Hope everybody enjoyed their holidays and has a great new year.
It's time for a few updates:
1. My presentation for COLLABORATE12 has been accepted. It will be good to be back in front of an audience to present at a user group. My presentation is Keep It Simple. The idea behind it is that I will cover some simple, often overlooked database tuning steps. My desire to present such a topic came about from the work this past year where I've performed database tuning at many different client sites. After seeing some of the same issues come up over and over, I decided there would be value in such a presentation.
2. The Hotsos Symposium is coming up in March. If you haven't registered yet, look into it. This is a really good event that focus on tuning. The information presented and the access to experts makes it a real value.
3. My Oracle Support has announced some changes to their interface. This site is a critical stop for any Oracle DBA, so you need to be aware of any such changes. Oracle has provided a note to keep us informed. Monitor that note for any additional information
