How long does it take to become reasonably proficient in Oracle given SQL Server
In applying for jobs via agents I sometimes get blocked by an agent who says do you know software package X. When I reply that I know the similar package Y they might say unless you know X I cannot put you forward.
The problem is that some of these agents don't know what they talking about, they are merely being used by their clients as a screening filter.
It would be useful to be able to say to these agents that because I know Y I can expect to become reasonably proficient in X in a given number of days/months. However not knowing X determining the required time is why I'm asking this question.
Most recently X was Oracle and Y was SQL Server.
Please can those of you who know both, express an opinion on how long is required to become reasonably proficient? NB I'm not talking about becoming a DBA!
I'll state my bias upfront - Oracle is far more complex than Sql Server. So it depends what you'll be asked to do. You say that this is not for a DBA position but that definition is pretty fluid. At my company, Developers are charged with designing tables, adding the correct indexes, determining partitioning.
If you say, all I'll do is code in java or c# and call packages written by a DBA or Oracle Developer, then you are safe.
But if you take all of your MSSS experience and add semi-colons to the end of your lines you'll kill your Oracle instance. Many standard practices in MSSS are anethema to Oracle. In MSSS it's recommended to have clustered indexes on most every table. In Oracle we build IOTs (Index Organized Tables) only for specific purposes. In MSSS doing DDL in T-SQL is as easy as falling off a log. In Oracle it is made difficult on purpose, it's discouraged and in fact somewhat dangerous. In MSSS you whip off #temp table like they're jelly beans, in Oracle we plan them in advance since they are permanent database objects that aren't just created in the middle of a proc when the logic gets a little tricky.
That said, would you be able to make Oracle do something? Well, yah, but the real question is will it work efficiently and scale to meet the needs of the business your agent placed you at. And that's a resounding no.
If you're being hired as a DBA, it will take a while to switch between databases as the management of them differs (I base this on my experience with Oracle and DB2 only).
I DON'T know SQL Server but I can imagine a Microsoft program with its nice GUI management would be vastly different to managing DB2/z, for example (although you can use the fancy DB2 LUW (Linux/UNIX/Window) tools if you're that way inclined).
If you're just cutting code to use the database, the SQL differences are minor (relatively). That shouldn't take much time at all, assuming you're already proficient with SQL.
I've done SQL Server for 10 years, but started working with Oracle about a year and a half ago. Like any database, there's no magical proficiency point - you just learn more about it the more you use it. In terms of what a developer would need to know, it shouldn't take more than a week (and even that's a bit much) for an experienced developer to get up to speed with using it. We eventually got to the point where I was the only one using TOAD, and everyone else was using SqlDeveloper. Avoid TOAD.
I went from SQL Server to Oracle in 2001 where I went from working on a VB6/SQL Server project (as a developer) to working as an Oracle development DBA for a large J2EE project. Here are the edited highlights of my experiences and some reflections.
For development, the basic principle of SQL is not radically differnt. T-SQL is a somewhat different beast to PL/SQL so the idioms are a bit different. Most competent programmers should be able to make the jump by just tinkering around and getting some good SQL server books such as the Guru's Guide or Oracle books such as Expert one-on-one Oracle, depending on which way you're going.
I'd say for a developer a week or two to get used to another database platform will get you most of the way there. The basic principles are fairly similar (modulo differences in the architecture); really only the window dressing is different. However guild wars 2 gold, if you're going to Oracle, get a copy of a third-party query tool such as TOAD as these are much, much, much better than the ones that Oracle supplies.
Agents are notoriously bad for matching specific buzzwords and I get this on a semi-regular basis (I'm a contractor). If you need to bone up on SQL Server the Developer Edition is very cheap and will install on a desktop O/S such as Windows XP. Oracle also offers Free downloads for all their supported platforms that you can use to tinker.
You might also get some mileage from asking a stackoverflow question along the lines of "What are the main idiomatic differences between PL/SQL and T-SQL".
If all you want to do is put a bullet point on your resume to get past the agents, just add it, that will get you past the agents and give you a chance to get your foot in the door. If you are an honest type, grab Oracle XE, Read the appropriate guide at the documentation library, and spend a day or 5 throwing together a blog/address book/flickr clone/etc in your favorite language against Oracle.
As others have suggested there is some significant difference in things you would do compared to SQL Server, if you just apply what you know from SQL Server to Oracle gw2 gold, you'll likely kill performance.
I would disagree that the SQL is similar. The SQL SYNTAX is similar (to the lowest common denominator of ANSI) for basic CRUD development. But actually building packages, writing multi-table / multi step joins, bulk updates and inserts, use of the rich and powerful Oracle feature set is very different from SQL Server wow gold. This takes a different mindset and can take many years to master guild wars 2 gold. However.
The purpose of the CV / resume is to get an interview.
Work with your agent to highlight your best TALENTS and BEHAVIOUR'S, not purely skills.
Skill's can be learnt and taught. A talent for, and the demonstration of, learning new skills in new environments is gold dust for an employer.
Don't try to blag it. Don't lie. You'll be found out guild wars 2 gold. Use your experience gained from SQL Server to demonstrate that you can solve the problem. Show eagerness to learn, train and graft.

Finding The Best World of Warcaft Gold Guide
Carlos Castro
World of Warcraft gold guides are a dime a dozen, that's why it's so important to do some research to find out which ones are considered the best ones. Before I purchase mine I usually do a web search to try and find reviews. This is good because it gives you a basic rundown of the good and the bad of the guide. Then I get all the reviews and try and figure out which one has the most positive reviews.
Another way is I do a forum search and see what other gamers have to say about a particular guide wow gold kopen. This is ok as well, but it is a little tedious and takes alot of time. If there are no threads about a particular guide, I might register and ask about the guide to see what kind of feedback I get. This too takes alot of time because the response is usually slow. This is because the vast minority of gamers don't have World of Warcraft gold guides.
Another method I used was to read the testimonials that were provided on the sales page of the website. The problem with that is obvious - Who knows if they are sincere testimonials. It's still a good idea to check them out, sometimes the testimonials have emails or other websites that you can use to contact the person and you can ask them about the guide wow gold ideal. I have found that is the best way to get an idea of what your buying when looking for a good World of Warcraft gold guide.
Because of the difficulty that I had in finding good reviews and opinions of World of Warcraft gold guides I created site that will hopefully prove useful for other WoW gamers who had as much trouble as I did. World of Warcraft Gold Guide Database goes a long way to shortening WoW gamers search. On the site are reviews by owners of the WoW gold guides you might be considering, they are reviewed by gamers themselves without editorial input wow po, that way the reviews are unbiased. I hope World of Warcraft Gold Guide Database comes in handy for the scrutinizing gamer wow gold po. Good luck wow gold!

Beadseller on Internet Search Engines
about 10 or so years ago. I would also like to mention that every page opened instantly. I used the internet as a venue for research. I had an Adam Computer too! *humpf*In mid January 2005, I found Overstock. not by chance mind you. A dear friend of mine had tried for months to talk me into trying Overstock. Beadwitched. I would love to say that I sell more than I buy gw2 gold, however, that doesn seem to be the case. So there I was, sitting on over $20,000 worth of beads and beading supplies selling them at about $2 per pack on Overstock. WOW. Talk about a get rich quick scheme!I started listing even more. still not adjusting my prices. that was what people wanted to pay. so either make the nickel or not. January reaped just over $500 in sales. February jumped to $1,500. March jumped even further. $2,400. I thought that since I had so many valued customers, I would return some of that value to them and bond my products. Fortunately. the service was free through September 2005. But it did NOTHING Acheter Des PO. absolutely NOTHING for my sales!In reality. my sales plummeted! By the end of May. I felt doomed! I picked up two new customers. and heard barely a dribble from the rest. my sales for May were a whopping $382! Where did all my customers go?!?!? What was I doing wrong?!?!?With all this in mind. back in March of this year, I decided to give my own ecommerce site a try. Don get me wrong. at first I thought it was merely a pipe dream. After all. I paid for three years of webhosting back in March and it took until the middle of August to finally have a website up and running!In February, 2005, I started out with shopping around to find the least expensive hosting site. *laughing*Next came the HTML HELL. The last time I actually wrote any HTML was about 8 years ago, when HTML was just that. HTML. Nothing fancy. Actually, it was pretty easy to learn. I was self taught then but the book was ohhhhhh so much thinner than the newer models!So, I read and researched and read and researched and read some more. I purchased a template for $49 and proceeded from there. What I didn know when I purchased the template was that it was not written in language compatible with my host. NOT!!! It was a NIGHTMARE! But again. I forged ahead. Looking at the walls of drawers of beads, I should probably try to sell what I have before I drive myself out of shop/office and HOME!Speaking of Late March. Well. after working with the same attorney for 7 years. she called me into her office to say that things were just not working out. WHAT?!? What does that mean???? How could it possibly take someone SEVEN YEARS to decide that THINGS ARE JUST NOT WORKING OUT?!?!? You would think that if things were JUST NOT WORKING OUT. that would have happened say. WEEK ONE!This could not have happened at a worse time! I had just taken out a mortgage on my home two months before so I could purchase beads and beading supplies! The beads and beading supplies were and are still sitting here staring at me!Back to the store wow gold po. so. I worked diligently, day and night trying to create my webstore. I would complete umteen pages and then notice that I didn correct the font color on the previous 10 or so pages. So. what was she on??? Three days later, GEICO completed the estimate of damages totaling over $4,000. I don think that my neck will ever be the same wow gold. My right shoulder still hurts. I require an operation on my right knee. Fifty now feels more like seventy!The accident put a halt to website work. I couldn sit for very long without severe pain. My lower back and neck were hurting all the time. I would wake up at times with very little feeling in my arms or legs. I was not fairing well at all!In mid July, I once again returned to working diligently on the site. I chose Paypal wow gold kopen. This required more reading and more research. some more reading and research. some crying. and more reading and more crying and more research. The word PAL in Paypal has nothing to do with the setting up of its shopping cart! I was becoming more and more frustrated. but again. I finally weeded through the poorly written instructions and managed to get the cart to work. on ONE item. WOW. only about 1,000 more to go! *HA* After reading and researching this phenomena, I realized that I had used the wrong cart set up and somehow managed to hook up over 100 items in much the same fashion. WRONG!So. after crying some more and relieving my scalp of a few swatches of hair, I once again forged ahead. please. don applaud. what I really need you to do is THROW MONEY!Now I was cruising. hooking up each and every individual item to this shopping cart contraption. MY PAL. my buddy. my GOD! I sent out my mass mailing to almost 350 of my regular customers announcing the GRAND OPENING OF. BEADSELLER on August 18, 2005. FREE SHIPPING offered to the first 10 completed orders!I picked this particular day to open because first. it was the soonest I could get the site done. and second. sitting at my computer. email open. sitting. watching. sitting. watching. watching. sitting. I feel a distinctive sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. or maybe this feeling came from the fact that I had not moved from my chair in three days! Finally. on the fourth day. a sale!!! I might add. the shipping on this sale cost me almost as much as what was purchased! Well. not making money is why I do this right? *HA*Day Five. still NOTHING. then it occurs to me. hmm. maybe I should review my html and see whether I bothered to enter any keywords and meta stuff. NOTHING. *waaaaaa*So. I start researching again. which brings me to this blog. unless you pay for the service to submit your site. don expect to have much traffic! Which in turn means. yet another NOT RICH QUICK scheme!Yahoo will let you submit an url for free. but to be listed in their directory. if I remember correctly. a mere $299 a year. WOW. only $299 a year?!?!?!? Even MSN let me submit my site for FREE! And being penny poor. if I were independently wealthy. ifa. woulda. coulda. WOW. these are fantastic resources. You see. after all the reading and research. everyone selling the website submission service tells you that the more places you are linked to, the more you move up in rank. Well. while reviewing all of the webrings. I forgot the rank issue and became extremely interested in the fact that there are literally a gillion WebRings! I was amazed with all of the RINGS that actually revolved around what I sell and what I love. BEADS and ARTISAN JEWELRY! WOOO HOOO!So. even if I don sell much. I have found that there are literally thousands of others out there in cyberspace who have huge shoulders available to cry upon. Gotta love those webring heroes and heroins!Well. that quite enough for now. if you should be reading this and happen to buy beads and beading supplies. give me a try.
Beadseller. That me!Hi~ I Donna aka Beadseller~ I have been working with beads and jewelry making supplies for nearly 20 years. It took me that long to finally open my own ecommerce store.

How To Choose A Rock Climbing Harness gw2 gold ud
How To Choose A Rock Climbing Harness
Choosing the proper rock climbing harness is one of the most critical decisions you will have to make to succeed a safe and exciting climbing. Apart from where you will choose to climb, either indoor in artificially climbing rocks or outdoor, your harness should fit your climbing style and technique as well as your body shape. A harness is especially designed to tie you up with the climbing rope offering maximum safety and comfort and enabling your body movements. You will have to consider a few key parameters before purchasing the right harness for you. In particular:
1. Climbing styles and Techniques
The various climbing styles demand specific harnesses; you will need a different one when you will be climbing indoor for one or two hours and a different one when you will do an outside climbing that may last more than 15 hours gw2 gold. Specifically:
- They so called Big Wall harnesses are mostly used from climbers executing consecutive pitches many times per day. For that reason wow gold, they are especially cushioned on the waist and leg loops to relieve most of the pressure caused by climbing and hanging. Moreover wow gold kopen, they can ease you with the rest of your gear featuring a powerful loop in the back side.
