comment BLOB storage in rows
BLOBs are actually stored this way by Oracle already, ie out-of-line in a separate "table" (called a Segment by Oracle).

comment How do you get the explain plan?
If you have followed a course with Jonathan Lewis, then you will know that there are something like 8 different ways to get an execution plan out of Oracle. Please upvote this comment if you want me to add an answer listing all the different methods.

comment Tablespace on ephemeral storage
Great question! One can certainly take a tablespace offline, see docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/tspaces005.htm But I suspect the easiest way to automate this would be to drop the tablespaces before shutting down the Oracle instance. Then there's the issue of what would happen on a machine crash. I'm more of a "logical DBA" so I'll leave it to a "physical DBA" to answer this question.

comment Restrict access for Windows administrator in PostgreSQL
So the answer is no. The Windows administrator on the machine that Postgres (or any software) is installed on can do anything to the installed software and thereby get access.

comment Oracle 10XE: Stop schemas seeing the all_users table?
A bit expensive to host too, as Oracle XE's license limits you to one instance per "server"... see docs.oracle.com/cd/B25329_01/doc/license.102/b25456/…

comment How to design this database to avoid cyclic dependency?
NB The relational model supports doing two inserts or updates as one atomic operation, it's a real shame this isn't supported in SQL (as deferred constraints -- even though I suggested them -- are quite horrible).

You could always used deferred constraints if your DBMS supports them.

comment NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT changing automatically and randomlly
If it's only after each login in SQL*Plus then the most logical place it's happening is in glogin.sql or login.sql (as haki mentions in his answer). See also adp-gmbh.ch/ora/sqlplus/login.html

comment NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT changing automatically and randomlly
What do you mean randomly? After login? Or on each login?
