For many years, I went by the name Antoni Muldoon and worked as a professional con artist. I must have stolen more than £100 million from diligent individuals overall. I lost nearly everything I had accumulated when I was inevitably discovered for my crimes and sent to prison. One thing I kept was my awareness of the various con games that con people out of their money on a regular basis. I made the decision to utilise my knowledge to help others avoid falling for the same kinds of scams that I used to run. I'm calling this series of books on various scams the Scam Busters Series, and this one is the first in the series. Every book will walk you through a distinct fraud, so regardless of whether you have been duped This is the first book in the series, and perhaps you will enjoy it and find it helpful if you have ever fallen into the timeshare trap or are about to fall into it.In the inaugural installment of the Scam Busters series, Antoni Muldoon shares his insider knowledge of timeshare frauds. He makes note of what to watch out for and what not to do. This will come in handy should you ever fall victim to a timeshare scam.

Diese Einführung in die Oracle Datenbankadministration bietet einen schnellen Einstieg in die Installation, den Betrieb und das Backup einer Oracle 19c Datenbank. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf Datenbanken, die nicht in der Cloud, sondern auf eigenen Servern (on premise) betrieben werden. Es wird gezeigt, wie eine Einzelinstanz als herkömmliche Non-CDB oder als Multitenant-Containerdatenbank aufgesetzt werden kann und wie beim Aufbau eines Real Application Clusters vorgegangen werden muss. Erläutert werden die Komponenten, aus denen eine Datenbank und ihre Instanz bestehen, die Bedeutung von Speicherbereichen und Schemaobjekten. Die Besonderheiten einer Containerdatenbank gegenüber der älteren Non-CDB Architektur werden beschrieben. Hinweise werden gegeben, welche Initialisierungsparameter besser auf ihren Vorgabewerten belassen und welche unbedingt angepasst werden sollten. Besonderen Raum wurde dem Thema Backup und Recovery eingeräumt. Es wird gezeigt, welche Befehle in einem Sicherungsskript nicht fehlen sollten und wie Schäden an einer Oracle Datenbank erkannt und repariert werden können. Nach der Lektüre sollten sich Leserinnen und Leser nicht mehr orientierungslos gegenüber einer Oracle Datenbank fühlen.  Der InhaltEinführung (Geschichte und Versionsentwicklung von Oracle)Installation (Editionen, Einzelinstanz, RAC, Non-CDB, Containerdatenbank)Datenbank Grundlagen (Aufbau von Datenbank und Instanz, Schemaobjekte, Containerarchitektur)Backup und Recovery (Aufsetzen einer soliden Datenbanksicherung, Wiederherstellungsszenarien)Die ZielgruppenNeueinsteiger in das Thema Oracle DatenbankadministrationWiederkehrer, deren Oracle Wissensstand vor einigen Versionen auf Eis gelegt wurdeMySQL-Administratoren, die neu mit der Betreuung von Oracle Datenbanken beauftragt worden sindDer AutorThorsten Grebeberät und betreut seit über 15 Jahren Organisationen aus Wirtschaft und öffentlichem Dienst zur Oracle Datenbank.

The LNCS journal Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems focuses on data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing, which are core and hot topics in computer science. Since the 1990s, the Internet has become the main driving force behind application development in all domains. An increase in the demand for resource sharing across different sites connected through networks has led to an evolution of data- and knowledge-management systems from centralized systems to decentralized systems enabling large-scale distributed applications providing high scalability. Current decentralized systems still focus on data and knowledge as their main resource. Feasibility of these systems relies basically on P2P (peer-to-peer) techniques and the support of agent systems with scaling and decentralized control. Synergy between Grids, P2P systems, and agent technologies is the key to data- and knowledge-centered systems in large-scale environments.This, the third issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains two kinds of papers: Firstly, a selection of the best papers from the third International Conference on Data Management in Grid and Peer-to-Peer Systems, Globe 2010, and secondly, a selection of 6 papers from the 18 papers submitted in response to the call for papers for this issue. The topics covered by this special issue include replication, the semantic web, information retrieval, data storage, source selection, and large-scale distributed applications.
