Thanks for the recognition of a brilliant man Scott, gentle in his ways and always willing to share his knowledge. He passed into spirit exctly a year after his older brother, my husband. The Spadafore family’s loss is great.

Thanks, John! I ordered the book. Sending the proceeds to the memorial funds is a great idea! May God bless their families with much from this. Carl B. and Scott S. have helped me on *numerous* occasions by openly sharing their APEX insights on their blogs and OTN forum responses.
Thanks again,
Reid

Book arrived early this morning. Trying to flick through while doing 1001 other jobs. Looks like it will be an invaluable source of reference.

I’d really like to buy this book, but it’s not available on Kindle. Do you know when it’ll be published on Kindle?

Hi,

I’d really like to buy this, but it’s not available on Kindle. I’ve seen your comment above that it should be, but it’s not.

I have great respect for the knowledge both Scott and Carl demonstrated. If only for the sake of the memorial funds, I put in my preorder (still!) today.
Sure takes some time to get this printed?

Comment on Be careful of V by niphtrique

The use of sys_context(‘USERENV’, ‘CLIENT_INFO’) is a good alternative.

I did some testing:

TST>select count(1) from tst_emp where empname = trim( upper( v( ‘APP_USER’ ) ) );

COUNT(1)
———-
16384

Verstreken: 00:00:04.17
TST>select count(1) from tst_emp where empname = ‘NIPHTRIQUE’;

COUNT(1)
———-
16384

Verstreken: 00:00:00.82
TST>exec dbms_application_info.set_client_info(‘NIPHTRIQUE’);

PL/SQL-procedure is geslaagd.

Verstreken: 00:00:00.01
TST>select count(1) from tst_emp where empname = sys_context(‘USERENV’, ‘CLIENT_INFO’);

COUNT(1)
———-
16384

Verstreken: 00:00:00.84

looks like nobody is interested in advertising this product. I was looking on the web for “Application Espresso”, but found some good coffee instead! This sounds more like a joke. There is nothing also on the company site. Well – nuNuilder looks really very impressive !
I wonder what are your opinions about Xataface and SynApp2 ?

Great book. I bought it.
I love this idea:

Apex community is like a big family and joining hands by some of the top experts – on this wonderful book project – tells us how much regards and respect we have for the best friends that Apex community has lost and a greatway to remember and acknowledge their great work. Congratulations to John in initiating this project and to all the authors who’re participating in this effort. I’d also recommend everyone not just buying the book but also plan book launch events in all the cities and pay tribute to the good friends that Apex community shall miss. Thanks and looking forward to purchasing the book. Its already on my Amazon Wish List/Preordered.
