I’m an engineer that works in manufacturing software (MES, databases, reporting). Interested in robotics, space exploration, physics, and technology.
Wow that’s lame!

Why even bother creating AI content, when it will mostly feed into AI that doesn’t give hits/views/clicks and the ad revenue to pay for itself?

Sounds awesome! I hope there will be a recording available. I’ll be in west coast traffic at 7.

Thanks for this! I always thought too how annoying it was to have to figure out in a list of 20 columns which one to change. Massive improvement!

Is that half an hour, or comma separator for decimal?

I wish there was an easy way to find everything marked legacy. This tool on GitHub is very useful also. github.com/OliverLemm/a...

Well, ChatGPT will do your homework for you, and will happily answer the same question a million times. Humans rightfully don’t want to do either.

Perhaps it was my interpretation when i last looked up the url syntax and saw it referred to as “legacy” docs.oracle.com/en/database/...
App Builder User's Guide
f?p URL Syntax is a legacy syntax that creates a unique URL structure that identifies the address of Oracle APEX, the application ID, page number, and session ID.

Is changing it yourself a paywalled feature?

Hm well I’m on 22.2 still. I am planning to upgrade and I was sure I’d seen somewhere that numeric URL’s were deprecated, and friendly url would be the path forward. I reread all the release notes from 23.1 to 24.2 and couldn’t find it though. Don’t think it was my imagination (shrug)

However that makes sending letters more difficult in rural areas. Not sure the best answer. Happy with it being a service, but there could probably be *some* waste reduction.

I do still miss a few things 1) ability to get column names from the results grid, or expand select *, to easily write a select query. 2) can’t select all / copy all easily from the results grid.

Excellent release! I’ve migrated to VS Code for almost everything, and this release really makes an improvement for some of the missing items (commit/rollback, folders). The only thing I use the Java one for anymore is when I need to change things in the scheduler.

I need an AI to translate that for me. Hopefully it can figure out what language is being used here.

Actually I think you’re the robot.

In my experience, it’s natural that a front end like react would use REST, but a backend in Go would talk to the database with a driver library (no official option yet). Granted this can work, but I’m curious about performance for a server level application.
March 29, 2025 at 3:22 PM
Ahhh ok thank you for that! We normally are in a single workspace so didn’t even think of it.

Hmm this is how I read it.
Commands:
1) curl command creates a table using a HTTP endpoint similar to ORDS.
2) mosquitto_pub sends an MQTT message to topic “db/append/example” which routes the message to the correct database table.
3) curl is used to read the table using HTTP like ORDS

I recently found this database called Machbase Neo (have not tried it) but it claims you can publish messages right to the database. Interesting idea and I don’t have to maintain another application www.machbase.com/en/post/how-...

Do you mean broker or client? From my understanding the broker just stores messages in queues, based on configuration. Example might be RabbitMQ which I’ve used. A client program (Python, etc) then reads the queue and processes it, like collect data and post.
