India vs Australia : Most Awaited sporting event of the year


So, here comes the time for the most awaited Sports event of the year. Most of us will be in MCG for series opener to support our teams.

I guess the series will be battle between Indian Senior Batters Vs Aussie young bowlers.
Both teams are having injury problems. Some key players are out due to injuries but still series will have its own charm and will be full of excitement. 

By looking at practice match stats, I am sure Sachin -- the master -- the best cricket player ever, will get his much awaited 100th 100 in this series may be even in series opener. Boy believe me, he will have terrific series with the bat. I will be not surprise if he gets MOS (man of the series) award and if it happen really then India will have great chance to win the series.

 May be this will be last series (Between Aus and India in Aus) for some of the great players of the decade like Dravid, Laxman, Ponting and Hussey. These guys will be ready to show their characters, mettle and prove why they are so important for their team and to the game of cricket. They will make sure to have last and most impact on this series.

On the other hand newcomers like Rohit Sharma, Kohli, Ashwin, Ojha, Warner, Marsh, Pattinson and Christian will test and find what it means when these two biggies plays against each other. All these players are proven cricketers in shorter format but first time they will be part of such an intense battle in longer and oldest format of cricket. I am sure this series will build the solid platform for these young lads.

This series will be acid test for Kangaroo’s captain Clarke and team India, the reigning World Champion’s (ODI), captain Dhoni. I think first time they are playing against each other in this role. The pup, Clarke, will be ready to show the world that his team formation is on correct track and they can beat the giants while on the other hand Mr. So COOL, Dhoni, will try to show the world that his team can be World Champion even in the longer format of cricket. 

The leader who will remain cool, who will handle public and media pressure, who will come up with innovative field placing, bowling changes and batting order, who will match the expectations of crowd, who will motivate his team members to maximum, who will enforce other team members to do mistakes, who will acts smartly and who will have less injured players throughout the series will have major say in the series and will win the series.

There will be full packed, electrifying and colourful crowd who will support both the sides and will put the extra pressure on the other side. The fantastic set of commentators who will run the show and will guide us throughout the series. Use of hi-fi technology like Slomo cameras, hawk-eye technology and even referrals which will make this battle beyond imagination. (Surprisingly hotspot is not be used…well well well !!!) Competitions like “Classic Catches”, ”Trivia Questions” which will make the series interesting. The great weather and superbly maintain grounds will encourage players to perform more. Definitely there will be heated incidents, sledging activities, see-saw moments, umpiring mistakes and even, you never know, repeat of new Harbhajan and Symonds rivalry which will make this series so special and entertaining.

Cricket lovers who will be there in stadium and who will be watching on TV sets will enjoy each and every penny they have paid for. No doubt both teams will battle till the last drop and everybody will cherish those moments even after the series.

Though Team Blue looks better in every department than Team Yellow, it will be a close contest. The team which sticks to the basics of the Game will win. So wish all the best for both the sides.

Please let me know if you have any different opinion.

B*Tree Reverse index

B*Tree Reverse index is one of the index types that is supported by oracle. It more or less behaves like b*tree unique & non-unique index but only difference is the way it constructs the tree. In this index, index value is stored in the reverse direction when compared to the values in the actual data table. This index is used in order to distribute the index data evenly across all the leaf index nodes if table data is skewed very high. Like b*tree index, this index doesn’t understand NULL. This B*Tree Reverse index can be created on a single column or more than one column. More than one B*Tree Reverse index can be created for the same data table. HOW TO VERIFY: How to verify whether the created index is reverse index or not? Fire this query, select index_type from user_indexes where index_name = 'DEPT_ID_INDX' ð   This query would return “ NORMAL/REV ” (it means it is B*Tree index but of “Reverse” type) LITTLE-KNOWN FACTS TO BE REMEMBERED: ·          If this B*Tree Reve

Nested Loop Outer Join

Before we go into this topic in detail, first we will understand what outer join is meant by. For an example, take 2 tables which have to be joined, say “Parent” table & “Child” table [I have taken these table names, only to discuss this topic in an easy way]. If Child table is outer joined with Parent table, then you can say, the matching records from both these tables will be retrieved and then the records which are available only in Parent table will also be retrieved though the corresponding matching records are not available in Child table. This is called outer join. [in natural or equi-join, only the matching records from both the tables will be retrieved.] To perform this outer join, 3 different join techniques have been provided by oracle. ·          Nested loop outer join ·          Hash outer join ·          Sort merge outer join In this, we will discuss about nested loop outer join. To perform this nested loop outer join, Oracle follows these steps (assume, child ta

Index Fast Full Scan

Index Fast Full Scan is one of the index access methods supported by Oracle. Index Fast Full Scan is otherwise called as Fast Full Index Scan also. Index Fast Full Scan can be imposed by Oracle Optimizer only in the certain scenario. The scenario where this index would be invoked is, Whenever the Oracle SQL optimizer detects that the query is serviceable without touching table rows, Oracle invokes this fast full index scan and quickly reads every block of the index without touching the table itself provided that query doesn’t contain any ORDER BY clause. The definition for this scan is more or less similar to the index full scan but the only difference is that former  will be invoked when ORDER BY clause is not mentioned in the query. It differs from the index full scan in another way where output won’t be in the sorted order since ORDER BY clause is not mentioned. If Oracle detects the query is serviceable without touching the table rows, it means, all the columns mentioned in th
