anticipate seeing people from all over the continent at UKOUG. The attendance over the past few years has been growing and nothing short of astounding. I am giving two papers at the show … one on a dear friend of us all called rman and the other on a close second … the physical standby. For me, even in the midst of emerging technology solutions, there’s still nothing like the old-fashioned Oracle CORE database arena.
I returned from AUSOUG conference in Perth (Australia) just last week. This blog is my report from the conference for the days 0 and 1.

If you ever used SQL server Database Engine Tuning Advisor then you know you have few options as a source of analysis workload, here they are.
While Oracle does supply a list of RPMs that must be installed on a Linux system, that information does not help you in determining which Oracle files are dependent on the RPMs in question. If the list of RPMs to be updated is small, it may even be that that few, if any of the Oracle files on a server may be affected. Here’s how that can be determined.
If you do any performance tuning , and everyone does, then you’ll come to a point where you want to know if your tables have sufficient indexes to serve the queries fast, here’s how.
If you haven’t considered attending the AUSOUG conference in Perth yet, you definitely should!

After an in place upgrade of SQL server 2005 to SQL server 2008 R2 , I tried to open SQL errorlog from Management> SQL server logs but I got the following error. Here’s how I fixed it.
A simple example of BBCode would be to make some text bold , this can be simply written like that [b]Bold Text[/b] or italic [i]italic text[/i]. In HTML , this can be done by font tags (deprecated in newer HTML versions) or CSS text properties. I tell you what! I’m writing this blog and I’m even using some BBCode tags to format text.
Automatic degree of parallelism, or Auto DOP, is a new feature in 11gR2 that promises to help manage systems where large subset of the workload runs with parallel processing.

So this is worth reading even if you are familiar with the feature.
