Microsoft-Organized Consortium Buying Novell Patents Are Apple, Oracle, MS, and EMC - Updated 3Xs
It's being reported on MacRumors that the members of the consortium put together by Microsoft to buy the 882 patents from Novell are Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, and EMC:
Breaking news: Twitter user @VM_gville just pointed me to the website of the German federal antitrust authority ("Bundeskartellamt"), which discloses a merger (or more precisely, joint venture) notification filed a week ago (on 09 December 2010), according to which the four companies behind CPTN Holdings LLC -- the acquirer of 882 Novell patents -- are Microsoft, Apple, EMC, and Oracle. The product market in which the newly formed company plans to operate is defined as "patents"
Here's the page where you can see the notation on the Bundeskartellamt website:
09.12.2010 - B5-148/10 - Unternehmen:
Microsoft, Apple, EMC u. Oracle / CPTN Holdings LLC (Anteilserw.+GU-Gründung)
Produktmärkte: Patente
So what's the common interest? "Let's all kill Android"? There's a limit on that, in that Google is also an Open Invention Network member, so it has a license to these Novell patents already. Of course there could be more than one theme, virtualization, office suites.

dbix::class::storage::dbi::oracle::wherejoins

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins(3)	User Contributed Perl Documentation	  DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins(3)

NAME

       DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Oracle::WhereJoins - Oracle joins in WHERE syntax support (instead of ANSI).

PURPOSE

       This module is used with Oracle < 9.0 due to lack of support for standard ANSI join syntax.

SYNOPSIS

       DBIx::Class should automagically detect Oracle and use this module with no work from you.

DESCRIPTION

       This class implements Oracle's WhereJoin support.  Instead of:

	   SELECT x FROM y JOIN z ON y.id = z.id

       It will write:

	   SELECT x FROM y, z WHERE y.id = z.id

       It should properly support left joins, and right joins.	Full outer joins are not possible due to the fact that Oracle requires the entire
       query be written to union the results of a left and right join, and by the time this module is called to create the where query and table
       definition part of the SQL query, it's already too late.

METHODS

       See DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::OracleJoins for implementation details.

BUGS

       Does not support full outer joins.  Probably lots more.
