number. The BUG search tool on MetaLink can then be used to receive status updates.
Please note that the Support Engineer will close the SR once the enhancement has been logged.
Also, see document 214168.1

  • When will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX6.1

    Hi all
    I'm sorry if I post it in a wrong place... But I really want to know when will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX 6.1?
    I've searched in metalink but found nothing useful. Is there anybody can give me a link of Oracle's roadmap for platform support?
    Thanks!

    Oracle does not announce release dates and neither
    does any other software company.But Oracle does have a very good track record of supporting their products on new windows releases extremely close to the windows release date. Clearly they can't support on an unreleased platform though. Given that the launch of Server 2008 isn't even complete worldwide yet (19th March in the UK for example) it would seem that this enquiry is a little premature.

    from the little information in your post i would say try to import oracle.sql.*, oracle.jdbc.* and oracle.xdb.*. Make sure your project can access the following libraries ojdbc14.jar and xdb.jar.

    Hi, this is a known problem for most Spatial 10g Java APIs with WLS.
    WLS is only certified with 11g DB.
    Instead of using Weblogic JNDI Lookup for Datasource, try the following snippet to create your connection/datasource (with Oracle JDBC thin driver):
    String databaseUrl = jdbc:oracle:thin:@1.2.3.4:1521:yourdbname
    String databaseUser = dbusername
    String databasePassword = dbpassword
    DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
    Connection aConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(databaseUrl, databaseUser, databasePassword);
    For more information, see the following:

  • When will Lightroom support Sigma DP1/2/3m ?

    When will Lightroom support Sigma DP1/2/3m ?

    Contrary to popular belief, Adobe needs to buy a production camera just like everyone else. The camera makers are so afraid of competition that they - none of them - give away anything, to anyone, and certainly not in advance. Most of them are also so afraid of competition that they still refuse to support DNG, a universal and openly documented raw file format that could have been the industry standard today if it wasn't for this paranoia. Then you would have had instant Lightroom support for the camera fresh off the shelf.
    So the answer is: it happens when the Lr team has had time to reverse-engineer and profile it. Probably next Lr release, but no one knows.
    (I'm saving this reply for whenever the question "when will camera xyz be supported" comes up, which is about twice a day).

  • When will Nokia support NTLM proxy authorization?

    They Proxy server should use NTLM. When will Nokia support NTLM proxy authorization?

    My personal guess: Never.
    You can also change the question to: When will Microsoft stop requiring the use of Microsoft-proprietary technologies and support open standards?
    If the Microsoft proxy server you use already does support non-Microsoft standards, then ask your proxy server administrators to enabled such support.

  • When will lightroom support d750 raw files?

    when will lightroom support d750 raw files?

    No one who knows can say and no one who says knows.  I’d GUESS it’ll be before the end of November, around the time Canon releases the 7D Mark II which has already been announced by has a ship date sometime in November according to B&H.
    While you’re waiting, you can download the DNG Converter 8.7 RC from Adobe Labs, and convert your NEFs to DNGs and import those DNGs into LR.  The DNGC is in the CS6 branch of the ACR 8.7 download, here:

  • When will LightRoom support the Panasonic DMC-GH4 camera?

    When will LightRoom support the Panasonic DMC-GH4 camera?

    Adobe rarely comments publically about future support; however, a new camera is usually supported in the next version of Adobe software.  LR comes out every 3 or 4 months and LR 5.4 was released April 7, with a beta a few weeks before then, I’d guess it won’t be too much longer, unless there is some special problem with GH4 support.
    The betas are available on http://labs.adobe.com/ so that is the first place to periodically check.
    With LR 5.4 there wasn’t a public beta (release candidate) due to the newly added Lightroom Mobile feature that Adobe wanted to keep secret until it was actually for sale.

  • When will Aperture support Fujifilm Xpro1 raw files??

    Does anybody knows when will Aperture support Fujifilm Xpro1 raw files?? It have been pendning for a while already, really hope there will be an update soon. Thanks. 

    I firmly disencourage people to purchase Aperture these days.
    To everyone asking me for advise as a Pro photographer.
    Apple attitude on this issue is of abandonement and ignorance of users needs.
    Unfortunately, the feeling is that this is going to be the permanent standard.
    They are not providing translations, not providing support to models such as X-Pro1 that has received inmediate reaction from major developers, neither do care for users that openly claim for RAW support for an extended model as X-10.
    This is somehow another sign of apple arrogance in term of market predominant coompany.
    If Apple do not begin to lose sales and an importan market share this is going to be worse and worse.
    Best way: Ignore Aperture.
    Adobe is nowadays the ONLY option for photographers.
    I don't like Lightroom so I must select my shots with Photo Mechanic, or Xnview and then go to photoshop.
    Sick of Apple.
