Oracle : Java Glossary

Oracle makes an expensive high performance SQL (Standard Query Language) database engine. They bought out Sun (and with it Java and MySQL) on 2009-04-20.

Oracle bought out Sun (the creator of Java) and is in the process of moving all the files from the Sun website to the Oracle website. Unfortunately they are doing a royal botch of job. There are about 2500 links on the mindprod.com website that need to be adjusted. Some of the old Sun links still work. Some are dead. Some temporarily redirect to Oracle pages (but not the corresponding pages!). To make matters worse, Oracle has been changing the names of the links on the Oracle site, so even correctly links stop working. There is almost no pattern to the new Oracle site, unlike the old Sun site. I will need to write tools to clean up this bloody mess, then manually clean up for years to come. Please be patient. You may have to find some material on the Sun site or Oracle site with google for now. Ideally Oracle would provide some tools for people to update their websites containing Sun links, or at least provide a database of old and new links.
