TransferORM gets closer to 1.0 release

The word on the street is Transfer 1.0 will be in release candidate status at CF.Objective 2008. I've actually overheard that the Transfer code in SVN ( http://svn.riaforge.org/transfer ) is complete and ready for the 1.0 release, all that remains is documentation. Mark Mandel has been quite specific that the 1.0 release will be properly documented. It appears as if he has been quite busy. I just stumbled upon the new Transfer documentation and MAN is it looking sweet!

AOP in the database

A good friend of mine is an excellent Oracle Trainer / Consultant. I noticed an article on his blog about rewriting queries on the fly. Quite interesting stuff. Similar to method interception in Aspect Oriented Programming, a query can be substituted over another in real time.

Like it or not, there are millions upon millions of lines of software code where values and rules are hardcoded. Using DBMS_ADVANCED_REWRITE isn't for the feint of heart. If a system had embedded or hard coded rules and needed to change over to a new set of rules, this technique could help ensure compliance and speed up the development time.

Should a system be built around this method? Certainly not, but if a legacy system needs to be updated quickly and accurately, this technique is gold in the right hands.
