SQL for Smarties - Joe Celko (1 day class) - $250

SQL For Smarties
Joe, a member of the ANSI SQL committee from 1992 to 2007 is one of the world's leading experts on the SQL language and how to maximize its effectiveness.

Joe last visited us in 2007 and we have had numerous requests to have him return and share his wealth of knowledge with our region's developers.

 
Writing Optimal PL/SQL For Web Applications - Paul Dorsey (2 day class) - $500

Description Coming Soon
 
Advanced Oracle Internals - Richard Foote (2 one day class) - $375 each
An in-depth Oracle Internals presentation on Indexes. Covered will be on all things Oracle indexes (B*Trees, Bitmaps, Context, Linguistic, IOT, Clustered Indexes, etc), on all options (Reverse, Compressed, Partitioned, Function-Based, Invisible, etc) in lots of detail covering lots of internals, tricks, traps and practical examples that one just won't find in general Oracle books and courses. I'll also importantly cover how the CBO treats, costs and uses these indexes when determining optimal execution plans.
 
Storage Techniques, Effective Indexing, and Reorganizing Objects - Tom Kyte (1 day class) - $250

This is a very special treat for our members and guests and we are thrilled to be able to present it to you. Tom is going to spend an entire day covering, in depth, three separate topics. Below are the three titles. Those registering for this class will attend all three for one low price.

Storage Techniques:
How data is stored on disk by Oracle directly affects the speed at which we can retrieve that data (and modify it, and create it and so on). This session will look at the physical structures available to us, discuss when to use each (and when not to!). Techniques such as clustering, index organized storage, partitioning, and compression will be investigated.

Effective Indexing:
Indexing is a large and somewhat ignored topic. We all know that "indexes are good," but what kind of index is appropriate, and under what circumstances? How does the type of index affect us? What are the considerations you want to be thinking of when coming up with your indexing scheme? This session will explore these topics as well as explore the physical structures underlying each discussed index type.

Reorganizing Objects - When and how:
A hotly debated topic is "do I need to reorganize/rebuild indexes and tables?" We will discuss the times when a reorganization or rebuild is relevant, how to measure what you've done (to verify that the work performed did something useful!), and the best techniques for performing a reorganization of data.

Breaking Oracle (1 day) - Jeremiah Wilton (1 day class) - $250

You can't fix it if you can't practice. But how do you practice for something that you can't produce, and reproduce, in a test environment?

Jeremiah's unique experience as the founding member of Amazon.com's DBA team, and his devotion to research, make him uniquely qualified to teach you how to break the Oracle database, triage the problem, and fix it. This is a unique opportunity to learn skills not taught anywhere else.
