Re: Select failover ORA-25401 when data is imported from an export on a RAC cluster - oracle-l - FreeLists

Re: Select failover ORA-25401 when data is imported from an export on a RAC cluster - oracle-l - FreeLists: "The first issue is that in 10.2, the server-side service-level settings will override the client-side settings. So, you'll need to consult the DBA_SERVICES view (specifically the FAILOVER_TYPE column) to determine if the IUAT_TAF1.ascentanalytics.com service is configured for SELECT failover. If you need to modify the service, consult DBMS_SERVICE.MODIFY_SERVICE."

Letter from Japan: I ♥ Novels: Reporting & Essays: The New Yorker

Letter from Japan: I ♥ Novels: Reporting & Essays: The New Yorker: "The cell-phone novel, or keitai shosetsu, is the first literary genre to emerge from the cellular age. For a new form, it is remarkably robust. Maho i-Land, which is the largest cell-phone-novel site, carries more than a million titles, most of them by amateurs writing under screen handles, and all available for free. According to the figures provided by the company, the site, which also offers templates for blogs and home pages, is visited three and a half billion times a month."

IEEE Spectrum: 25 Microchips That Shook the World

IEEE Spectrum: 25 Microchips That Shook the World: "For each chip, we describe how it came about and why it was innovative, with comments from the engineers and executives who architected it. And because we’re not the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, we didn’t order the 25 chips chronologically or by type or importance; we arbitrarily scattered them on these pages in a way we think makes for a good read. History is messy, after all."
