(Dan Jankowski) It’s that time of year when I try to clean up some of my bad habits from the year before. This time, it’s plain-text passwords in SQL scripts.

(Lucas Jellema) The challenge: you are running a service, API or web application in a Docker container, locally on your laptop or in a cloud based VM or container platform.

(Jan Kettenis) There are some easy to make mistakes to make when mapping messages with optional elements in OIC Integrations. This article describes how optional elements are being handled, and a way to make this work the way you want.

(Martin Berger) Oracle Connection Manager (cman) is a great tool to create a gateway between networks which can not be connected, or filter those who can access to a service.

(stewashton) My last post had code to rewrite SELECT statements that tried to access public package variables. Here I’ll integrate the code into the SQL Translation Framework. Use this only in development environments.
