Re: Hotsos Clinic 101 Feedback

Attending a Hotsos Clinic and Hotsos Symposium was very worthwhile. If 
an employer
cannot afford the training time, flexing work hours (or using vacation) 
may be possible.

Note: if you do attend a Hotsos event on your own time,
your company name can be removed from your name tag ;)
Looks like some Hotsos Clinics have been scheduled in 4 countries:
Apr 8 - 10 Chicago, IL, USA
May 13 - 15 London area, UK
Jun 2 - 4 Reykjavik, Iceland
Jun 10 -12 Ottawa, ON, CA
Aug 12 - 14 Denver, CO, USA
Personally, I enjoy listening and learning from Cary, Jeff, and Gary.

Have Fun :)

If you have the time to take a class, take the Hotsos Clinic.  It was the
absolute best performance tuning resource that I have ever invested time
in.
Of course, I would change tuning to optimization since we are making
tuning a dirty word.
For those of you who were not at the Hotsos Symposium in Dallas, you missed
a fantastic conference.  You should make your plans to be in Las Vegas next
year.
I am not affiliated in any way with Hotsos, just am impressed by both the
knowledge Cary and Jeff have and their ability to convey it to others.

I have not attended the clinic, but 3 DBAs from my company attended the
recent Hotsos Symposium and loved every second of it.  Based on that,
I'm trying to make plans to attend one of the future clinics and
certainly intend to go to the Symposium in Vegas next year!
(Side note for the Hotsos reps who subscribe, I loved the book
giveaways at the end of the Symposium.  The whole thing was very
informative and a lot of fun.  Hope to see some of the same speakers in
the future.)

you can attend one training this year (particularly if you're looking for an

Henry - I would definitely go for it. I had the opportunity to attend a
1-day condensed seminar a year ago and it was one of the best seminars I
ever attended. If it was the normal 3-day length, then it should be much
better. And no, they soft-petal their services. They spend their time
teaching you what you really need to know, but they are open about the fact
that it can be difficult to analyze a large 10046 trace manually and you can
try their tool for free.
