Oracle Articles and White Papers

By Hervé Deschamps, Oracle Corporation.


Preface

Over the years I have been writing a few articles and utilities. Some of them were published in the professional press. I do all this in my copious "spare" time so I hope that you will forgive me for the imperfections. When you find any area that could use improvements please mention it to me - I always appreciate the feedback. Also, the further down the list you go the older the article. I always keep the old version because there are still people out there using Designer 1.3.2.! So when I get around to doing it I produce a new version that works with the new versions of our development tools.

Also, just about any problem can be resolved in several ways. With time I learn new techniques. I could go back to all my previous articles and update them with the latest cools stuff I find. I do it sometimes, when I have nothing else to do. But here again, I do this in my spare time so I often chose to keep moving forward instead of spending time maintaining my previous writings. An excellent example of this is the web page that refreshes itself. The first time I came across this challenge I resolved it in JavaScript with a timer.
