I am back on the road, going to RMOUG Training Days to present The Answer to Free Memory, Swap, Oracle, and Everything.
I am quite excited, as the RMOUG schedule (PDF) looks quite promising, especially these presentations:
- Further RMAN Optimizations in 11g — Stephan Haisley
- Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting: No Magic is Needed — Tanel Poder
- Understanding Oracle Execution Plans: How SQL is Really Executed — Tanel Poder
- The SAN is Guilty until proven otherwise — Gaja Krishna Vaidyanatha
Some of these overlap, so I guess I will have to make a difficult choice.
I hope to see you all in Denver.

Congratulations to Christo, Senior (and stylish!) DBA for The Pythian Group, on his spread in the July/August issue of Oracle Magazine, which you can download! Just jump straight to page 41 (not page 3), feast your eyes and hear what he has to say about Oracle Enterprise Manager! Here’s a sneak preview!
Christo is wearing a conservative but bold button-down russet shirt with pinstripe flat-front trousers, an ensemble that screams, “I’m a world-class DBA, but I don’t have to be one!” Here’s a little more about our Christo!
Turn-Ons:
- long row-level locks on the beach
- the soft whine of a disk spinning up
- lounging by a contiguous shared pool
- a nice RAC
- saving his clients time and money (Paul made me write this one, okay?)
Turn-Offs:
For those of you who’d like to meet him in the flesh, don’t forget — Christo will be making appearances at Oracle conferences throughout the year!
