Mastering Oracle Trace Data

Wednesday, December 14, 2011
10:00 AM to 4:00 PM (ET)

I'm excited to announce that Cary Millsap is returning to our area to teach that full day course we talked about during his last visit.

Oracle trace data is an extraordinarily rich information source for database application developers, administrators, and anyone who cares about the speed of an Oracle Database application. Oracle trace files include information that yields value throughout your software life cycle, whether you've bought prebuilt applications or built them yourself. This course, designed and taught by Cary Millsap, is your fast track to becoming a master of this commonly underutilized data source.

Cary has the rare ability to teach complex topics in a manner that everyone can understand. He is innovative and entertaining, and he always challenges his audiences to think beyond the status quo. Andrew Zitelli - Thales-Raytheon Systems - Fullerton, California

Topics covered in the one-day course include:

  • Fundamentals of software performance
  • Collecting Oracle trace data
  • Understanding the Oracle trace data stream

SOUG TechDay 2012 -- Watch for the Date!!!

Plans are progressing for our seventh annual SOUG TechDay. We are working on a date for a return to the historic Italian Club facility at 1731 E. Seventh Avenue in Ybor City. Based on feedback from the last event here, everyone enjoyed the cool historic building as much as I did when I found the place. It catches your attention right away with an impressive entryway and staircase of all imported Italian marble. Couple this with large rooms that will easily accommodate our sessions and I think we have another winner on our hands.

Keeping with the Italian theme, I'm sure you'll all be as thrilled as I am that my good friend Franco LoRe and The Laughing Cat Italian Restaurant will be catering a fabulous lunch buffet for us.

A call for speakers is going out. If any of you would like to present or would like to recommend/volunteer/conscript/whatever a speaker, just let me know.

Attendance is free, but if you plan to attend, we'll be posting an RSVP link as we approach the date.


QUICK LINKS:

How many miles has your SOUG backpack travelled?
When we were selecting our conference gear for TechDay, one of our goals was to provide something that would have a useful life beyond the day's event. For at least one attendee, we seem to have attained our goal. Long-term member John Rehg sent me these pictures of his SOUG backpack in Kaua'i, Hawaii a couple weeks after our event. If you've got a picture of your SOUG gear you'd care to share, mail us a copy. We'd love to hear from you.
