The case for a digital asset management system

A Digital Asset Management application is simply a tool for organizing digital media assets for storage and retrieval. When searching for a digital asset management system, the first thing to identify is your objective. What solutions should it provide to what problems? Do you simply want to find media content on demand? Create collaborative creative environments? Systematize efficient workflow? Manage rights and permissions complete with automated tracking and accounting? Implement full-blown electronic commerce? Let the priority of one or more of these goals be your guiding principle in sorting through the facts and marketing hype.

Oracle releases SQL Developer (formerly Raptor)

Oracle released the production version of SQL Developer (formerly known as Raptor). As from their website it states: “Oracle SQL Developer is a new, free graphical tool that enhances productivity and simplifies database development tasks. With SQL Developer, you can browse database objects, run SQL statements and SQL scripts, and edit and debug PL/SQL statements. You can also run any number of provided reports, as well as create and save your own.”

We have been using SQL Developer in the last couple of betas and we think it is a way killer application. Also we all have now a cross platform tool because SQL Developer works on Windows, Linux (Suse, RedHat, Fedora, etc.) and the Mac (MacOS X).

If you haven’t done so go to Oracle’s Website (OTN) and download SQL Developer today.
