oracle partner workshop : database 10g
Last month I had an application server seminar I blogged in SOA . Yesterday it was database 10g day.
First we had exactly the same talk about EMEA marketing, vision, partner and blabla for one hour. I did not expect to hear this comparison between Oracle Database and the C: prompt (origin) and fusion and mswin (ultimative achievement)... I almost told him than the C: prompt was not the first think to appear in MSDOS, but the A: prompt, well, if I will say it next time ;-)
The workshop appeared to be 100% pure Dormicum™. We heared about partitioning, parallel query, real application cluster, flashback database, undo management, in about 250 powerpoint slides and not a single line of sql in the whole presentation. Well, not willing to blame the teacher, I just felt losing my time listening to this superficial presentation of oracle database.
About the things I found interesting :
- Using the listener as http server. Especially interesting is to use lsnrctl star to start the listener (just joking).
than I should be able with the package DBMS_EPG to administer the website
- An Excel plugin : well, if your marketing department is hooked on excel, there is a plugin which enable you some connectivity within your spreadsheet. You can download it on otn for free on BI Spreadsheet Addin. I did not try it yet, but it did look sexy.
- As last month, the pause has been enjoyable. Fine starters, great cat fish, delicious dessert, No wine at lunch time, I had to wait until at 5pm!
