At Oracle OpenWorld in Beijing, Oracle announced Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management, a new module within Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0 portfolio, aimed at optimizing the management of products that consist of a variety of different attributes including styles, colors and sizes. To meet increasingly volatile and specific consumer expectations, manufacturers and distributors need to be able to streamline the management of complex multi-attribute items, Lyle Ekdahl, Oracle group vice president of JD Edwards, tells 5 Minute Briefing. "We definitely wanted to carve out a niche for apparel because of the growth of apparel manufacturing and distribution in emerging markets, but when you take a look at the overall global economy, we think that there are a lot of good uses for the product," says Ekdahl, pointing out that the capabilities of the module can be applied to any industry that deals with multi-attribute items.

Red Gate has launched Data Compare for Oracle, a new tool that compares database table contents, highlights differences, generates SQL scripts to match the tables up, and automatically aligns them if desired. "More and more development teams are automating the building and testing of their Oracle databases," Tom Harris, head of Red Gate's Oracle tools division, tells 5 Minute Briefing. "Driven by an increased enthusiasm for agile development practices and scrum methodologies, many development team leads are borrowing techniques and technologies from application development. Tooling to generate database schemas and populate them with test data that can be run as part of the continuous integration process is key. The Deployment Suite for Oracle from Red Gate Software fills that gap."
