Log Buffer: Marching from 2013 to 2014

Posted in: Technical Track

Pythian’s cherished Log Buffer carnival is celebrating the year 2013, while looking passionately towards yet another promising year for 2014. So much digital water has flown under the bridges in 2013, and Log Buffer covered it all from the eyes of bloggers across database technologies like Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and big data.

Almost 50 Log Buffer episodes in year 2013 threw light on new releases of software, cool features, elucidating obscure technical corners, conferences stories, database news, quirks, nifty tricks, trivia, and much more.

Log Buffer remained focused on every facet of database technology, and while doing so, noticed that there were a few salient technologies which interested bloggers and their readers a lot. Some of these technologies and areas were old and some new.

One evergreen area of interest for the database bloggers is discussing performance tuning. This is the one area of databases where the interest carried on from the past year, remaining hot throughout the year and will be the center of discussion next year.

The hot topics this year among the database bloggers will include big data, Cloud Computing, Engineered Systems, and the new version of Oracle database 12c.  Regardless of the database vendor, bloggers loved to explore, discuss, share, and present about these brave new bleeding edge technologies which are still evolving.

One prime takeaway from the Log Buffer carnival is the unique ability of the database bloggers to set the tone of the technology. Database vendors take these bloggers very seriously and improve their offerings based on the blog posts and resulting discussions. There is so much to learn, and database blog posts are a quick and efficient way to stay on top of the ever-changing and ever-evolving data oriented technologies.

Log Buffer is all geared up to keep encompassing all things data related in 2014. Stay tuned.

About the Author

I have been in love with Oracle blogging since 2007. This blogging, coupled with extensive participation in Oracle forums, plus Oracle related speaking engagements, various Oracle certifications, teaching, and working in the trenches with Oracle technologies has enabled me to receive the Oracle ACE award. I was the first ever Pakistani to get that award. From Oracle Open World SF to Foresight 20:20 Perth. I have been expressing my love for Exadata. For the last few years, I am loving the data at Pythian, and proudly writing their log buffer carnivals.
