I've been asked by the publishers to review "Oracle Database 11g Release 2: Performance Tuning Tips and Techniques" by Richard Niemiec of TUSC. Conclusion: it is good but not perfect. This is an extended version of the review I put up on Amazon.

The following business events are disabled as default by Oracle.
For any custom process those can be enabled by users. But only extract and postprocessing events will be called in document mode.
Custom code / package can be used as a subscription to the respective business event.

oracle.apps.xla.accounting.preaccounting  - To identify the events, which will be processed by create accounting
oracle.apps.xla.accounting.extract        - To populate the transaction objects only for the events in xla_events_gt

Dependency Oracle schema is the place where all the Database objects get stored. This make a room for the entire set of objects under the Category of Data Storage ( Tables, Views) and Data Access (Stored Procedure ,Functions ,Packages and Triggers) .These Objects make a reference across all these objects to form the application.This is known as dependency.

Conventional Dependency Model If an Object B is being referrd from object A (ie Object A refers another Object B) , Object A is known as Dependant Object and Object B is Known as referenced Object.

Hello,

It gives me great pleasure and honour to announce my upcoming book Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Professional Guide with Pact Publishers. The book 'Oracle Advanced PL/SQL Developer Professional Guide' is focussed on the preparation of OCP (1Z0-146) examination. The book doesn't restricts its scope to the examination but aims to strengthen the advanced concepts in Oracle 11g PL/SQL.

The book has been reviewed by Oracle ACEs Kamran Agayev, Ronald Rood and Mohan Dutta. It is under production and is expected to be released by May, 2012.

Basics of Partition Tables

Partitioning is a method of splitting an object (a table or index) into separate parts (called partitions) based on some criterion that is assigned to the partition. The criterion might be a date range, a number range, or any other possible value. Imagine, for example, that you have a huge table that is driving you crazy because queries on it are really slow. You get so mad at this table that you take a logical hatchet and begin to slice the table up into many smaller tables is a partition.

The old Oracle join syntax really should be consigned to history.

Subledger Accounting / Financials Accounting Hub uses dynamic package to generate the journal entries.
Depending on the rules (AMB Setup and Event Model) the dynamic package will be created, when the Validate Application Accounting Definition program has been run.
The package will be generated with the naming convension XLA_{5DIGIT_APPL_ID}_AAD_{SEED_CUSTOM}_{6DIGIT_AAD_HASH}_PKG.
AAD_HASH value will be found in xla_product_rules_b.product_rule_hash_id.

   SELECT 'XLA_' || lpad(application_id,5,'0') || '_AAD_' || 
          product_rule_type_code || '_' || lpad(product_rule_hash_id,6,'0') || '_PKG'
   FROM xla_product_rules_b
   WHERE application_id = &p_appl_id
   AND amb_context_code = NVL('&amb_context_code','DEFAULT')
   AND product_rule_code = '&aad_code';
