PL/SQL Challenge version 1.7
PL/SQL Challenge was upgraded to 1.7.
The main feature for everybody is to be able to access to all past quizzes by topic, difficulty or date, and then drill down to see a new, more detailed description of the quiz.
You need to register so have access to that, but registration is free.
Go there, learn and, if possible, play!

PL/SQL going down in TIOBE Index
PL/SQL in 23th in TIOBE Index for October 2010.
A drop of 10 places in one year!
Of course that index is not very accurate, but even so I would not expect a drop like this one, specially with PL/SQL Challenge that was created this year (ok...it's not a very index (meaning Google, etc.) friendly site), and the APEX grow.
I think that one reason for that is that with APEX the PL/SQL community use APEX as a label/post and not mention PL/SQL when writing/posting code for it.

Less that one week
Less than a week for the 1st Oracle PL/SQL Programming Conference (OPP) in Europe (in Brussels)!
And also the 1st APEXposed in Europe!
I will be presenting a session about "Advanced Web Programming" (outside and beyond APEX)
"In this session we will discuss how to provide security (avoid sql/injection, backlisting and whitelisting program access, etc.. ), to avoid unnecessary DB processing (use of client cache, ...),to add error management to your PL/SQL Web Toolkit programs and to make your website more Google friendly.”

How to copy the grants given to a user to another
Suppose that you have a user USER_BASE that grant rights to USER1 and you want to grant those same rights to USER2.
You can use the following script in USER_BASE (change USER1 and USER2 literals for your user names) and run the output in USER_BASE.

100 anos de República!
Parabéns à República (de Portugal) pelo seu aniversário.
Hoje cheguei à conclusão que a idade da reforma em Portugal nunca deveria ultrapassar os 64 anos, pois foi essa a idade em que a República Portuguesa teve uma grande reforma.
