But there were a few very good presentations on the data warehouse design, modeling, ETL and tuning areas and the attendees were more interested on those presentations than the ones on BI tools. I saw more than 250 people in the conference rooms for the presentations by Ian Abramson, Vincent Chazhoor and Ben Bor. I attended a few presentations on the discoverer/tools side also and there were not many people in those rooms in most of the cases.

Doing three presentations myself, much of the time between presentations was taken up by practicing, going through slides and so on. So I didn’t really get to see if there were any other talks on data warehousing. One talk I did got to was George Lumpkin’s one on data warehousing architectures. I’d read the slides from the previous time he’d run it at Open World, and I was curious to know what his rationale was, how he was doing away with the ODS and so forth. But no, I can’t really comment on why there were so few DW papers (if indeed there were) as I didn’t get a chance to go to many talks other than my ones or the BI tools ones. Hi there,

I got a feeling that the focus of most of the papers are on discoverer and analytic tools rather than the database side. Oracle is mainly used as a database for data warehouse and the anlytical side is not very ‘mature’. I can understand if this happens in the Oracle Open world. But it was rather strange to see it in IOUG. Could use please comment on the papers on the non-analytical area and why there are not any papers on that area this year. Hi Mark,
