E. Socks for breakfast and wear shredded wheat on your feet?

But scratchy but breakfast doesn’t change much.

Good job you picked France and not Germany, or you could be living with a cereal* killer.

*similar to the other sort, but more inventive with the shredded wheat

A is a bit extreme
B. Yes, it’s B
C. No. Messy.
D. It’s still B, but you can wear socks with sandals. I know an entire nation who would agree with me. 😁

and don't want to let people down but "just can't" go.

Frustrating for everyone. ❀️

Being mildly autistic (although terribly social whilst being socially terrible) with an autistic adult child, I get that.

It can be an overwhelming "I just can't", and it's part of the core of your being and not explainable. They may feel dreadful about the refusal and don't want to miss out,

At #POUG2025, @chandlerdba.bsky.social will walk (or race) us through the trickiest memory issues – from leaks to limits, from WTFs to workarounds.

Brace yourself. It’s gonna get intense and hilariously relatable.

When did I agree to this? Who submitted this talk for goodness sake? I'm sure I didn't. Did I?

(actually, I didn't. It wasn't me. But lets have some fun and learning anyway)

That was fabulous. Everything test cricket should be.

What a mad final wicket too. Really felt for Siraj, but impressed by Stokes reaction to him.

T20 just doesn’t have that sort of tension ALL afternoon. I feel as exhausted as the captain.

SQL Developer Copilot Integration in VSCode & MCP Support for Oracle DB See how the new VSCode Copilot integration accelerates Oracle DB23ai development, and how Oracle Database MCP support enables natural language access for faster collaboration.

You should join @krisrice.io and I for an hour of show and tell in a few weeks. The MCP support has the potential to really change how you work with our Database.

The initial suggestion was that the timeouts were very different. After testing, they aren't and the old algorithm is more like the new one that first suspected. There have been (bug related) changes. I don't think the differences are worth stressing over.

There is a behaviour change between 19C (minus patch) and 19C patched/23ai. However, I cannot say how different it is. All versions exhibited similar timeout characteristics, but I did manage to hit a few unexplained & not repeatable issues in testing (e.g. ORA-04022 with a setting of 0.0001)

Couple of additions to the blog post with a bit more insight into what is taking place, and some insight and guesswork into how the timeout works.

ORA-04021 timeout occurred while waiting to lock object during stats gather I recently came across an interesting change in behaviour when gathering stats. Patch 32781163 (Deadlock on library cache lock on MV refresh and dbms_stats gathering the same object) was applied to…

Have a new Oracle blog post about an unexpected problem and a change to the defaults after applying a patch (which is standard functionality in later releases)
