@dannorris I had three papers accepted for IOUG but just realized I won’t be able to make it. It’s only an hour from my house, too. ;-( in reply to dannorris#
Opinions requested: DAY_DIMENSION - PK should be numeric key or date? If numeric, sequence or YYYYMMDD? #
@neilkod Kimball style star schema. Large fact, smaller dimensions. If we use date, how do we represent an unknown date in the fact table? in reply to neilkod#

@fuadar Thanks. I like the number solution also but am concerned about partition pruning. in reply to fuadar#

I guess if IBM buys sun, that’s the death of Solaris, Sparc and MySQL? Actually, IBM might set it free. And Java - real OSS? #
Anyone in tampa familiar with nola cafe? I just realized I work very near it. I think I remember someone mentioning that is was very good. #

@serge_a_storms Well, I’ve got JDE and that’s working but I haven’t use eclipse. I figured if Jdev does it, at least I used that previously, in reply to serge_a_storms#
@joaooliveira I meant just fire up an AMI and install Oracle yourself. Works fine for dev/test. Need the official AMI for prod, though. in reply to joaooliveira#
@joaooliveira If you’re going for production, I guess you’ll have to wait for Oracle to push them. For dev/test, oracle runs fine on centos in reply to joaooliveira#
