Miracle Scotland Database Forum Agenda Online
April 25th, 2007 by Mark Rittman
Doug Burns has already mentioned it earlier this evening, but the draft agenda for the Miracle Scotland Database Forum is now available online, and it looks really good. I work with tools most of the time, but there’s nothing better than metaphorically rolling your sleeves up and working directly with the database, SQL*Plus and the command line.
Looking at the agenda, there’s certainly a lot of the latter lined up; keynotes from Jonathan Lewis and Graham Wood (Mr. Statspack and ADDM), Alex Gorbachev on RAC load testing, Fritz Hoogland on tuning multi-tiered J2EE applications, talks by Doug on Dtrace and Carel-Jan Engel on Data Guard and recovering from logical errors, plus lots of social events mainly revolving around castles and whisky. After having been on best behavior last week as an official UKOUG representive, it’ll be good to let my hair down, meet up with some old and new friends, and listen to some honest-to-goodness database and system tuning talks. I can’t wait.

And even then, you can’t say that about most conferences ;-)

Mark, would you re-post your old review “OWB vs. Informatica” – the existing link seems to be broken. And if you have more recent thoughts to share on this subject, it would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Vad, I think the one you’re looking for is here:

Since then, I’ve not really written about or looked at Informatica, although I am due to review it soon in the context of it’s OBI EE role. When I do, I’ll post some more then.
regards
Mark
