FROM THE EDITOR Oracle OpenWorld wrap-up [by Tim DiChiara] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm back from San Francisco, where 20,000 of my closest friends and I descended to immerse ourselves in all things Oracle. With the addition of the applications audience, OpenWorld was even more overwhelming than usual -- the show had to expand into the new wing of the already cavernous Moscone convention center. I can't imagine it getting any bigger without imploding under its own weight. Attendees were inundated with 400+ technical sessions -- including some given by our own SearchOracle.com experts -- and with the usual collection of silly vendor gimmicks, lasers, and throbbing techno music. One of the biggest crowds was at the booth to register for Oracle's outrageous sweepstakes in which the grand prize is actually a flight into space (price tag: $100,000), complete with 10 minutes of weightlessness! I entered, so stay tuned for a "From the Editor" column from 62 miles up. If you missed all the excitement, here is a sampling of our reporter Rob Westervelt's excellent coverage of the show: Content management, grid to be highlighted at Oracle conference Oracle expands data hub Oracle, Dell to boost grid standards Ellison pledges support for PeopleSoft customers For more details about the show's technical highlights, here's a blog from Mark Rittman (offering the developer perspective) and one from Justin Kestelyn (representing the DBAs).
