This year I have the opportunity to attend Oracle ACE Directors briefing before the Oracle Open World 2011 event which is taking place at Oracle Headquarters. It is great to get almost all important things which will be announced in several days packed together and communicated by those responsible people in Oracle. So I am really thankful for this opportunity. A lot of ACE Directors gathered here and it is nice to meet old friends and make personal contacts with all those who we know only by name.
After registration my badge is qiute "long" with so many stickers/banners. There were some other ACE Directors and members of OakTable with a similar number so we had a sort of competition who has more banners. :-)
My presentation was sold out already on Thursday so I expceted that the room will be really fool. This year thewre was no nice web page for speakers where one could see how many people have registered for his session. However, several of my friends complained that they can't register as the session was already sold out.
The title of the presentation was "Getting The Best From The Cost Base Optimizer" and it looks like the title was very interesting for many people. It was really not so technical presentation but rather more educational with main focus to point out things which people usually forget to do.
The agenda was:
- Misused Initialization Parameters & System Statistics
- Extended Statistics
- Cost of execution of PL/SQL functions
- Constraints
- SQL Plan Management
- SQL Monitoring
- Automatic Cardinality Feedback Tuning
The presentation can be downloaded here but you need to be registered.
