These days I meet many people who talk about how they have a project to find an AI-plattform to use on-premises. Using it in the cloud on Autonomous it is pretty obvious that you use one in a handful of AI-services Oracle has at your disposal there. The question is what you should use to…
This tip is especially useful when migrating to autonomous. The reason is that to enable the magic of the the autonomous database there are things that cannot be done. One such thing is that there are a lot of session settings you cannot use. To see what APIs you can no longer use you can…

Sometimes new things that are really useful show up in new versions and you can miss it if you’r not paying close attention. EZ Connect Plus is one such feature for me. You may think it is not new and that it has been there for a long time. You’d be correct EZ Connect is…

This turned into a miniseries. First it was about focusing on a cell and then on entering the cell in edit mode, but I figure there is a related thing one might want to do. You could want to read the data in a cell once the Interactive Grid (IG) has been loaded. Maybe you…

A recent post talked about setting up a Base DB Service in OCI and finished with logging into the OS of the srvice and there connecting to the DB. What we often want to do is to be able to connect to it directly from our own computer to use the tools and workflow we…
I recently wrote about how you set focus on a certain cell in an interactive grid. As often is the case, a solution may work well in many cases but there are some cases where something additional is needed. Say that getting one cell in an interactive grid is what you of want, but some…
You may already have one or two free autonomous databases at OCI. Why then would you want a lower tier database offering, a database that is not autonomous? It turns out there are many reasons why you may want this. No matter what your reason is, setting it up is pretty easy. One thing before…

When an interactive grid is populated with data, most of the time the default setup is great. But for certain applications you know that the user will want to have a certain cell on a certain row in the grid being in focus. Sure you can leave it and just let the user click on…
If you are working with Python and using the oracledb driver you may suddenly encounter DPI -1032 – “user name and password cannot be set when using external authentication”. The issue is with using a wallet for authentication. I encountered it on a server where the version of the oracedb-driver had been slightly upgraded. It…

This post is part of a series that starts with this post. Withy having looked at a bunch of things we can do with something as simple as an Auto-REST enabled view up to and including adding security, I just want to finish off with showing that having a view in the first place is…
