Miracle Scotland Database Forum Agenda Online

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.
