Also check out the journal of Rocky Mountain Oracle User Group -
SQLUPDATE, very good content and professionally produced. Another source
is TechJournal, the journal of New York Oracle User Group, available to
members only.

Oracle magazine is primarily a marketing magazine I think.
Like MCP Magazine or DB2 magazine.
I don't think it's intended to be a technical journal.
It's intended to be an exciting place to talk about new features and peddle
3rd party products through ads.
Is there a 3rd party magazine out
There is SELECT journal from IOUG !!
John K. and Jared S. are contributing editors.
From Oracle's Web site:
Oracle Magazine:
Oracle Magazine is the definitive source for information on the use and development
of Oracle products.
Profit Magazine:
Profit: Oracle's E-Business Magazine
Sure, take SELECT for example - 100% pure Oracle technology - no marketing.
It's the journal of International Oracle Users Group.

fantastic source for Oracle technical info. Jonathan Lewis, Peter Robson and
a host of other greats contribute to Scene as well (I LOVED Oracle

In the course of the letter he referred to the author's submission

After reading the magazine at the UKOUG conference,
I checked purchasing Scene. It is 40 pounds a year (roughly $60 American
(IIRC)). It is excellent and worth the $. And it helps support a fellow user
group.

Does it work the way round? Should one call technical
magazine a definitive marketing source?

I agree wholeheartedly, the reason being (to share my
own experiences), that some months ago I sent some
feedback on an (unrelated) article in Oracle magazine
because I thought much of it was incorrect.
I got a reply from the author of the article basically
agreeing with my points.
Of course,
I think it was only a few weeks ago that
I posted a list of errors in an article about
statspack that Oracle Magazine published
in January.
