Off To Manchester

Well that's it for the rest of the week for me. I'm off up to Manchester for Jonathan Lewis' "Optimising Oracle, Performance By Design" seminar for the next three days, and as no doubt I'll be back in the hotel each evening trying out some of Jonathan's ideas on the laptop I'm definitely leaving the blog alone for the next few days. When I'm back from the course I'll go through some of the concepts that Jonathan raises, and I'm particularly looking forward to an in-depth look at the cost-based optimiser, latches and locks and parsing and optimiser costs. How sad am I? Anyway, bye for now and I'll be back next week.
