Jim,

I was given your name as the contact person for the Oracle Users Group in Birmingham. I am the Sun Acct Mgr who covers Birmingham and wanted to make you aware of the joint Sun/Oracle seminar that we are conducting in Birmingham on Jan 22.

Below you will see the initial invitation that went out to local companies identified by our mkt group by total rev. The second invitation will go out early in Jan and will include some revisions such as the addition of the CTO of EPL who will be talking about their experience with Oracle.

It would be great if you could send some type of notice to your mailing list. Please let me know if this would be possible and, if so, how I can help.

I appreciate your assistance with this event. If you have any futher comments or suggestions on how we can make this event more useful to the local existing/potential Oracle market, please let me know.

Today's door prize is Oracle 9i Instant PL/SQL Scripts from Oracle Press (complete with CD with scripts).  I'd love to have this book.  It sure looks like it has a lot of useful ideas.  It's a $50 value.

See you at the meeting.

Subject: Oracle8i DBA OCP Exam Retirement December 31, 2004!

http://www.oracle.com/index.html

May 1, 2004

Dear Valued Oracle University and Certification Program Customer,

On May 1, 2004, Oracle announced plans to retire the Oracle8i Database Administrator Certified Professional exams. In accordance with our stated retirement policy, we are hereby giving you notice of Oracle’s intention to retire these certification tracks. As of December 31, 2004, the core certification exams for the Oracle8i DBA OCP track will no longer be available.

Oracle will continue to honor and endorse those candidates who have earned their Oracle8i Database Administrator Certified Professional credential. Oracle8i DBA OCPs will continue to receive all benefits and communications as well as access to OCP resources relevant to their certification.

All OCP Candidates currently pursuing the Oracle8i DBA OCP track will have until December 31, 2004 to complete the required core DBA exams.

After December 31st, 2004, the following 4 exams will no longer be available:

  • Exam 1Z0-023 Oracle8i: Architecture and Administration
  • Exam 1Z0-024 Oracle8i: Performance and Tuning
  • Exam 1Z0-025 Oracle8i: Backup and Recovery
  • Exam 1Z0-026 Oracle8i: Network Administration

Candidates who fail OCP exams may retake them only after a 30-day waiting period as long as it does not fall beyond the retirement date. Since the exams will be unavailable after December 31, 2004, candidates should plan to take the exams no later than November 15, 2004 to allow sufficient time in case a retake is necessary.

Oracle encourages Oracle8ii DBA OCPs to upgrade their credential by taking Exam 1Z0-030 Oracle9i New Features for Administrators. Candidates who pass this exam will earn an Oracle9i Database Administrator OCP status.

The following upgrade exams will NOT retire and will remain available after December 31, 2004:

  • Exam 1Z0-035 Oracle9i DBA New Features for Oracle7.3 and Oracle8 OCPs
    (One exam for Oracle7.3 and Oracle8 DBA OCPs to upgrade their OCP credential to Oracle9
    i)
  • Exam 1Z0-020 Oracle8i: New Features for Administrators
    Exam 1Z0-030 Oracle9
    i: Database: New Features for Administrators

If you have any questions regarding the retirement of the Oracle8i DBA OCP exams and certification tracks, please contact Oracle at ocpexam_ww@.... Additionally, you may visit the Oracle Certification Program web site at http://www.oracle.com/education/certification for further information. To find information regarding Oracle training in your area please visit: http://www.oracle.com/education.

Thank you for your investment in Oracle technology and for your interest in developing your technical skills. We appreciate and value the commitment you have made to become an Oracle Certified Professional and wish you continued success in your career development efforts.

Sincerely,

Oracle Certification Program

Did you know that our Oracle user group can get books
for you to review and keep?  If your book budget is
running short, this is a good way to earn the books
you need.

Please let me know if you have a book that you'd like
to earn by doing a review.  It doesn't matter who the
publisher is or the technology related topic, just let
me know what your interested in and I'll try to get
it.

I've included a couple of links below that will help
you as you write your reviews.

Peace,

We have an excellent opportunity to host a meeting with the President of Oracle on September 16 from 12:00pm to 1:30pm.  But in order to do this, we have to determine the level of interest ASAP.  If you would be willing and able to bring or send someone from your company who has a major impact on database purchasing decisions (i.e. IT Director, Technology Manager, CIO, CFO, etc.) please reply back to this message today or tomorrow and let us know how many you think you could bring to the meeting.
 
See details below...
 
Thanks.
Jim Hill

Subject: Oracle Users Group Meeting

We have an excellent opportunity to have the president of Oracle speak at our Users Group Meeting. 

This would be a great time to have not only the DBA’s and Developers, but also upper management to attend.

This will afford those that are responsible for justifying Oracle, to ask questions of the president directly.

 

To make this possible we would need to have a large turnout.

The tentative date would be September 16, 12:00pm to 1:30pm.

 

Can we get an email out to everyone asking them to reply with the number of people that will be able to attend from their organization?

Contact me if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do on my end to facilitate this.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Important Update

The Entreprenurial Kickoff Event scheduled by the Birmingham Venture
Club for this coming Friday, September 17, will be held as planned
from 7:30am to 10:30am at the Wynfrey Hotel. 

Due to the impending approach of Hurricane Ivan, Oracle President
Charles Phillips will appear by video feed at 8am rather than in
person.

Rob Adams, will appear in person for his presentation and later help
launch the Entrepreneurial Accelerator Program for the twelve
entrepreneurs chosen through a competitive selection process last
month.  Don't forget that he will remain after his presentation for
a signing of his book, A Good Hard Kick in the Ass: Basic Training
for Entrepreneurs.

If you haven't RSVP'd yet, please do so before Wednesday at noon so
that we can have an accurate count for breakfast service.  Walk-ups
are welcome, but food service can not be guaranteed.  Contact Kellie
Harper from the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce at
205.241.8110 or kharper@... to make or change your
reservation.
