Search the ZOIS Web Site

Search the public parts of the ZOIS web site with a Perl Regular Expression entered in the from below.

case sensitive
 

If you are not familiar with Regular Expressions:

• The character `.' matches any character;
• `[abc]' matches `a' or `b' or `c';
• `[a-c]' matches the range of characters;
• the character `\' escapes things, (so `\.' matches `.' and `\\' matches `\');
• `*' means any number of the last character, so `fo*' matches `f', `fo' and `fooo', especially useful with `.' as in `foo.*bar' a line with `foo' and `bar' in it;
• `|' allows an `or-ed' search for words, as in `DEC|Digital'.

This list and explanation is not exhaustive, and there's no need to go mad, the site isn't that enormous.

Navigation

This is some navigation, it should appear at the side if the page is wide, and at the bottom if it is not.

Highlights

This site is mainly about On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP). We've some other papers on this:

• Something for non-cognoscente.
• The executive summary.
• OLTP and big computers.
• OLTP and reliability.
• What Transactions are about.
• The need for scaling.
• Tuxedo.
• CICS.

Also of Interest

Juicy morsels from the rest of the site:

• Some site news; it's a sort of infrequently updated journal for the author too.
• Rather specific Technical Notes, the author can still bore people in the Historic Third-person.
• Of the little hacks that have been done recently, the Unofficial Jobcentre Plus Mirror seems to have gained the most traction.
• Other ephemeral, eclectic stuff. Mostly photographs.
• A series of Gormless Anecdotes, basically recycled e-mails.
