I’m surprised to find that Google is not cleanly ranking the helpful set of blog posts by Oracle’s Maria Colgan on the Oracle Database 12c In-Memory Column Store feature so I thought I’d put together this convenient set of links. Google search seems to only return a few of them in random order.
Over time I may add other helpful links regarding Oracle’s new, exciting caching technology.

In-Memory Product That Requires Proprietary Storage?
How could the brand of storage matter for an in-memory cache feature? Good question.
Fellow Oaktable Network member Christian Antognini has produced a very important article regarding how Oracle Database 12c In-Memory Column Store with Real Application Clusters is questionable unless using Oracle storage (Exadata, SPARC SuperCluster). I found Christian’s article very interesting because, after all, the topic at hand is an in-memory cache product (a.k.a., In-Memory Column Store). I fail to see any technical reason why Oracle wouldn’t support an in-memory product with blocks from any and all storage. It is in-memory after all, isn’t it? Please visit Christian’s article here: The Importance of the In-Memory DUPLICATE Clause for a RAC System.
