Rittman Mead - Delivered Intelligence

The other day I was asked to look in to how we can use BIPublisher to report against a mySQL database. According to the documentation one can report against basically any database that can be connected to via JDBC. Obviously I am assuming you already have your mySQL database up and running :). But to […]

Just a quick post to tell people I am still alive. Haven’t been blogging for close to two months now so I thought I’d better show a small sign of life.
I spent New Year’s eve up in Iceland, visiting friends and family. As soon as the smoke from all the fireworks cleared I took on […]

Well, it was about time that I woke up from my non-blogging slumber! I have been keeping my attention on customer work and easily managed to put off blogging for quite some time now. I dare say I should try to keep the pace a bit better here and I sure will try to do […]

I just saw a very concise post on the AMIS technology blog about virtual columns being created on tables. Given how well it is put forward there, I don’t see the need to regurgitate their post, so take a quick peek and learn how cool and easy this feature is. I have a few times […]

Well, not that summer actually ever arrived here in Belgium. It’s been quite the opposite of last summer, which was very hot and sunny. So I guess in average my two first summers here were OK., right?
But the summer did bring me some changes. For the last 5 weeks I have been working as an […]

Last Friday I got an email from the UKOUG Events Team informing me that my abstract, titled
“Implementing Access Control for the new Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition”
has just been accepted for the UKOUG 2007 conference in Birmingham, come December. I got a slot on the Wednesday, Dec 5th, right after lunch. This will be […]

As Mark Rittman announced last week, I have just started collaborating with Rittman Mead Consulting. As a direct result I am now sitting in my hotel room in Lagos, Nigeria after the second day of running the Oracle BI EE Masterclass for a client. This is the first time that I run this course but […]
