I’m not nervous about flying, but I am nervous about being late for flights, so day 2 was a complex day for me. The plan was to teach from 9:00-17:00 then go straight to the airport and leave. Having the deadline for the airport in the back of my mind all day meant I was [...]
That’s day 1 over as far as teaching is concerned. The audience is quite a diverse mix. Everything from 6 months to 10+ years of Oracle experience and from variety of countries too. I’ve even got a member of Oracle staff in the group. I wonder if he’s a spy… It’s always dangerous to start [...]
I got to Slovakia with no major trauma. I also had enough time to have a quick look round. There are some photos here if you are interested. As always, I used the shotgun approach. Several shots of each scene in the hope something would come out looking OK. Not sure if I’ll have time [...]
I’ve put a new version of my PL/SQL FTP API (ftp.pks, ftp.pkb) live today. The changes are also reflected in the associated article. Over the years a number of people have contributed suggestions and actual code for it. Where possible their names are reflected in the amendment history. Cheers Tim…
Today has been a bit of a rare day… I hurt my back last night at Karate. I managed to get in on a cancellation at my osteopath, so off I went this morning to get everything straightened out. I left the osteopath just in time to get to the Prometric test center down the [...]
I’ve just completed day 1 of my PL/SQL workshop in Estonia. The first few minutes proved especially eventful! When I did my workshop in Copenhagen, I had a lot of trouble with the projector. This morning I plugged the projector into my laptop and all was well. I even made a joke about how well [...]
I’ll be in Estonia on the 3rd & 4th of June doing a PL/SQL seminar. I’m guessing the details will be available here in the next day or two. Cheers Tim… PS. If I get any more dates I’m printing a “World Tour” T shirt.
On the surface, the changes to PL/SQL look rather minor, but there is some seriously cool stuff in there. I originally intended to write a single article, but some sections got too big so I thought it was worth sectioning them out into separate articles. PL/SQL New Features and Enhancements in Oracle Database 11g Release [...]
