So, What is a Content Management System Anyway?

Overview
============
In practice, you will find that most CMSs are not usually devoted to managing only
application content or even a combination of information and application content. In most
cases, CMS software developers focus on information management only and let other
software developers build tools, such as source code management systems, to handle
the application content.
With that said, many high-end, high-priced, commercial CMSs support the allencompassing
definition of content. Vignette and Interwoven are two such CMS
systems. They both support practically any type of information content that can go on a
Web site, as well as deployment of any custom applications. An interesting note about
these CMSs is that they offer the application content management system as an add-on
package. So, it appears that even they see the distinction between the two types of
content.
Yet still, in light of all this, there is evidence that the industry is in the process of trying to
merge all niches of CMSs together, bringing both information and applications under the
same umbrella. The question is whether this merging will make CMSs all-encompassing
or just create a large, integrated tool that handles all aspects of Web page development
for which CMS is just one part.
I would hazard to guess that it is the latter because it would contradict the efforts of the
rest of the industry, which is trying hard to do the exact opposite (that is, keep
information and applications separate). Web site developers consciously make an effort
to try to separate applications and information whenever they build systems. In fact,
developers recommend that while using .NET, HTML (information) and the programmed
functionality (application) should be in separate source code files.

Disabling of Password Expiration in Oracle Apex(Internal Workspace Admin)

This post was inspired by a  question  on the OTN APEX forum, which contains how to  reset set the password of the  Oracle Internal Workspace Admin    and  Set the account never to expire  The first bullet has so many blogs  talk about how to reset the password of the Internal Workspace. However, i am more intrigued with the second . To start of with It is not advisable to never expire accounts since its rudimental for user to always renew their accounts  prior to expiration. The default expiration of an account is mostly 180 days so hey whats the point going to do this again after 180 days?? . There are two methods that can be used to achieve this  Generic Never expiration of all User accounts (This should never be practiced in a production Environment All database users are assigned to something called a PROFILE . The profile controls two aspects of the users database acce...

How does one add a day/hour/minute/second to a date value?

DATE is the datatype that we are all familiar  with when we think about representing date and time values. It has the ability to store the month, day, year, century, hours, minutes, and seconds. It is typically good for representing data for when something has happened or should happen in the future.  The problem with the DATE datatype is its' granularity  when trying to determine a time interval between two events when the events happen within a second of each other. This issue is solved with the TIMESTAMP datatype. In order to represent the date stored in a more readable format, the TO_CHAR function has traditionally been wrapped around the date: SQL> SELECT  TO_CHAR(hiredate,'DD.MM.YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')  "hiredate"   FROM employees; hiredate ------------------- 17.12.1980:00:00:00 20.02.1981:00:00:00 The SYSDATE pseudo-column shows the current system date and time. Adding 1 to SYSDATE will advance the date by 1 day. Use fractions to add hours...
