A Good Day
Yesterday was a good day up at the Scottish OUG in Edinburgh. Thanks to a little encouragement from Anjo Kolk we saw Mogens Norgaard in a kilt, not perhaps the best thing in the world to be greeted with at 9am. Doug Burns presented on Parallel Execution, you can read his paper here and if like me you have never really investigated parallel operations, (not really feasible with single-user scripts on a single-cpu machine) it is an excellent discussion of the topic.
Over in the applications/business stream Mark Rittman presented on Business Intelligence in 10g (direct download link), the attendees were almost evenly split between technical guys and business/application oriented delegates which is unusual for this sort of event. It made me think a lot about how little many DBAs (including myself) really know about what is going on the Application Server world.
Thanks to Garry Derrick and Thomas Presslie of the Scottish OUG for inviting me and for the splendid hospitality, and to Lavinia Burns of UKOUG for organising an excellent day.
