May Database SIG Meeting
|

Topic:
Oracle in the EMEA by Daniel Morgan
Abstract: We are not absolutely sure what Morgan
will present as he is heading out for two weeks, beginning
May 2nd to Munich Germany at the request of Oracle to take
part in the EMEA (Europe Middle-East Africa) President's
Conference. But along the way he will be spending a few
"quiet" hours in Copenhagen Denmark with Møgens Norgaard. So join us for this surprise presentation
... the raffle item will, we suspect, be a bottle of Miracle
beer.
As always
we invite anyone interested to join us ...
PSOUG membership is not required ...
Dinner will be
served between 5:30 and 6:00pm and is free for
everyone ...
The technical presentation will be from 6:00pm to 7:30pm
Wednesday
May 21st
5:30pm - 7:30pm
Mount Si Room: 500 108th Av NE, 2nd
floor

April Database SIG Meeting
|
|
We had hoped
Oracle VP Barry Perkins would have been able to join us to
talk about optimum hardware platform selection for Oracle
which would have included a discussion of Oracle on zLinux.
Unfortunately, well it is Q4, Barry had to return to
the Bay Area so we called upon two of our local experts to
help us and we, with half-a-day's notice had two unique
presentations
Topic 1: More Oracle Gems from Ace Director Dan Morgan
(University of Washington)
Abstract: Since our March meeting Morgan has found
a couple of new gems in Oracle 10g and 11g and shared
three of them with us. They were:
-
Default
password identification (look at the Fast
Way 4 demo).
-
Finding
Oracle Homes from inside the database (look for Product
Homes).
-
Bulk
Collection and FORALL with triggers (look for
default_pwd$).
Topic 2:
Log Mining from Caleb Small (Camosun College)
Caleb's demo, which will be posted here as soon as we
can get a copy from him, included a review of auditing
methodologies and demonstrated the usage, and
considerations, in using the DBMS_LOGMNR
and DBMS_LOGMNR_D
built-in packages for mining archived redo logs.

Database
Workshops |
Since 2003 when
PSOUG first set up its lab ... our education offerings
have been directed primarily to Oracle's High Availability
feature set and to offering training not offered anywhere else.
That was fine but not everyone is a DBA and not everyone
is able to go to work and spend their time working in
Oracle's latest release with plenty of time to learn about
new features and new "best practices."
To support our members we have begun an on-going series of
3 hour single-subject evening classes. Each one designed
to be hands-on and teach a complete skill set.
Whether your skill set is beginning, intermediate,
advanced, or expert you will want to explore these
workshops further and see how they will be of value to
you. To do so: Click Here. |

Microsoft
SQL Server 2005 |
| Morgan has been
preparing new materials for his program at the University
of Washington and part of what he has done is compare,
feature-for-feature, Microsoft's latest database offering.
He tells us he was not just surprised, but amazed, at the
amount of functionality the Microsoft product lacks: And
he's not done yet. To see the comparison: Click
