Oracle Announce Product Data Hub
July 21st, 2004 by Mark Rittman
Following on from Customer
Data Hub, Oracle have just announced that Product Data Hub will be available
in 2005. According
to James Niccolai for IDG News Service, "Meanwhile, Oracle also
plans to release a rival offering, called Product Data Hub, later this year or
early in 2005. The Product Data Hub will be based on the same idea as its
Customer Data Hub, which was released in January. Customer Data Hub provides
businesses with a single view of all the information about its customers, by
consolidating customer data from different sources, including non-Oracle
applications. Product Data Hub will be based on the same idea, acting as a
repository for information about pricing, product inventory numbers and which
suppliers should have access to which products, said Ashinsh Mohindroo, product
director for integration server technology at Oracle. It will be introduced late
this year or early next year."

Mark, this is about your September 2003 post about VPD using SSO. Currently I’ve implemented VPD using Discoverer and 10g. The problem I’m facing currently is for each user to be granted RLS, a database user needs to be created. Am I right? If I’m dealing with call detail records of a cellphone service provider and need RLS for each and every user, the number of dB users will be enormous. Alternatively, if I introduce SSO in between for storing user authentication details, will I still end up creating these many dB users? Is there any way I can avoid creating as many dB users as application users? Can something like Connection Manager’s connection concentration be used to reduce the number of dB sessions?
