The class...
Last Monday 24-JAN-2005 through Wednesday 26-JAN-2005 I attende an Oracle 9i RAC class in Dallas presented by Rick Pulliam. Rick is an outstanding instructor! I highly recommend taking a class from him if you're planning on taking an Oracle training class. He's very approachable and knowledgable.
This was my first class since starting at Oracle last September. My main areas of interest in Oracle is the performance tuning, high availablity, and architecture. Rick covered all areas and then some. Some of the links under my Oracle bookmark folder came from this class. I have just started posting my favorite Oracle links here so check back and see what I've found.
Rick recommended Optimizing Oracle Performance by Cary Milsap. Which I promptly went out and purchased it. It was the best $35 bucks I've spent in a long time. I've only just started reading it and find it easy to follow. Cary states in the preface that he always wanted to know why a fix worked and would lose sleep trying to figure it out. I am not as obsessive compulsive as Cary, but I am definitely on the "why did it work" side of the line.
