I guess I have only one and a half posts about COLLABORATE 08 this year. It’s a bit unfortunate that I couldn’t make the whole conference, but only last day-and-a-half. In addition, I’ve been speaking at the two lasts slots of the conference so it’s been quite busy for me. I hope this one long blog post will be accepted in place of several smaller ones.
Here are the slides and links I am using for the “Database Security Using White-Hat Google Hacking” at the 2008 MySQL Users Conference and Expo.
I’m at Collaborate 08 in Denver right now.My presentation, Oracle 11g New Features Out of the Box, was originally scheduled on Thursday at 9:45 AM but due to participation in the speaker panel ,”To RAC or Not To RAC: What’s Best for HA?”, it was rescheduled to today, Wednesday, at 4:30 PM. I’m off to the Carol Dacko’s presentation about DBMS_XPLAN now and looking forward to show up at the RAC SIG Birds of a Feather later today. Stay tuned – more to come…
Yesterday I presented “Best Practices for Database Administrators” at the MySQL User Conference and Expo. There are links to the slides and video in this post.
Jonathan Schwartz’s Keynote at the 2008 MySQL Conference can be played from the embedded video at the bottom of this post or directly at YouTube (follow the link in this post)
I arrived at Santa Clara yesterday, just in time for the MySQL Community dinner (check this post on Arjen’s blog). It was a lot of fun, not to mention the opportunity to talk to developers and other folks from MySQL/Sun. I’ve been to a bunch of great presentations and sessions so far, have a look at my post to find out more and stay tuned for updates.
I am finally able to announce when and where the Pythian BoF session has been scheduled! It will be in the Alameda room, 7:30-8:30pm on Tuesday, April 15th. The session, titled “Ask the Pythian Maestro”, will be attended by myself and our two MySQL team leads, Sheeri K. Cabral and Augusto Bott.
Today is Hotsos Symposium 2008 Training Day — one full day with Tom Kyte. FInd out how I spent my last day at the Hotsos Symposium 2008.
The symposia is still ongoing and my head is slowly filling up — relieved from my presentation, finally, I’m able to focus on others’ sessions. I attended Wolfgang Breitling’s presentation on “Active Statistics”. He provided a lot of insights into statistics gathering options and emphasized lots of new features in 11g. Have a look at my post to read about some of the other great presentations I attended.
First of all “the before” time is over — I’m done with my presentation. It’s been the first slot of the day — 8:30 and Cary Milsap was presenting in another hall so what chances do I have to get people in? It turned out that some people actually did show up and quite a few considering the circumstances. To find out more about the other great presentations I saw today keep reading. If not, stay tuned — more to come.
