A lot is happening here at Oracle Open World, more than my brain can master right now. Exalogic, ZFS storage, Unbreakable Enterprise Linux, Fusion Apps (finally), Oracle VM for Solaris, etc… Some of those topics aren’t that important for me and/or my customers right now, because they are just out of reach like, for example …

Before getting into the more in-depth topics Sam explained XML schema usage, for validation via XML schema validators like for example XML Spy or JDeveloper. This …

Chips. I had an accidental delete from this mini blog post while clicking and editing it via my Android WordPress app on my phone, so here after searching some blog aggregates I have “re-builded” it. Leaves me to say that, if I am correct the games was won, if I am correctly informed, by 42 …

A long presentation title, “Learning from failures, design errors, problematic recoveries and downtime’s. Experience from CERN” from Eric Grancher about, indeed, experiences they learned while trying to handle those 19 Pentabytes of data produced at the CERN institute (?) in Switzerland. As Carol Dacko said just before I entered this session, this conference has so …

OK, next one which looked interesting, and apparently I was not the only one, was Kyle Hailey’s “Visual SQL Tuning”. It’s funny to hear him tell that visual presentation is very important in seeing very quickly correlations which remembers me at a discussion I had with a smart colleague that he wanted to go for …

Not sure if he will also do this presentation …

Click on the picture to enlarge Probably I forget people, but Gwen Shapiro isn’t on this picture or Graham Wood, therefore the mentioning by me of “partial” lineup. As you can see, although there is still a half day to go, this was an impressive gathering of experienced speakers… If you weren’t. Yep. You have …

So actually enjoying now some presentations of my own. Riyaj Shamsudeen did good on his “Advanced RAC Troubleshooting” presentation and now I am enjoying Jeremy Wilton’s “Database Deathmatch: Oracle vs SQL Server”. A presentation about “breaking things”, mainly as Jeremy explained, because he was asked, more then once, to please go back to presentations that …

The “disadvantage” of presenting is that you can’t relax until the last presentation has been done. As some one once said to me, you will have to do your best because those people attending have paid top dollar to be there were they maybe should be working on customer issues getting things along. I try …

So after this fun “Moans The Magnificent” special guest appearance, straight off to my hotel room to prepare my demo session about interfacing via XMLDB functionality. I wasn’t happy with those “old” demo’s so started to fiddle around, dropped half of them and created 2 more complete one’s which made a bit more sense regarding …
