I finally got around to getting a few pictures I took during my time at GLOC uploaded so I thought I would share. First, the hotel that the conference had a discount for was the Hyatt Regency Cleveland at The Arcade. Now, typically I don’t care much about what hotel I stay in, but this… Read More »
The conference was a great event. I learned about several new things, and now I have some homework to do to get further into the details. My favorite sessions were the 2 from Carlos Sierra on SQLT and Adaptive Cursor Sharing as well as Craig Shallahamer’s session on Child Cursors. It was great to hear… Read More »
Arrived in Cleveland today for the Great Lakes Oracle Conference pre-conference workshops. I attended Craig Shallahamer‘s presentation on Oracle Performance. A lot of great information packed into 2 hours. More than anything, I like that from this quick presentation I was able to get a sense of how Craig does his performance troubleshooting. He clearly… Read More »

The questions I got were good, and makes me feel I need to add more to the presentation about how to use the… Read More »

Luckily for me there is 30 minutes between the prior presentation and when I present, so I will have plenty of time to set up without having to duck out early from the previous session. Below is my planned schedule for… Read More »
I will be presenting my “Executing Explain Plans and Explaining Execution Plans” presentation at the NEOOUG Two Day Oracle Training Seminar in Cleveland. This will be a great conference, and I am amazed at how cheap it is for the quality of presenters. I am more impressed with the people of NEOOUG every time I… Read More »
On Friday, I presented 2 presentations for the Northeast Ohio Users Group and came away feeling pretty good. The presentations were on Execution Plans and Index Myths, and both seemed to be pretty well received. I lost one of my slides in the Explain Plans portion, but other than that it went pretty smoothly (at… Read More »
