Ninety percent of my writing falls under the ‘database umbrella’ of topics. But from time to time, I do like to stretch my legs and exercise my writing muscles by talking about other things like Twitter, blogging, consumer products, etc.
So if you’re a friend or family member and want to get to know me better, or just check out this ‘blog thing’, here are some posts that you might find interesting.

What is the best data migration tool from Oracle? I am migrating and integrating complex Product Data (meta data management), and I believe in Oracle products. Since you are a db guru!, I am thinking you can advise. Examples might be SQL Developer for reverse engineering, then Oracle Data Warehouse. I have worked with 15 software languages and 10 dbms systems and types. Wondering what your take is. Open to any level of complexity needed. Data transformations are required and managing the integrations with SOA are in scope, but the focus is the migration and integration of the data with the BEST tools and methodology I can come up with. I can mention about 6, but dont want to bias you. Thanks. pjr (oops, forgot to check the EmailNotification box

Our primary data migration tool from 3rd party database platforms (SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, etc.) is Oracle SQL Developer.
Where is your data coming from?
What sort of applications will have you to migrate?
I need more information before I can make any real recommendations.

Is there a way to add to the lists of key words that SQL Developer does special highlighting on?
I’m using 3.0.04 and it highlights XMLElement but not XMLAgg.
I had expected them to be stored in an XML file somewhere, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

We get the list of keywords from our database docs.
I’d tell you to upgrade to v3.2.20, but I just tried XMLAgg in that version and it’s not highlighted as a keyword either.

Jeff,
I desperately a ‘Toad for Dummies’ type of book. I do not know SQL and I am trying to learn as much as possible about creating queries using the gooey in Toad.
Can you suggest any tutorials, books, pamphets…anything at all…to help me get started?
Thank you!

I wrote such a book, although it’s pretty old.
Or you could use SQL Developer instead and read my posts here…eventually I’ll condense those into a free PDF book.
