Determining Method Type (Q&A)

I have started working with object types and “mining” the data dictionary views for related information so I can generate useful reports. For the most part, the views are clear and helpful. I am stumped, however, when it comes to determining the kind of method found in the object type (static, constructor or member). How can I get this information?

On Saving Source Code (Q&A)

I just took a new job and discovered that the development team edits and saves our source code directly in the database. In all previous positions, we saved source code to files, and used the database as the platform testing and, of course, deployment. My new teammates argue that by storing code in the database it is easier to deploy over to the test and production instances. In addition, they say it is easier to share among all developers, since access is controlled by the schema into which we connect. And, besides, they’ve always done it this way. What would you recommend?

The New Oracle Bloggers

One of the great benefits of the Oracle-BEA integration has been a tremendous influx of new blogging (and Twittering) talent. (This process has only just begun in fact.) Here are just a few of the new stars in the Blogs.Oracle.com firmament (there are others on the way), most I would think formerly of Dev2Dev:

Aseem Bajaj (WebLogic Server)
Sean Boiling (Middleware)
Bob Rhubart (Architecture)
Michael Stamback (SOA Governance)
Chris Tomkins (Service Bus)

I also want to welcome some other new blogs and bloggers, not specifically BEA-related:

Social CRM Blog
Oracle Developer Tools Blog
Oracle Certification Blog
Oracle OpenWorld Blog
Visualize This (Enterprise Visualization Blog)
Pervasive Computing Blog

May I remind any new bloggers reading this post, BTW, that we need your name here (and here for Tweeters). This is a wiki-based self-service process now, so get to it.

Signing off for now and for the following week, as I intend to be drinking Tecates on the beach, with no digital connections whatsoever.
