[Oracle NoSQL Database Announce] Announcement: Oracle NoSQL Database 12.1.3.3.4

[Announcements related to the Oracle NoSQL Database.]

We are very pleased to announce the availability of Oracle NoSQL 
Database 12c (12.1.3.3.4).  It is available for download immediately 
from our OTN download page 
<http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/nosqldb/downloads/index.html>.  
Please forward this announcement widely.

Oracle NoSQL Database 12.1.3.3.4 adds several new security features and 
supports new language interfaces for Node.js and Python.  We strongly 
recommend that users upgrade to this release to take advantage of these 
new features.

_New Security Features: _  Users are now able to enforce table-level 
access checks through both the API and administrative command line 
interface (Admin CLI) by using a new series of table-specific privileges.

Modifications to the data definition language (DDL) have been added to 
provide a declarative interface to all security operations.

Users are now able to create new roles to group together privileges or 
other roles. This provides a way to grant a group of desired privileges 
to a user. New role management commands have been added to support 
create and drop roles, and to grant and revoke privileges or roles to 
and from other roles.

Passwords now have lifetimes and will expire when they have been in use 
beyond the specified lifetime. It is also possible now to explicitly 
expire a password when adding a new user or by altering the profile of 
an existing user. Users are required to renew the expired password 
before they can log in to the store.

_Oracle NoSQL for Node.js and Python (preview): _ Oracle NoSQL 3.3.4 has 
added support for Node.js and Python.  The Node.js driver is available 
at npm <https://www.npmjs.com/package/nosqldb-oraclejs> and the Python 
driver is available at the Python Software Foundation 
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nosqldb>.

_Oracle NoSQL now used for Database Mobile Server: _ Oracle Database 
Mobile Server 12.1.0.0.0 now uses Oracle NoSQL Database as the back end 
storage repository.  This allows customers to sync data from thousands 
of IoT devices into a low cost, scalable data repository.
