UKOUG Conference 2005
The annual conference of the UK Oracle Users Group is now only 5 weeks or so away. This conference, which is the largest Oracle gathering in Europe and is a user driven rather than Oracle marketing driven event, takes place in Birmingham UK from October 31 to November 2nd. For those of you that book early enough and can get there on Sunday this year we are introducing an Oak Table day. 10 presentations you won't get to see at the conference (including Graham Wood on why you don't need 10046) and with limited audience (meaning you get to pester the oakies afterwards). The conference agenda is up here, and I am lucky enough to have had two presentations accepted. These are
In Search of Lost Time:
This will be a practical biased introduction to and demo of performance tuning based on extended sql trace. If you've read Cary Millsap's book or heard of response time based tuning, but haven't really seen how it might apply to your day to day work, then you are the audience I have in mind. It won't be a rehash of Cary's book, it will attempt to show how you can apply this approach to performance tuning in real life.
Snatches of Eternity:
This is a suggestion as to how one might implement end to end tracing in the versions of Oracle currently in wide use for connection pooled and uninstrumented applications. Hopefully it will address a whole class of applications that are currently almost untunable. It will however require some experienced dba intervention in application setup.
Mogens normally press gangs me onto the server panel as well. A brief glance at the agenda suggests that Wednesday morning will therefore be somewhat intense for me.
In addition I now am co-chair of the Oracle on Windows special interest group and intend therefore to be around for the focus pubs on Monday night. Come see us. Suggest content for the SIG meetings in 2006 and even better volunteer to present. It may become an out of focus pub later on but there you go.
Monday night is also I think the night of the bloggers dinner that Mark Rittman suggested. As Mark is also a sig chair I think it is clear that this will happen after the focus pubs. I intend to be there, I'm sure Lisa Dobson of the Oracle Newbies blog, and an excellent SIG deputy chair will be there (we'll keep her supplied with alcohol rather than water just in case) and hopefully Tom Kyte might make an appearance as well.

Any chance you will post your presentation here for those "on the other side of the pond"??
