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.

Hash Natural Join

To perform hash join, Oracle follows these steps: 1.      Oracle chooses the smallest of two tables as the hash table (otherwise called as driving table). Oracle built the hash table in RAM after applying the hash function on the joining column(s) of the driving table. 2.      Oracle chooses the other [big] table as the probe table (otherwise called as driven table or probing table). It traverse through all the records of this probe table, applies the same hash function on the joining column(s) [column(s) used to join these two tables] and will hit the corresponding entry in the hash table. 3.      Oracle returns the output if a record from driving table is already present in the same hash key, else no record will be returned. It may look like Nested loop join & Hash join have the same architecture since both these have the concept of driving & driven tables but they have entirely different design if you closely look a...

External Table

External Table is the another type of table which is supported by Oracle apart from IOT and Cluster table. External tables allow Oracle to query data that is stored outside the database in flat files. The ORACLE_LOADER (an in-built driver provided by Oracle itself) can be used to access any data stored in any format that can be loaded by invoking SQL*Loader (an in-built utility provided by Oracle itself to load the data from the flat file into the data table). External tables enable us to read flat-files (stored on the O/S) using SQL. They have been introduced in Oracle 9i as an alternative to SQL*Loader. External tables are essentially stored SQL*Loader control files, but because they are defined as tables, we can access our flat-file data using all available read-only SQL and PL/SQL operations. We can also read flat-files in parallel and join files to other files or tables, views and so on. In this example, the data file (emp.txt) is placed in the location, “C:\test”. Then you ...

Bitmap index

Bitmap index is one of the index types that is supported by oracle. Unlike B*tree index, this is very compressed index. It means if I create a bitmap index on a column, then the generated index table will be smaller when compared the index table which is generated by the binary index on the same column. The reason is, in bitmap index, ROWIDs won’t be stored in the index table, instead index values will be mapped against bitmaps. Bitmap is nothing but it stores either of this values, 1(Match) or 0(No Match). For each distinct values in the column, a separate index record will be created. Unlike b*tree index, bitmap index can accept NULL and it creates separate index entry for this. Bitmap index will work better if number of distinct values are relatively less when compared to the total number of records. Why is it referred as “relatively less”? this index will work fine if table of 1,000,000,000 records contains 5000 distinct values and if table of 1,000 records contains 5 distinct va...
