Viewing Figures

It’s time for another landmark. The blog hit 3,000,000 views on 30th November  - but I’ve been too busy to do my usual analysis of posts. The latest half million took 42 weeks (five weeks less than the previous half million increment) and here are the latest stats on popular views:

A couple of old favourites (dbms_xplan in 10g and SQL Profiles (10g) have finally fallen off the top slots, and Cartesian Merge Join didn’t make it back after slipping last year – but it’s interesting (and not entirely surprising) to see how NOT IN is still coming up after so many years.

The other statistic of note is the number of followers the blog has, currently 1,197 (although it was 1,185 on 30th Nov – I probably picked up a few more immediately after the UKOUG annual conference).
