I have read some blog postings concerning the new perfmon counters, but I have not seen really extensive overviews yet. In this post, I would like to present not only what is new, but also what has changed (or not) and how to find it. The first step is to select all objects in SQL2008R2 and SQL2012 from the view sys.dm_os_performance_counters.

I had the opportunity to spend two days in England (Birmingham) to participate in the UKOUG 2012. My first day was the Middleware sunday. This event is related to technical content and feedback for WebLogic administrators. It was an interesting day with useful feedback related to Oracle WebLogic.

I spent three interesting days at the DOAG Konferenz 2012 - the German Oracle User Group's conference. It was the 25th birthday and my first time as a DOAG Konferenz speaker. In this post, I will not talk about my presentation, but rather give you information from the sessions I went to. I will talk about three areas: Oracle WebLogic 12c, monitoring & diagnostics, and licensing.

I am in the train back to Basel (Switzerland) and I will try to summarize the day spent on a SIG Oracle Middleware of the DOAG (German Oracle User Group) session related to Oracle Middleware administration and monitoring.

Today, no keynote, we went directly to the sessions. Therefore I have scheduled my day around 3 goals:  SQL Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 and Parallel Datawarehouse, with the new features in the release AU3.

Today was the real beginning of the TechEd with several sessions in parallel. So let's have a look to what the program was...

This morning, I was very happy to go to my first TechEd.

Between the 10 seminars, as I said yesterday, I started with SQL Server 2008R2/2012 performance, tuning and optimization session. The thing is that we had just one session for the whole day.

Le marché du Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) devenant de plus en plus important avec des produits tels que Imperva, Guardium ou Sentrigo, je me suis intéressé au produit Oracle Database Firewall, qu'Oracle présente comme un substitut aux différents acteurs du marché des DAMs.

Nowadays, MySQL Databases are encapsulated into many mission critical software solutions. Lots of companies host one or many MySQL databases in their data center, sometimes even without knowing it except when the MySQL service is not available anymore. In order to increase the service availability, it is mandatory to have a monitoring solution. Regardless of if you are using MySQL Server, MySQL replication or cluster, the Oracle/MySQL monitoring solution is called MySQL Enterprise Monitor.
