News on 2006 Presentations and Papers
February 6th, 2006 by Mark Rittman
I’ve just had two of my presentations accepted for the
ODTUG
Kaleidoscope 2006 conference in Washington D.C. next June.
The first presentation I’ll be doing is the
"Oracle
XML Publisher – What’s It All About?" presentation that I recently gave at
the UKOUG BIRT SIG, and that I’ll also be delivering at the
ODTUG Virtual Conference 2006
on Tuesday, 21st February (agenda
here, warning it’s a PDF). Hopefully by the time that the Virtual Conference
comes along, version 5.6 of XML Publisher should be out and I’ll be able to do a
demo as well.
The other presentation that’s been accepted is "Building an Effective Data
Warehouse Architecture using OWB10gR2", where I’ll be looking at the various
architecture options that OWB10g "Paris" gives you – MOLAP or ROLAP, slowly
changing dimensions, partitioning and so on – and seeing how they can be used to
put together an effective, performant "layered" data warehouse. This one should
be interesting (assuming that Paris will be out by then…) and I’m hoping to to
come out with some best practice-style recommendations as to which features to
use and when.
If you found my recent DBAZine articles on Oracle OLAP performance tuning
useful, the other ODTUG Virtual Conference talk I’ll be doing will be "Best
Practices for the Oracle Database 10g OLAP Option" which will be based on the
ideas and examples in the articles. This presentation is also on the "reserve"
list for the ODTUG event in Washington so if someone else drops out, I’ll be
doing this one as well. As preparation for the two events I’ve tidied up the
DBAZine articles and put them together into a single MS Word document that you
can
download here.
Finally, if you’re interested, I should also be over at the
Collaborate’06 event in Nashville in
April 2006, doing two presentations, one of which will be a joint presentation
on some OLAP and BI Beans work we’ve done with Matt Wertheim over at
QDecisions, and the other on
integrating the OLAP Option with XML Publisher, and I’ll also be doing the
"Oracle BI 10g – The Complete Picture" presentation again (minus the laptop
crashing just before the talk) at the
Irish Oracle Conference & Exhibition on the 22nd March in Dublin.
