Kevin Closson's Blog: Platforms, Databases and Storage

I’ve had several people ask me questions recently about topics I’ve covered in at least a few of my Exadata Storage Server related posts. When I asked them if they’d seen a particular post, they’ve generally responded, “No, I didn’t know that post existed”, or words to that effect. So, this may seem odd, but in addition to updating my Exadata Posts page, I’ve pasted handy URLs to my Exadata related posts below. I wish there was time to add to the set of posts. I do have plenty of material queued up, but I’m scrambling for time. In the meantime, perhaps a few readers will appreciate the content pointed to by these URLs:
