Hello everyone,

Now I am back in Norway, and it is time for looking back and reminisce about my amazing
and memorable summer at CERN. So, today I will tell you about my experiences from my
Summer Internship.

I have been one of the 23 students participating in the CERN openlab summer student programme this year. Like two of my fellow students in the database group, Sneha and Anti already did, I want to share some insights into the project I worked on and in general about my experience with the summer programme. Thus, the post is divided into a general part and a technical part, which will sum up what I did with OpenStack and its component Trove.

Are you calling external C libraries from inside your Oracle SQL? Especially if those calls are made on a row-by-row basis you might see a significant performance benefit from calling your external C libraries via Java!
