When is a Sequence Number Not Sequential?

-
A sequence number or an identity column guarantees the following: Number served is unique. Number served is sequential (ascending order) - Identity columns guarantees this; sequence number in Oracle RAC mode doesn't, unless ORDER is used. However: It does not guarantee the sequence is gap-free Sequence number/ identity columns do not partake in transactions Number loss/ gaps happen due to the following: Served number does not get utilised (typically due to transaction rollback) Server restart/ failures - database servers tend to cache sequences in memory for performance reasons. E.g. Oracle Sequence number set-up to be CACHEd in memory. According to Oracle 11gR2 Database Documentation : for the Sequence database concept, use of Oracle Sequence does not guarantee gap-free set of numbers.   If your application requires a gap-free set of numbers, then you cannot use Oracle sequences . You must serialize activities in the database using your own developed cod...

Similarly, I wanted to differentiate the various categories of changes (Standard, Emergency, Normal) using an easy to understand & self-explanatory manner – a UML Activity Diagram!

How to depict (Professional-Looking) Logical Network Diagrams in Astah

I have always had to create (professional-looking) UML diagrams using Visio-like icons. You’ve got to admit that showing a bunch of boring UML boxes hardly interests anyone less technical (like anyone whose designation has the words “manager” or “director”). This is actually possible in Astah! I’ve created a template for future projects that allows me to produce logical network diagrams that look like the following: To create this diagram, you need to do the following: Assign various icons to stereotypes. I created the following for my use: Create a new UML Deployment Diagram Every element in the diagram is created as a Node The nodes are subsequently assigned the appropriate <<stereotype>>. E.g. Internet is <<internet>>, WebZone FW is <<firewall>>, Web LB is <<loadBalancer>> Ensure the “Icon Notation” is set to “Customized Icon” for each node Instead of the boring boxes, the corresponding icons automatically gets displayed!
