Time for some real marketing here :-). Jonathan Lewis, Cary Millsap, Anjo Kolk, Steve Adams, Bjorn Engsig, James Morle and a few others will be the main speakers at the Database Forum we're doing in Sydney in late May. A couple of days with these guys should prove fun and educational. These days we even have an informal organisation called The OakTable Network (www.OakTable.net) which, for instance, will have a booth at Oracle World in Copenhagen in June where you can ask anything you like, sit around my oak table, and drink beer (well, maybe not that :) ), listen to mini presentations by the guys, and so on.

EoM (End of Marketing).

PS: We'll also try to build the worlds biggest laptop RAC cluster. That's proving a challenge. So far, we've managed to run two nodes on the laptops, but then it becomes harder - much harder. But James, Jonathan and Bjorn are working on it. Wouldn't it be fun if anybody could bring their laptop, plug it in, be part of the RAC thing for some minutes, and then get a certificate stating that the person participated in the worlds biggest, etc...?

Now where
do I go for more Oracle training?

Consider looking at the web sites of the Oracle DBA's who are up on the
latest techniques. They sometimes teach advanced classes. Craig
Shallahamer (www.orapub.com) offers an advanced class, as does Cary Millsap.
Steve Adams recently taught a class in San Francisco. Tim Gorman may give
advanced classes.

The latest and best thinking seems to appear first in papers that are freely
available, and then later appears in books and classes. These four DBA's
offer papers like that on their sites, and link to other sites with more of
the same. After a certain point you have to turn to quality books, papers
and conferences.

If it's classes you want, a clever move might be to take some UNIX or
Windows system administration ones, to broaden your skills into some new
area like that.
