A system, method, and computer program product communicate data dictionary information of database objects through a redo stream in the form of metadata, which provides the association between the internal numbers used by a database schema to identify database objects and the corresponding user-defined names of the database objects, in the redo stream itself, so that the association information may be easily and quickly used in the analysis of the redo stream of the database transactions. A method of communicating data dictionary information of database objects through a redo stream comprises the steps of performing a change to a first database data table, logging redo information representing the change to the first database data table to a redo stream, and logging information relating to internal identifier mapping information associated with the first database data table to the redo stream.

A breath analyzing apparatus comprising a collection tube that has at least a first and second breathing entry is provided. The collection tube is hollow such that the breathing entries are in fluid communication with each other. A sensor airway tube is fluidly joined to a central portion of the collection tube by a pin-hole orifice. With this design, a small portion of a breath sample is collected by the sensor airway tube when a user blows into either breathing entry and the majority of the breath sample is expunged out of the opposing breathing entry. The sensor airway tube either houses or is proximate to a sensor that senses the composition of the breath sample. Illumination is used to guide a user on where to blow, when to blow, for how long to blow, as well as to inform the user on the result of the breath analysis.
