This year’s last Log Buffer edition looks at the marvelous and splendid blog posts of Oracle, SQL Server, and the MySQL databases, which promise to bring more and more next year. This Log Buffer promises to be the anchor for yet another action packed blogging carnival next year.
Oracle:
Kristin Rose is asking to join hands and hearts this holiday season with Oracle.
Phill Hill has a nice post about transparency in the LMS market.
Luc Bors says that there are two ways to interact with device services. One is by using the page Definition, and the second is by using the API.
Frits Hoogland is discussing some IO-related wait with some friends, and he came up with Oracle 11.2.0.1 and the ‘kfk: async disk IO’ wait event.
When you create an index, Oracle usually does a sort. Andrew Reid read about the NOSORT option recently, which allows Oracle to create an index without doing a sort. He is giving it a try.

Trent Hornibrook is dishing out first sysbench results comparing Amazon AWS RDS instances.
Those who’ve been around the MySQL world are probably aware of the much-discussed topics of GPL licensing, dual licensing, and in particular, licensing of the client libraries and the FOSS exception to that licensing.
