… I hope Since my earlier posts about plagiarism have achieved their purpose. which were 1) To have copied slides removed from someone else’s presentation.2) To alert various user groups.3) To illustrate to the individual concerned the error of his ways and make a public example of him to others. I have removed the two… Continue reading Plagiarism – Final Update

I was up pretty early on Wednesday to carry on working on my presentation. As I said to someone, once they saw how basic the content was, it would be difficult to see why it takes so long but a lot of it is tweaking with the flow and by going over it so many… Continue reading UKOUG Days Three and Four

Perhaps I was a bit hasty in clicking Save yesterday 😉 I had planned to blog about both the Blogger’s Meet-up and Day Two, but ran out of time. The problem was that I forgot to fix the title of the post. Here was how day two was for me. The first presentation of the… Continue reading UKOUG Day 2

I managed to work on my presentation a bit yesterday afternoon. I was discussing this will Niall later on and there’s a point when you know you are going to be finished and you’ve broken the back of it, but you still have a lot of work to do. That’s where I am at the… Continue reading UKOUG Blogger Meet-up and Day Two

When I blogged about Openworld, I decided not to mention one presentation at the time. I attended Murali Vallath’s “Oracle Parallel Query Feature in a RAC environment” on Sunday afternoon. I almost didn’t because I know the subject pretty well, but I thought I might learn something or see a new angle I could blog… Continue reading Murali Vallath

I have a feeling I might be blogging a little less than usual this week. Work has been busy and my laptop’s power supply packed up late last week so that I didn’t have a chance to get a replacement in time for my presentation. In the end, I gave in and bought a new… Continue reading UKOUG Begins

I just noticed via Greg’s blog that these are available for download now. As Greg mentions, the username/password is cboracle/oraclec6 It doesn’t look like a complete set (yet?) but there’s plenty to rummage around.

OK, it’s a little cheeky to use the blog for this when there are so many forums I could post this on and friends I could ask. What can I say? I have a lot of respect for the people who congregate around here, so …. Does anyone have much experience of migrating their databases… Continue reading Enterprise to Standard?

… and in surprisingly good shape. OK, it was a bit of an insane weekend sleep-wise, but the flight back wasn’t too traumatic, neither was Scotland failing to reach Euro 2008 (well done, lads – great effort) and I tumbled into work only a little bit late today. So, what to make of Openworld? Well,… Continue reading Back to reality …

Yesterday was the best day so far, particularly the morning. To start with, I was feeling a little more human (although still out of bed at 4am). I managed to squeeze in breakfast with APC, three conference sessions and a lovely burger for lunch 😉 First was Jonathan Schwartz’s keynote. You’ll have read plenty about… Continue reading OOW – Day 4 – Performance Day
