Retail distributor Metcash, owner of IGA distribution and IGA Fresh, this week revealed it had migrated to Oracle's Database 11g from 10.2g earlier this year.
When an Oracle customer needs an answer, they send Tom Kyte. As one of the company's foremost database experts and author of the blog Ask Tom, Kyte spoke to ZDNet.com.au about database history and strange Oracle issues.

Canadian phone company Research in Motion (RIM) launched its first HSDPA BlackBerry in Sydney today, the BlackBerry Bold, with Vodafone, Optus and Telstra confirming they will carry the handset.
Oracle president Charles Phillips played tour guide Monday, pointing out virtualisation and the company's application integration architecture (AIA) as two key areas to watch for this year as the software giant moves forward in building its "stack."
The latest and greatest version of the Oracle database, 11g Release 2, was made available recently and as the resident technical person, it fell to me to take it for a spin. Little did I realise the hell that I had just walked into.
Recently, HP released its largest ever range of printers at its Go Print 2.0 Conference in Shanghai. ZDNet.com.au's photo gallery gives you the complete range, along with comparisons, prices and release dates.
If wireless network problems are leaving you befuddled, these valuable tips can help you make a better connection.
As the 802.11n standard gets closer to final ratification, enterprises are beginning to wonder how this may impact their Wireless LAN strategy in the coming year and beyond. For organisations that may choose to deploy 802.11n, it will have serious upgrade implications for both the infrastructure and the client side.
Draft N (of the upcoming 802.11n standard) is the latest in wireless networking, and while 802.11n is not finally ratified, it does promise better speed, throughput, range and dependability. Is it worth its current premium price? We explore the promise and availability of Draft N gear on the Australian market.
Just about everything to do with this wireless router and print server is extremely easy to use. If you're looking for an 802.11g router and want a simple life, the Belkin Wireless G Router with Built-In USB Print Server comes highly recommended.
A great little all-in-one network connectivity and security device that offers good value for money and is perfect for a small office or branch/regional office deployment. You would be hard pressed to pass by the 890 family of ISR devices from Cisco.
The Dell Inspiron 15 is likely the best bang for buck you'll get for AU$1000, from its battery life to its upgrade options. We do miss the numpad, but the rest is perfect for the budget-conscious user.
The Compaq Presario CQ61-217 adds a little bit of extra quality to the sub-AU$1000 market, though sacrifices on its network capability. For AU$799 though, it's a steal, and if you're not concerned by some of the lacking components, this one's a good buy.
MSI's VR603 is a perfectly fine budget laptop marred by the use of the Sentelic touchpad.
We like the Toshiba Satellite L500D, it's amazing value for its price. However, we think it's worth paying the extra AU$200 for the version with the less power hungry GPU.
