Which migration path would you pick?

You have 2 instances of DBMS with multiple applications attached to them: one is Oracle and the other is SQL Server. They evolved over the years from different organizations serving the same types of clientele but the clientele are disjoint. What would you do when asked to consolidate DBMSs?
[1] Maintain separate schemas: Use the Oracle Migration Workbench method to migrate everything in SQL Server to Oracle under a different schema?
[2] Deep integration:
- Shoe-horn the schema of SQL Server into the schema in Oracle
- convert all t-sql sprocs to PL/SQL by hand
I am darn sure the [2] is going to cost a whole lot more but how many times more are we talking here --- 2X, 3X, ???? Would anyone in their right mind do [2]?
Please share your thots on this. Thanks!

We have a great many customers doing both. Today you can use SQL Developer Migrations to migrate the SQL Server to Oracle and that includes the T-SQL. I'll leave the forum readers to answer your query from their experiences, but please drop me a line at [email protected] I'd be happy to help you discuss your options in terms of migrating to Oracle and provide you with details and material to get you started.
In the meantime - please note that there are small tutorials and demonstrations on the Migrations page that can give you an idea of the process once you are ready to migrate. http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html

Which topic categories would you like to subscribe to? NO WAY TO ANSWER THIS

In setting my options. I come to this question: "Which topic categories would you like to subscribe to?"
I also see a system-defined answer: "No topics defined".
And there is no drop-down list or text box, so so no visible way to set up some topics.
So - How do I define a topic or list of topics?

It's FireFox, when I set options for receving posts from the support site (like whether or not I want to receive a digest or individual e-mails). This particular aption is supposedly set be responding to the question "Which topic categories would you like to subscribe to?"

Which email service would you recommend and why? Google's or BC's?

Which email service would you recommend and why? Google's or BC's?

Easy Answer. Google. Hands down Google is better. BC has had issues in the past and while I think the issue is a little bit better I would choose Google. Do remember that Google Apps is $50 (USD) per year per user.
I have used Google Apps since they were still offering 50 free users and has worked great ever since. If there have been downtimes I have not noticed or has been so slight that is hasn't effected me in anyway. This is not the case with BC.
I am not trying to knock BC mail but it isn't the best.

Which Color Would You Pick??

I have a Pink Mini, I call her, Lauren. Yes! I name my iPods. Anyway, I am getting an iPod Nano 2nd Generation, which color would you get??? (Remember I am a girl!!!) But still, I am asking you what color would you get and If you have one, tell me how its running and would you recommend it to other people???? Thanks!!!

Personally, I'd just go with a color that you like since everyone has their own taste. I was going to buy a new iPod Nano but they don't come in the color I desire which is gold. If they came in gold, I might of scooped one right up. Anyways, I've seen all the new nanos in person and if I had to choose a very plain color that goes with anything silver but if I wanted to be more courageous and adventerous I would go with blue, pink, or green because they are much brighter and more vibrant.

Which Battery would you pick?

My battery is shot for my Macbook pro. I need a new one, but dont know where to get it from. Would you get it from Apply at 169.00 or off of ebay for 79?
Does it matter where I get it from, are they all the same?
Thanks

Age of a battery matters. If some one has had a battery on the shelf for 1 years it's not going to perform as well as a new battery. Also 3rd party batteries can also have issues like generating too much heat, expanding, wrong voltage.
Batteries also have a limited number of cycles so never buy an open box, or used battery. Always ask how long they've had the battery. and where they got it.

Which server OS would you choose?

Hi,
To choose the better server for running Jdev 11.1.1.5 projects, which one would you prefer?
Win 08 server
Oracle Linux 5.7
Many Thanks & Best Regards,
HuaMin

HuaMin,
I'd chose an OS that:
a). Is officially supported
b). You and/or your company has experience with and is comfortable supporting and tuning
As much as Windows tends to be maligned, if you and your company are well experienced in running Windows servers, then by all means, use Windows. Myself, I'd prefer Linux, but that's because I have more experience in running Linux servers in production.

Re: Which one would you pick?

I have been looking into purchasing a new laptop, and Im torn between the following two. Please let me know which you would pick and why. My uses will only be internet and word processing.

Keep in mind those are both configurable series of machines, so I can't specifically compare specs.
However, the Vostro line appear to be Dell's "small office/home office" business line - So positioned somewhere between the Inspirons (cheap consumer units) and Optiplex (desktop)/Latitude (laptop).
So I would expect the build quality of the Vostro to be better. It may also have better warranty and support options since it is positioned for small business customers. The Vostro looks like it will be more portable (thinner, smaller screen) but potentially harder to type on/view (the price of portability), but you'll probably get more features for the money with the Inspiron series. With the Vostro you'll be paying extra for build quality and miniaturization.

Which external HD would you recommend?

Hi, I'm looking to buy an external HD which I think will just be used to back-up all my stuff. Problem is I know nothing about them and I'd be grateful for any advice.
The LaCie D2 hard drive Extreme 200Gb is one I'm considering. It can be connected via USB 2.0, FireWire 400 or 800.
It seems a good price and I can't see me needing more than 200Gb.
Can anyone say why I should or shouldn't go with this one?
What about a HD with just a USB connection - it'll be cheaper of course, so is the only advantage of FW the speed? How much difference is there - are we talking huge?
And what others should I consider?

I would like to second the recommendation of OWC and their Mercury Elite Pro drives. They can be had in either USB2/FW400 or USB2/FW400/FW/800 configurations. I am not sure if they ship internationally, but they are quality Hitachi drives and use the Oxford 911 FW chipset. Not a hitch with either Panther or Tiger.
Since you have the Rev B iMac, it came with at least a 250GB drive and I would not get a drive that is smaller than your external. The difference in price in minimal and in any case, it is cheaper than having to replace it because it is too small.
Something that I do with my drive is to partition it into 2, 80GB partitions. My iMac has the 160GB drive, so I can use SuperDuper to clone a bootable copy to one parition and use the second for an additional clone or straight data backup.

Which harddisk brand would you suggest?

I'm not sure if this question fits this forum, but I have no idea who else to ask. So I hope you can give me some advice.
I want to buy the new Mac Power TAURUS housing for 2 SATA harddisks.
This one here:
http://www.heyfile.com/photo/2007/20070319_MacPowerTaurus/11.jpg
Now I'm looking for two harddisks to build into it. But I cant decide which brand to buy. Maxtor, Hitachi, Samsung & Co.
Each disk should have between 200 and 500 GB.
Background: I'm sick of burning BackUp DVDs. I want to set the disk to Mirror-RAID and only use it for back-up. So the disks dont need realtime-video performance. Size & prize ist more important to me.
Best regards,
Jan / Germany

We just bought 6 Maxtor 1TB drives. No problems yet.
Apples uses Hitachi drives in their RAIDs. We have two almost 3 year old Xserve RAIDs that have been in constant use for this time period. Two drives have failed within the past 4 months, but that is still just 2 out of 28, and they are 3 years old. I wouldn't consider Hitachi drives unreliable based on that.
I haven't used Samsung drives. You don't mention Seagate, and that's good. They are the only drive manufacturer I would specifically recommend against. We have Seagate drives in our Windows servers and the darn things have been failing right and left, some of them while still under warranty. Personally, I don't think Seagate has made a decent drive since 1986.

So which LED Tv would you guys suggest?

Hello I recently purchased a Panasonic p50g20 but it had numerous problems and I don't like all the hassle that comes with plasma's. Most of the time instead of just enjoying myself I was worried bout image retention, etc..
So , anyways, I am looking to buy an LED. When I was shopping around for a Plasma in my budget (1100-1500) it became pretty obvious the Panasonic G20 series was the way to go for plasmas. I am hoping there is a similar brand/model that is the "go to" so to speak for this budget? I want at least a 46 inch. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you

Nokia wrote:
You bought into all the Samsung and LG scare tactics for plasmas. Burn-in is no longer a problem for plasmas, except in extreme circumstances. If I were you, I'd stick with a plasma. They still are less expensive for the large sizes, and give a better picture. LCD still can't beat their black levels.
This is not true. Especially when you consider that Samsung churns out some of the best quality plasmas out there. I don't really get the whole black level thing that supposedly makes Panasonics "superior". The black levels on Samsungs are really good. Yes, Panasonics do have better black levels, but the differences are minute. Where Samsung excels is the color saturation. Colors look very, very realistic. I had the PN50B860 series and I was very shocked that I had to make virtually no picture adjustments. I'm very big on faithful colors. Dynamic and oversaturated colors look good for animated and 3d rendered films, but for the rest I like my colors to look natural.
Permanent burn in for plasmas are virtually a thing of the past now. However, they are still plagued with Image Retention problems. This is a big problem for gamers. The IR is not permanent, but it is annoying. It goes away after a few minutes or you can always utilize the pixel washing feature. There are also burn-in prevention steps that you can take. This includes leaving your Plasma running with a constant moving picture for 100 hours, or using the pixel wash for 30 hours. This uniformally ages the pixels and greatly reduces the chances of perm burn-in.
I agree with Nokia on the superior picture quality of Plasmas. LCDs are plagued with motion problems. My biggest issue with LCDs while watching HD content is this phenomena called the "Soap Opera Effect". It used to bug me to no end and I once believed it to be a problem with all HD content. I later found out that this effect is due to the LCDs' judder reduction engines. Watching HD on Plasmas is far more eye pleasing than LCDs.
As for your original question about the best LEDs... Samsung's LED TVs win hands down. One word of caution though, although I'm not familiar with current year models, the 6000 series Samsung LEDs have ghosting issues that they never corrected through firmware updates. The 7 and 8 series did get an update which fixed this issue. Another thing you need to consider is their auto-dimming feature. You can't shut it off and trust me, it gets really annoying. I had the 6 series and the combination of auto-dim and ghosting problems made me quickly return the unit. The redeaming factor is the outstanding picture quality. With some video adjustments and tuning, the picture on this set was outstanding. The best picture quality out of any LED by a good margin.
Vizio also makes good LEDTVs. They are also very affordable. Keep in mind, Vizio LCD screens are made by LG. Their plasmas are made by Panasonic. Panasonic has openly admitted that Vizio buys their seconds which include factory defects. LG doesn't say anything about their relationship with Vizio.
I've seen good Sony LEDTVs as well. Of course, they aren't priced very competitively lol. Verdict: Get a Samsung if you want LED. They deliver the closest picture competition to the best plasmas.

Which reference monitor would you suggest?

I need to buy reference monitors for a home studio, which brand should I get?
Thanks

In that price range, I'd suggest you check out the following monitors. You might be better off trying to find something used so you can get a little more bang for your buck.
M-Audio BX5a Deluxe
Alesis M1 Active MkII
Alesis M1 Active 520
Enjoy!

Which Hardshell case would you recommend ?

Anyone ? I see a lot of contradictory reviews about the speck case

I have both a incase and a speck case both are wonderful. The incase has a more rubbery feel but the speck case is more smooth plastic feel. The incase cover makes you feel like it has a better grip. Less slippage.... It's up to you both are priced about the same. I like the both. No real heat issues with either.

If you didn't have an MP3 player, and the Xtra and the Micro cost the same. what would you g

Lets say the Xtra and the micro cost the same price. You don't have an Mp3 player yet. You still have the knowledge that you have now for both products.
Which mp3 player would you pick and why?

right now i own the micro. If i had the chance to pick again with the knowledge i have now, I would go with the Xtra.
Because before i didn't know anything about bit rate...... I thought the micro could hold up to 2500songs.
I learned that it will only hold about ,030 songs wma 60kb
ps.
NOT COOL.

Thanks for the answer. Didn't realize the 13" MBPs differed from the 15" MBPs. I thought the screen was the only major difference.
Apple fools a lot of people with that. The 13" is really a MacBook and not a "Pro" machine.
The best machine for video editing depends upon what your going to do, full on production or casual home stuff.
A 15" MacBook Pro and a iMac for the casual lightweight stuff and iMove can do the job.
The new MacPro coming out for the heavy duty stuff.
The industry seems to be moving away from Final Cut Pro X as it's been consumerized or something, lacking needed features and moving towards Avid on powerful Mac's or Windows 7 towers.
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2011/07/does-apple-still-care-about-creative-pros/

So perhaps a mix of Avid and Final Cut Pro X if your serious about furthering your career.
