When I wrote my blog about Google
Spreadsheets, one of the comments referred me to DabbleDB.
Well, I took a look, and it is very nice! I love its intuitive
interface and how easy it is to get up and running, both with a new
database and with importing. I highly recommend viewing the video of
the demo.
They way they handle schema evolution is wonderful, and there are
a lot of opportunities...
One problem with the name Derby for the Apache database project is that it has at least two common pronunciations. Working with folks from the UK, Norway, India and US, we actually hear many more pronunciations.
Jean Anderson, one of the Derby committers, finally put up a Wiki page with recordings of Derby pronunciations. Fun page. I'd put my pronunciation up, but it's pretty close to...
Well, finally. I've been chomping at the bit on this one for quite
a while. I can now officially announce that Java developers will have
the convenience of a fully functional, 100% Java database shipping
with the Sun JDK. Java DB 10.2 will be available with Mustang (Sun's

for build 88, available at http://download.java.net/jdk6...

I do think it's important to recognize that with Google Browser Sync, your personal information is kept on the Google server. With a JavaDB "Local AJAX" solution, your personal information is kept with...
As I suspect many of you have noticed, Google has announced an online
spreadsheet. And as you also may have noticed, the response
hasn't been all positive. See here.
And here.
And here.
There's a theme here: nice idea, but why would my spreadsheet data to Google? They can give all the
promises of privacy they want, the trust factor just isn't there.
There is also the complaint that it is...
Some great news coming out of Glassfish: their Java Persistence
implementation is now separately
downloadable and can be used in other environments, such
as Geronimo. Actually, it can be used in any J2SE
application. Also, other
Java Persistence implementations can be run in Glassfish. We
appear to have a pluggable persistence architecture for Java –
very nice!
I'm personally going to...
