		<title>Crab Cakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being more or less &#8216;from Maryland&#8217; I am always on the lookout for a good crabcake. I was a busboy briefly at Thompson’s Sea Girt House when I was a teenager, which at the time had, according to Esquire Magazine, the World&#8217;s Best Crabcake. Mr. Thompson passed away quite some time ago so he might [...]]]></description>

		<title>Template::Extract</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I ran across the Template::Extract module while reading Spidering Hacks on the O&#8217;Reilly Hacks site and realized that I may have found the tool I need to migrate sites from Dreamweaver sites to a CMS backed system such as OpenACS (in as lazy a way as possible). What&#8217;s needed is really simple &#8211; just need [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Warlord&#8217;s Son</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just finished reading  I got from my Dad for Christmas.  I suppose a lot of people read up on Afghani/Pakistani culture  immediately after 9/11 to gain some understanding of what might drive people to commit such an attack on America.  I decided to read  to gain some historical perspective on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Identify unsupported types for  logical standby in Oracle 10G</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An important step in creating a logical standby of your Oracle 10G database when using dataguard is to ensure that all the data is compatible.
These two queries will help you quickly spot what you need:
select distinct owner, table_name from dba_logstdby_unsupported order by owner, table_name;
select owner, table_name, bad_column from dba_logstdby_not_unique where table_name not in   [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s magic! (rman knows the LIKE command)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well maybe not exactly magic, but pretty nice nonetheless. In the previous entry I discussed managing the standby archivelogs (in the flashback recovery area). If you are running everything with a catalog database and have a primary and a standby, the primary and standby are pretty much identical except in the flashback area:
/path/to/flashback/archivelog/$DB_UNIQUE_NAME/data/files
so on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deleting archivelog on physical standby with RMAN in Oracle 10g</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Turns out to be quite easy actually. I do backups from the primary database to a local drive and have been puzzled how to delete the standby archive logs after they ship. The &#8216;obvious&#8217; solution is the documented feature in RMAN:
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY
However,  that didn&#8217;t work when I originally [...]]]></description>

		<title>The &#8216;which database&#8217; debate continues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Talli pointed out some interesting links right as I am in the middle of reconsidering the oracle/mysql/postgresql &#8211; which is better debate. With the newly released mysql5.0 and oracle&#8217;s investment in their innodb technology, it looks like a killer platform, but postgresql 8.0 has some killer features and I&#8217;ve always liked the more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using RMAN to restore archivelog gaps on Oracle 10G with physical standby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the databases I support is an Oracle 10G instance on Windows 2003 Server running in a physical standby configuration. One thing I still need to tweak is how archive logs get deleted on the standby machine. I can&#8217;t see how to get RMAN to address the archivelogs on the other machine. Well, the [...]]]></description>
