Oracle by Example portal now shows 12g

A quick post… which is a bit interesting…

As I was searching for Exadata viewlets in Oracle By Example portal (http://goo.gl/HjshR) I clicked on the “Advanced Search”

and then filtered by Product Family (Database) and then by Product…

to my surprise there was an option for “Database 12g”….

oh well.. I checked on the Lifetime Support Policy (http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/lifetime-support-technology-069183.pdf) and looking at the release dates
it could be possible that they will release the new version anytime this year..

could be in Oracle Open World 2011? hmmm…

 

 

Oracle Closed World and Unconference Presentations

There are so many things to blog about these past few days. That is mainly about the cool stuffs around OCW and OOW, sessions that I have attended (OCW, unconference, OOW), plus the interesting people that I’ve met on various areas of expertise.. So I’ll be posting some highlights (and a lot of photos) on the next posts.

Last Monday (Sept. 20) I was able to present at the Oracle Closed World @ Thirsty Bear. The full agenda is here http://www.amiando.com/ocw.html?page=434169

I did my presentation after Tanel’s live hacking session. There were 30 (+-5) attendees and some of guys are also OakTable members, that was the first time I presented my material to such a geeky audience (that is drinking beer at the same time) and I was sure they’ll love what I have to share. So I pulled it off (although a bit nervous), and at the end of the session I’ve got some questions + nice comments from the guys. Especially from Mark Farnham where we had a small discussion about how interesting it would be to have a multiple regression of AAS to the different subsystems (cpu,memory,storage,network) plus having the facility to identify their cross sections. It was truly an awesome “meat.beer.explode” experience, plus I’ve got this cool shirt!

My Oracle Unconference presentation covers the same theme but has more details and scenarios. It was the time where Larry was about to do his second “Keynote” so I was expecting few attendees but I had a great time too and happy to show how to use the Perfsheet to one of the attendees (for his reporting purposes) plus a little discussion about the problems he’s having around his environment.

To all the guys that attended my session, thanks a lot! and I hope I’ve shared you some good stuff  :)

OOW 2010 – my schedule

I was able to finalize my schedule a week before the OOW 2010 and most of the sessions that I’ll be attending are related to Performance & Exadata. So that would be: 13 conference sessions, 6 unconference, 4 users group, 3 meetups, and 1 panel, +1 Oracle Closed World. You can check my detailed schedule below … (I know it’s a jam-packed sched! I hope I can go to all of them..) This will be my first time attending the OOW and I’m sure I’ll be having a superb time I’m registered as a Blogger so I got the full conference pass for FREE. I’ll be updating this blog as much as I can with small write ups, photos & videos about the conference so keep posted.

Plus it will be my birthday on Sept. 21st so you can send/give your gifts to me by going to my unconference session on Sept. 22nd 2pm Mason at Hotel Parc 55, I’ll be talking about a topic that is very dear to my heart.. that is Mining the AWR repository and making use of it for Capacity Planning, Visualization, & other real world stuff.. you can check out the mind map of my presentation here http://sites.google.com/site/karlarao/mindmap/mining-the-awr-repository

And one more thing, I’m excited to finally meet the people I happen to chat and exchange ideas that made me learn a lot of technical stuff that really helped me grow as a DBA for the past years. Expect a fan picture from me and a fan photo album coming :p
