Today we're going to look at something every builder, creator, or doer runs into. Pushback from all directions: friends, family, customers, even total strangers. Sometimes it's subtle. Sometimes it's loud. And a lot of the time it comes from people who genuinely care about you but have no clue what you're really working on. Add in pressure from the market or audience, and it gets messy fast. It can be hard to tell what's worth listening to and what needs to be ignored completely. Friction isn't always bad. Sometimes it exposes weak spots you should tighten up. But a lot … Continue reading →

This episode covers parameter files, data selection, filtering, and transformation, providing essential insights for managing GoldenGate deployments.   Oracle GoldenGate 23ai: Fundamentals: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/oracle-goldengate-23ai-fundamentals/145884/237273 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode. --------------------------------------------------------------- Podcast Transcript: 00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services.  Nikita: Hi everyone! This is the last episode in our Oracle GoldenGate 23ai series. Previously, we looked at how you can manage Extract Trails and Files. If you missed that episode, do go back and give it a listen.  00:50 Lois: Today, Nick Wagner, Senior Director of Product Management for GoldenGate, is back on the podcast to tell us about parameters, data selection, filtering, and transformation. These are key components of GoldenGate because they allow us to control what data is replicated, how it's transformed, and where it's sent. Hi Nick! Thanks for joining us again. So, what are the different types of parameter files? Nick: We have a GLOBALS parameter file and your runtime parameter files. The global one is going to affect all processes within a deployment. It's going to be things like where's your checkpoint table located in name, things like the heartbeat table. You want to have a single one of these across your entire deployment, so it makes sense to keep it within a single file. We also have runtime parameter files. This are going to be associated with a specific extract or replicat process. These files are located in your OGG_ETC_HOME/conf/ogg. The GLOBALS file is just simply named GLOBALS and all capitals, and your parameter file names for the processes themselves are named with the process.prm. So if my extract process is EXT demo, my parameter file name will be extdemo.prm. When you make changes to parameter files, they don't take effect until the process is restarted. So in the case of a GLOBALS parameter file, you need to restart the administration service. And in a runtime parameter file, you need to restart that specific process before any changes will take effect. We also have what we call a managed process setting profile. And this allows you to set up auto restart profiles for each process. And the GoldenGate Gate classic architecture, this was contained within the GLOBALS parameter file and handled by the manager. And microservices is a little bit different, it's handled by the service manager itself. But now we actually set up profiles. 02:41 Nikita: Ok, so what can you tell us about the extract parameter file specifically?  Nick: There's a couple things within the extract parameter file is common use. First, we want to tell what the group name is. So in this case, it would be our extract name. We need to put in information on where the extract process is going to be writing the data it captures to and that would be our trail files, and extract process can write to one or more trail files. We also want to list out the list of tables and schemas that we're going to be capturing, as well as any kind of DDL changes. If we're doing an initial load, we want to set up the SQL predicate to determine which tables are being captured and put a WHERE clause on those to speed up performance. We can also do filtering within the extract process as well. So we write just the information that we need to the trail file. 03:27 Nikita: And what are the common parameters within an extract process? Nick: There are a couple of common parameters within your extract process. We have table to list out the list of tables that GoldenGate is going to be capturing from. These can be wildcarded. So I can simply do table.star and GoldenGate will capture all the tables in that database. I can also do schema.star and it will capture all the tables within a schema. We have our EXTTRAIL command, which tells GoldenGate which trail to write to. If I want to filter out certain rows and columns, I can use the filter cols and cols except parameter. GoldenGate can also capture sequence changes. So we would use the sequence parameter. And then we can also set some high-level database options for GoldenGate that affect all the tables and that's configured using the tranlog options parameter.  04:14 Lois: Nick, can you talk a bit about the different types of tranlogoptions settings? How can they be used to control what the extract process does? Nick: So one of the first ones is ExcludeTag. So GoldenGate has the ability to exclude tagged transactions. Within the database itself, you can actually specify a transaction to be tagged using a DBMS set tag option. GoldenGate replicat also sets its transactions with a tag so that the GoldenGate process knows which transactions were done by the replicat and it can exclude them automatically. You can do exclude tag with a plus. That simply means to exclude any transaction that's been tagged with any value. You can also exclude specific tags.  Another good option for TranLogOptions is enable procedural replication. This allows GoldenGate to actually capture and replicate database procedure calls, and this would be things like DBMS AQ, NQ operations, or DQ operations. So if you're using Oracle advanced queuing and you need GoldenGate to replicate those changes, it can.  Another valuable tranlogoption setting is enable auto capture. Within the Oracle Database, you can actually set ALTER TABLE command that says ALTER TABLE, enable logical replication. Or when you create a table, you can actually do CREATE TABLE statement and at the end use the enable logical replication option for that CREATE TABLE statement. And this tells GoldenGate to automatically capture that table. One of the nice features about this is that I don't need to specify that table and my parameter file, and it'll automatically enable supplemental logging on that table for me using scheduling columns. So it makes it very easy to set up replication between Oracle databases.  06:01 Nikita: Can you tell us about replicat parameters, Nick? Nick: Within a replicat, we'll have the group name, some common other parameters that we'll use is a mapping parameter that allows us to map the source to target table relationships. We can do transformation within the replicat, as well as error handling and controlling group operations to improve performance. Some common replicat parameters include the replicat parameter itself, which tells us what the name of that replicat is. We have our map statement, which allows us to map a source object to a target object. We have things like rep error that control how to handle errors. Insert all records allows us to change and convert, update, and delete operations into inserts. We can do things like compare calls, which helps with active-active replication in determining which columns are used in the GoldenGate WHERE clause. We also have the ability to use macros and column mapping to do additional transformation and make the parameter file look elegant. 07:07 AI is being used in nearly every industry…healthcare, manufacturing, retail, customer service, transportation, agriculture, you name it! And it's only going to get more prevalent and transformational in the future. It's no wonder that AI skills are the most sought-after by employers.

Head on over to mylearn.oracle.com to find out more. 07:47 Nikita: Welcome back! Let's move on to some of the most interesting topics within GoldenGate… data mapping, selection, and transformation. As I understand, users can do pretty cool things with GoldenGate. So Nick, let's start with how GoldenGate can manipulate, change, and map data between two different databases. Nick: The map statement within a Replicat parameter allows you to provide specifications on how you're going to map source and target objects. You can also use a map and an extract, but it's pretty rare. And that would be used if you needed to write the object name. Inside the trail files is a different name than the actual object name that you're capturing from. GoldenGate can also do different data selection, mapping, and manipulation, and this is all controlled within the Extract and Replicat parameter files. In the classic architecture of GoldenGate, you could do a rudimentary level of transformation and filtering within the extract pump. Now, the distribution service is only allowing you to do filtering. Any transformation that you had within the pump would need to be moved to the Extract or the Replicat process.  The other thing that you can do within GoldenGate is select and filter data based on different levels and conditions. So within your parameter clause, you have your Table and Map statement. That's the core of everything. You have your filtering. You have COLS and COLSEXCEPT, which allow you to determine which columns you're going to include or exclude from replication. The Table and Map statement works at the table level. The FILTER works at the row level. And COLS and COLSEXCEPTs works at the column level. We also have the ability to filter by operation type too. So GoldenGate has some very easy parameters called GitInserts, GitUpdates, GitDeletes, and conversely ignore updates, ignore deletes, ignore inserts. And that will affect the operation type. 09:40 Lois: Nick, are there any features that GoldenGate provides to make data replication easier? Nick: The first thing is that GoldenGate is going to automatically match your source and target column names with a parameter called USEDEFAULTS. You can specify it inside of your COLMAP clause, but again, it's a default, so you don't need to worry about it. We also handle all data type and character set conversion. Because we store the metadata in the trail, we know what that source data type is like. When we go to apply the record to the target table, the Replicat process is going to look up the definition of that record and keep a repository of that in memory. So that when it knows that, hey, this value coming in from the trail file is going to be of a date data type, and then this value in the target database is going to be a character data type, it knows how to convert that date to a character, and it'll do it for you. Most of the conversion is going to be done automatically for data types. Things where we don't do automatic data type conversion is if you're using abstract data types or user-defined data types, collections arrays, and then some types of CLOB operations. For example, if you're going from a BLOB to a JSON, that's not really going to work very well. Character set conversion is also done automatically. It's not necessarily done directly by GoldenGate, but it's done by the database engine. So there is a character set value inside that source database.  And when GoldenGate goes to apply those changes into the target system, it's ensuring that that character set is visible and named so that that database can do the necessary translation. You can also do advanced filtering transformation. There's tokens that you can attach from the source environment, database, or records into a record itself on the trail file. And then there's also a bunch of metadata that GoldenGate can use to attach to the record itself. And then of course, you can use data transformation within your COLMAP statement. 11:28 Nikita: Before we wrap up, what types of data transformations can we perform, Nick?  Nick: So there's quite a few different data transformations. We can do constructive or destructive transformation, aesthetic, and structural. 11:39 Lois: That's it for the Oracle GoldenGate 23ai: Fundamentals series. I think we covered a lot of ground this season. Thank you, Nick, for taking us through it all.  Nikita: Yeah, thank you so much, Nick.

What does it take to spend more of your time creating real impact...That's the central question we're exploring in our Journey Management Playbook series.In the last episode, we did something pretty amazing: we took a pile of raw data and, with a click of a button, watched AI generate a structured journey map in a matter of minutes.I'll admit even though I was a bit skeptical to start with, this felt pretty magical.But the truth is that this first draft is just the beginning.As you have hopefully seen, an AI-generated journey gives you an incredible head start, but it's not yet something you should bet your business on. So, how do you move from this first draft to a decision-making tool you can truly trust? How do you make it yours?That's exactly where we're going in Episode 4. This is the essential next step.Once again, Tingting and I roll up our sleeves and show you the practical, step-by-step process of:Prioritizing what to tackle first, so you don't get overwhelmed.Verifying AI-generated insights to build confidence.Enriching the journey using properties to add depth.Using filters to focus on what matters most.As you'll see, we're now entering the areas where the power of modern AI-driven journey management truly comes alive. There's still a lot of work for us to do, but AI allows us to focus our time on the areas where we can add the most value.Just like in the previous episodes, we're diving deep inside TheyDo with a lot of screen sharing.

Send us a textThe five senses serve as gateways to our souls, directly influencing our spiritual formation and relationship with God. In this powerful exploration of sensory stewardship, we examine how Christians can guard what enters their lives through their eyes, ears, minds, mouths, and actions.Our increasingly desensitized culture presents unique challenges for believers trying to maintain spiritual purity. From music with suggestive lyrics to casual profanity in everyday conversation, we face constant pressure to accept what God has called us to reject. The discussion provides practical wisdom on establishing healthy boundaries while maintaining gospel witness in environments where ungodly communication is normalized.Scripture illuminates this conversation throughout, with powerful insights from Romans 10:17 on how "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." This divine command to hear rightly shapes our understanding of spiritual receptivity. Similarly, the biblical warnings about our speech—that we will give account for every idle word—serves as a sobering reminder of how seriously God takes our communication.Perhaps most compelling is the honest vulnerability shared about personal struggles with speech. As one speaker confesses, "I have failed with my words," we're reminded that spiritual growth is a process requiring humility and divine grace. The vivid analogy that our words can either be "fertilizer that helps a wonderful plant grow" or "a lawnmower blade that rips things to pieces" perfectly captures what's at stake in our daily communications.By intentionally monitoring what we think, see, hear, say, and do, we position ourselves for spiritual growth and more effective Christian witness. This episode offers both theological depth and practical application for anyone seeking to navigate our sensory-saturated world with godly wisdom and discernment.Support the show

Today, Pastor Michael Acock speaks in week 6 of our series study of the book of Colossians. Our series is called "Beyond the Static" as we look to clear the noise of life and our world and listen to the voice of a loving God. In this sermon, Michael emphasizes the importance of discerning what we allow into our hearts, based on the teachings found in Colossians chapters one and two. He highlights that while we have been made new in Christ, we must guard our hearts against worldly philosophies and misleading ideologies that dilute the truth of the Gospel. Michael encourages the congregation to use Jesus as their filter for understanding and discerning truth, asserting that if Christ has reconciled us, we are destined for faithfulness and maturity in Him. Ultimately, the message urges believers to recognize their new identity in Christ and to detach from cultural pressures that compromise their faith. You can find the full sermon notes and other resources at our website. We hope this message encourages you and helps you know Jesus in a more real way.

GTO Wizard - The best way to learn and practice GTO!Use this link to sign up: https://gtowizard.com/p/junglemanDESCRIPTIONAlright, so I sat down with French OG for this episode of Winning The Game Of Life. This guy's got a wild background – went from grinding poker tables, understanding odds and variance, to coaching guys through the even more complex and sometimes brutal game of modern dating. We didn't waste time on fluff; we jumped straight into the deep end, applying strategic thinking and probability to figure out what actually works with women, relationships, and frankly, just navigating human psychology when the stakes feel high.Expect some takes that might make you uncomfortable. French OG dropped some bombs, like comparing personality to makeup and arguing why chasing commitment can kill attraction. We went back and forth on whether optimizing for 'lays' is a fundamental mistake (a point where I think the Red Pill logic often breaks down), debated the real source of confidence, and even touched on whether my blue hair stunt was a calculated 'polarizing' move. It's raw, unfiltered, and definitely not your standard dating advice. If you're tired of simplistic answers and want to explore the messy variables, the actual 'game theory' behind attraction and connection, then you need to check this out. We dissect common assumptions, challenge popular narratives, and try to find a real edge in understanding this crucial part of life. Hit play, listen close, and then tell me in the comments where you think we got it right or wrong – figuring this stuff out is part of winning the game.CHAPTERS00:00 – Intro: Meet French OG01:35 – Twitter Truths & Trolls04:45 – French OG: Poker Player to Dating Coach09:15 – Poker Strategy Applied to Dating13:47 – Confidence, Uncertainty & Poker Mindset16:10 – Coaching Smart Guys (INTJs)18:20 – Boundaries vs. Ultimatums in Dating20:30 – Dealing with Randomness (Poker & Life)23:34 – Culture Clash: Agency vs. Environment25:05 – Poker Analogy: Know Your Value & Spot27:38 – Jungleman's Blue Hair: Polarizing Works31:39 – Don't Be Average32:10 – Niche Strategy: Poker Tables & Dating Apps34:27 – Red Pill Critique: Optimize LIFE, Not Lays36:16 – Lust vs. Love: Who Secures the Relationship?37:03 – Debate: Leading with Relationship Intent40:05 – Filtering for Partner vs. Max Quantity44:45 – Why Men Shouldn't Chase Relationships45:50 – Red Pill Flaw: Metrics Aren't Everything48:05 – Defining Male Personality48:39 – Coaching Different Men, Different Goals53:40 – Advice for the "Average" Guy58:24 – Looks, Fitness & Self-Care Matter01:00:30 – Ripped vs. Money vs. Confidence Debate01:04:40 – Personality is Male "Makeup"01:07:20 – The "Good Woman" Debate01:12:15 – Compatibility vs. Pedestals01:14:05 – Predictable vs. Exciting Relationships01:20:15 – Control Dynamics & Dealing with Damage01:21:05 – Final Thoughts & OutroPINNED COMMENTFrench OG says that "Personality is makeup for men".

Stephan and Antoine discuss the complexities surrounding Bitcoin's OP_RETURN functionality and the ongoing debate about spam filtering on the Bitcoin network. They explore the implications of consensus rules, standardness, and the historical context of these discussions. Antoine provides insights into the motivations behind changes in Bitcoin Core's policies and the potential future of Bitcoin as both a currency and a data storage solution. The conversation highlights the urgency of addressing OP_RETURN issues while also considering the broader implications of spam filtering and its impact on Bitcoin's usability and miner centralization. The conversation also touches upon the growth of the UTXO set, the challenges of managing spam, and the philosophical differences between Bitcoin Core and alternative implementations. Takeaways

Do you really think all of those "influencers" look that beautiful?  Nah.  They just are great at using filters for their  images.  And that was before AI.  Now, images and even video can have everyone looking beautiful for the web.  But what happens when you bring your plastic surgeon an altered image and ask to look like that?  It's not so easy.  On today's show, we discuss that as well as give you the real truth about exosomes in skin care.

Show Notes: Venture Blues: Cloud, Silver LiningOverviewThis week's “Venture Blues” editorial brings into focus a brewing transformation in early-stage venture capital. As funds endure stretched timelines and mounting LP pressure, long-taboo secondary markets are stepping into the limelight. At the same time, traditional VC structures—anchored to power-law home runs and decade-long illiquidity—are under fresh scrutiny.What makes this collection compelling is its blend of on-the-ground investor testimony (from Dan Gray, Hunter Walk, Rob Hodgkinson) and hard data (Carta charts, Series B MOIC trends) that together sketch a venture asset class at a crossroads: can it engineer better liquidity and more dependable returns without sacrificing outsized upside?Key Trend 1: The Liquidity Imperative and Rise of SecondariesAs portfolio companies stall in late-stage rounds, early-stage VCs and LPs alike are waking up to the need for earlier liquidity—and rediscovering secondaries.Why it matters:– Stigma around selling GP stakes is eroding when 10-year fund cycles stretch toward 15 years.– Liquidity becomes critical to meet IRR targets and redeploy capital.Talking Point 1: From Taboo to ToolboxQuote:“The obvious desperation for liquidity has — for now — removed the stigma associated with secondaries.”— Dan Gray's X postEarly-stage managers, once loath to let shares go, now view secondaries as a legitimate value-preservation tactic.Removing psychological barriers makes secondaries a core liquidity channel, not just a last-resort option.Talking Point 2: Fund Cycles Stretch, LP Calculations ShiftQuote:“For the earliest funds (pre-seed, seed) this means instead of 10 year fund cycles for LPs, you're seeing closer to 15, which fundamentally changes LP calculations about the asset class.”— Hunter Walk, HomebrewLonger holding periods erode IRRs and cash-on-cash returns.LPs factor in delayed distributions, pressing GPs to surface secondary opportunities sooner.Key Trend 2: Structural Challenges in Traditional VC ModelsDespite aggregate Series B investments growing 476% over eight years, most value remains on paper—and out of reach.Why it matters:– Healthy MOIC doesn't equate to real cash returns.– Most LPs lack access to top-performing funds and can't live off latent value.Talking Point 1: MOIC vs. Cash—The Distribution DilemmaQuote:“And the 4.76x is measured in MOIC, not cash, so was not distributed.”— Venture Blues editorialVenture's celebrated power law produces massive paper returns skewed toward a handful of winners.Without distributions, LPs can't recycle gains, creating a false sense of asset-class health.Talking Point 2: Concentration of Compelling ManagersQuote:“Most LPs do not get returns, and certainly not liquid returns (the only real kind).”— Venture Blues editorialA small club of star GPs capture most performance.Broader LP community remains exposed to illiquidity without average outcome participation.Key Trend 3: Rethinking the LP Base and Investor AlignmentEconomic uncertainty is forcing a recalibration of who backs VC—and how.Why it matters:– Traditional LPs (endowments, pensions) face funding pressures.– New entrants (sovereign wealth, retail, alternatives platforms) demand different structures.Talking Point 1: Endowment Exodus to SecondariesQuote:“A harbinger of change is Yale, who pioneered the ‘endowment model'… selling $6 bn in its PE portfolio in secondaries for the first time.”— Rob HodgkinsonEndowments under the gun from taxes, tariff impacts and political hostility.Liquid strategies gain priority, reshaping demand for evergreen and secondary vehicles.Talking Point 2: LP Preferences Shape Fund ProductsQuote:“VC is changing. Venture firms need to rethink not just who they raise from, but how their LP base influences what they're offering.”— Rob HodgkinsonA move toward evergreen, co-invest, direct, and secondary funds rather than classic 10-year vehicles.Funds must tailor structures to new LP appetites for liquidity and risk profiles.Key Trend 4: Emerging Structures for De-Risked, Liquid VC InvestmentsAlgorithmic selection and private-company indexes promise to lower risk, broaden access and embed liquidity.Why it matters:– De-couples returns from a small set of GPs and rare unicorns.– Creates tradable vehicles for average VC outcomes.Talking Point 1: Filtering the 7% That MatterQuote:“Investing in this 7% as an index gives investors the ability to participate in de-risked average outcomes.”— Venture Blues editorialData and machine learning reject 93% of Series B rounds.The top 7% deliver 6.2x MOIC in five years, enabling an index tilted for performance.Talking Point 2: Liquidity by DesignQuote:“There is no longer a dependency on which fund an LP can invest in… And liquidity is built into the index approach.”— Venture Blues editorialIndex shares can be bought and sold once listed on public markets.Retail investors and non-traditional allocators gain direct VC exposure.Discussion QuestionsHow has the elongation of fund cycles from 10 to 15 years altered LPs' appetite for early-stage VC?Can the rise of secondaries truly resolve liquidity challenges, or does it merely shift them to later rounds?With secondaries becoming “primary” for early-stage VCs, is there a risk of misaligned incentives between GPs and founders?How might new LP entrants (retail platforms, sovereign wealth funds) reshape venture fundraising and governance?Is algorithmic selection and index-based investing a silver bullet for de-risking VC, or does it introduce new systemic biases?Is the core issue in venture the lack of liquidity or the inherent power-law structure forcing “home runs”?What unintended consequences could emerge from tradable private-company indexes?Closing SegmentVenture Blues reveals an asset class in flux: the thirst for liquidity is rewriting norms, LPs are demanding new structures, and data-driven models offer a glimpse at more equitable, de-risked returns. As we watch secondaries soar and index products emerge, the central question remains: can VC evolve beyond its 70-year blueprint to deliver both outsized growth and true liquidity?Final thought: the silver lining in today's venture clouds may be a fundamentally redesigned asset class that finally brings average, liquid outcomes within reach.Stay tuned as we track which of these trends will reshape the venture landscape for good.

Jeremy Au reconnects with Milan Reinartz to explore how angel investing evolved into a community-led platform, why Southeast Asia's VC math doesn't work, and how late-stage private markets offer new opportunities for retail millionaires. They talk through founder quality, opaque incentives, and the need for real diligence in a fragmented region. It's a grounded take on what needs to change in early-stage investing and what's already shifting. 1. From solo investing to a platform: Milan started out deploying his own capital but realized he needed to pool investors to access better rounds. 2. Backing experienced founders only: He avoided pre-revenue startups and focused on tier-one operators with track records and strong fund backing. 3.

Friends! Have you gotten my new book It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn yet? If not, listen to today's guest give a review of the book at the end of the podcast and be inspired to get your copy right here today! I met today's guest, Aubrey McGowan, at a home school mom conference called Wild and Free! What a fun way to meet this guy. Aubrey and his wife Jen are tremendous musicians, and they have performed at many of the Wild and Free conferences I have been a part of. Aubrey is also creative in other ways: he's a passionate communicator and a gifted writer. In today's episode we are talking about Aubrey's new book, Filter the Noise: how to Hear God's Voice in a Culture of Chaos. We have so much noise in our life--the noise of the physical world, the noise of the digital world and the inner noise—those voices in our head that so often tell us things that aren't true. Aubrey asks the question: what does Christ say to this?  While the world tells us we always need more, Christ tells us He is enough. Aubrey shares with us the practice he outlines in the book that can help us filter the noise we don't want or need in this life. But Aubrey reminds us: “The power is in Jesus, not in the practice” This practice is a way to point people to Jesus Friends, this is a longer than usual episode, but when Aubrey gets fired up he brings the wisdom and the fire and I don't want to stop him! So sit down, grab a cup of coffee and be inspired by what Aubrey shares here.
