Cloudy with Ingres VectorWise

29-Jun-10

As follow-up to the UK IUA 2010 and the video of the Ingres VectorWise demonstration the Ingres Emerging Technologies Team has created an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) with a pre-installed evaluation copy of Ingres VectorWise.

Debugging the Hibernate project with Eclipse

16-May-10

EclipseCon 2010 – day3

29-Mar-10

Apologies for the late appearance of this and the next post, but the expansion of my mind during the conference caused it to short circuit.

EclipseCon 2010 – day1

Button clicks do nothing in Ingres Database Workbench, Eclipse and its derivatives

04-Feb-10

On some distributions of Linux when running Eclipse and applications derived from Eclipse the buttons on dialogs whilst accepting clicks do not seem to do anything. After some minutes of frustration and even more minutes searching for an answer on Google I found this https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=291257 Any way the temporary solution is to set the environment [...]
