Oracle Open World Day 2

Here's my schedule for Tuesday:

  • NoSQL and the Oracle Relational Database
  • Information Lifecycle Management in OLTP Databases with Partitioning: Best Practices
  • A Day in the Life of a Real-World Performance Engineer: Part 2
So today might have seemed like a pretty easy day, and from a strictly sessions stand-point, it was. However, there were some other things on my agenda today as well. There are TWO large exhibition hall with people hocking their software and services. Oracle also had a signifiant number of kiosks, staffed with functional experts on basically every piece of software; these are collectively called the "Demo Grounds". Oracle also blocks off about 90 minutes in the afternoon strictly to allow attendees to wander through these areas, so that's what I did. 

Among the more interesting conversations I had was with RedHat regarding their BRMS product that we use. I also stopped by the Quest Software booth (they are owned by Dell now!) and the Amazon AWS booth (which hosts the house3543.net site). I also stopped by the Mentis site to discuss their data masking software, which may or may not be needed any longer, with Oracle's release of the DBMS_REDACT package in RDBMS 12c. 

I know I'm posting these updates about 24 hours AFTER they happen, however, I only have so much time to write AND my schedule is in flux on a session by session basis. I did register for a large number of sessions, but I also wanted to make sure I'm staying topical, so I've been surfing for last minute changes according to my interests and whims.

Tariffs are bad for you.

Headlines from today state that the new Trump administration will put a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico, and Canada. Additionally, a 10% tariff on goods imported from China.  A tariff is a fee charged by the Federal government on goods coming into the country. That fee is paid by the importer, not the exporter.  For example, Target wants to sell PlayStation in their stores, so they purchase them from Sony, who builds these in China. Target receives the shipment of PlayStations, where they will be charged the tariff. Target pays the tariff to the Government to receive these goods.  Target then must decide how to recoup the additional fees. They can either choose to eat the cost and reduce their revenue, or they can increase the selling cost. The outcome is a combination of the two.  As a result, consumer prices, specifically for food and cars are going to go up. And businesses lose money by having to pay tariffs and selling few items.   For th...
