    Oracle LOB in Symfony2 und Doctrine2 mittels OCI8-Extension: Die Stolpersteine erkennen

    Oracle LOB in Symfony2 mit OCI-Lob Klasse nutzbar zu machen, ist nicht ganz einfach. Unter anderem die Unterstützung von Large Objects (LOB) hat in Doctrine2 einige Fallstricke, z.B. das Cachen von Queries, welches nicht ganz so optimal mit php_streams umgehen kann.

  • What will be the future of MySQL against the backdrop of the Oracle acquisition?

    The German Oracle User Association (DOAG e.V.) has published a statement (in German) about the acquisition of Sun/MySQL by Oracle and its impact for Oracle users. You can find the statement here.   Oh and btw, I’ll give a session about „PHP5 & Oracle“ at the local Oracle usergroups in Frankfurt on June, 23rd and…

  • Oracle with PHP and PDO

    A few weeks ago, I was holding a PHP training for a customer who’s using the Oracle database on a regular basis. My boss and I agreed on teaching the Oracle database connection with PDO (instead of the MySQL database connection we usually teach in trainings).
