LewisC’s An Expert’s Guide To Oracle Technology
Since I started working at EnterpriseDB, I have mostly been working from home. I’ve traveled to NJ several times
and to quite a few conferences but mostly it’s a work from home gig. I thought I would share some things I have
learned in that time.
10 Things About Telecommuting Everyone Should Know
I recently had an opportunity to do a deeper dive into a performance issue related to the performance of a PIPELINED function. The results weren’t quite what I had expected, so I thought they may be of general interest. As with many performance issues, the issues encountered here are likely data- and database-specific. This was [...]
I use a couple of venues to generate new material, new talking material every year. Hotsos symposium has always been one, Oracle University Seminars have been another. Oracle OpenWorld is definitely one as well.
Well, believe it or not, it is time for me to submit my abstract for Oracle OpenWorld already - even though it is not until September. So, it is time to come up with yet another topic. I’ve been known to do a “top ten” style presentation for a while at OpenWorld - the last few years have been top tens on 9i Release 2, 10g Releases 1 and 2 and most recently - 11g Release 1. Intermixed with that was a database ‘worst practices’ presentation as well.
So, now - I’m looking for some fresh ideas. A topic that can be well covered in an hour and would have broad general appeal. In reality - if I get a couple of good ideas, I’ll probably generate the material for all of them but just pick one (maybe two) for presentation at OpenWorld.
So, I invite you to submit an idea - doesn’t have to be fully fleshed out - just a concept, something you would find useful at a venue such as OpenWorld (or a presentation to a user group - as this is where this material will be used time and time again…)
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Tomorrow, I’m headed to Denver for Collaborate 08. My schedule is pretty sparse, so if you want to hang out, tweet at me during the conference. Or if you prefer email, that works too.
I started to collect all the blogs about all the sessions people are holding, attending, recommending at Collaborate, but I soon gave [...]
I’m running two of my Oracle BI Masterclass events in the USA later in 2008, in Denver on June 23rd and 24th and Minneapolis on June 26th and 27th. The format is the same as the Oracle BI Masterclasses I’ve been running through Oracle University, but this time they’re arranged through Speak Tech Seminars, who [...]
This time next week I should be back in the UK (but probably still trying to find my baggage at the airport!) after presenting my first conference talk in the USA.
I have been through the slides, made a few adjustments and and cut a CD copy as a backup to my laptop version (and it [...]
(or my database emails have stopped working)
Wotcha.
Here’s the background:
We’re in the latter stages of preparing for a production upgrade to 11g (2 weeks to go).
Best practice would say that we should have a stable database by now and very high confidence factor, but the truth is that the production upgrade coincides with a new [...]
I just replaced the default wordpress comments by Disqus comments. Disqus enable you to track your comments add picture and other fancy staff.
I have been looking for such a plugin for a very long time (and was too foul to develop it myself).
The amazing bonus with Disqus is that you can post code! Your [...]
