I wanted to write and let you know that there will be 3 eCycling days coming up on 12/28, 12/29, and 12/30. This will give you the opportunity to do some good with computers and electronics that are no longer of use to you and/or your company. It will also be just in time for you to take advantage of 2006 fair market value tax deductions. For more details go to:
If you are willing and able to volunteer some of your time to help with the eCycling days from noon - 6pm on Thurs 12/28, Fri 12/29, and Saturday 12/30 please contact Curtis Palmer with the times you have available. Curtis can be reached at curtis@....

Topic: Welcome to My Nightmare – The Common Performance Errors in Oracle Databases
Presenter: Michael R. Ault, Quest Software Abstract:Databases grow and change as new
features are added and old ones removed or changed. However, even as things change, they remain the same in many respects. We still must index properly, set memory settings correctly and specify proper hardware. You would think that by now everyone would have a pretty good idea what an average configuration for an Oracle small, medium and large database would be, but unfortunately these classifications also undergo mutation. It wasn’t too long ago that if you used several hundred megabytes of disks you had a large database. Now of course large databases are in the terabyte and larger size range. This makes setting tuning guidelines for Oracle databases somewhat of a moving target where the rules change almost as fast as you can derive them.
Given a changing environment for tuning Oracle is the only constant this presentation will outline the major
issues found in the last few years while tuning several dozen different client databases in addition to methods for determining set points that take into account this changing beast that is Oracle.
--------------------------------------------------------- Presenter's Bio ---------------------------------------------------------
Michael R. Ault, Quest Software
Following a 6 year Navy enlistment in the Nuclear Navy riding submarines, Mike began working with computers in 1980 programming in Basic and Fortran IV on the PDP-11 architecture in the nuclear industry. During Mike’s
nuclear years he worked with PDP, IBM-PC, Osborne and later VAX-VMS and HP architectures and with the Informix and Ingres databases. Following the downturn in the nuclear industry Mike began working with Oracle as the only DBA at the Iuka, Mississippi based Advanced Solid Rocket Motor (ASRM) project for NASA in 1990. Since 1990 Mike has worked with a variety of industries both as in house and consulting talent.
Mike has published nearly two-dozen Oracle related books including the 7.0, 8.0, 8i and 9i versions of his Oracle Administration and Management title with Wiley, the Oracle8 Black Book and Oracle DBA OCPExamCram series (for versions 8 and 8i) with Coriolis and multiple titles including Oracle9i RAC and Oracle10g Grid and RAC with Rampant Technical Press. Mike has written articles for Oracle, Select, DBMS,
Oracle Internals and several other database related magazines. Mike is also a frequently high-rated presenter at local, regional and international Oracle conferences such as GOUSERS, SEOUG, RMOUG, NYOUG, NCOUG, IOUG, OOW, ODTUG, UKOUG and EOUG.

If you have any data, including data in sys tables, that uses the data types WITH TIME ZONE and is in one of the follow time zones, it will have to be converted: HST, EST, MST, EST5EDT, MST7MDT, CST6CDT, PST8PDT. This is due to the fact that the time zone ID is different in the updated time zone files. You will get ORA-1882's if you don't do the conversion.
NOTE: This conversion will have to be done regardless of the time period that the data falls within. See Note:414590.1

Do you know someone who might like to know about helping high school students in Huntsville who are learning Oracle? I was contacted by Joyce Folk, a H.S. teacher in Huntsville and she's wanting to enhance the learning of her students by exposing them to some real world Oracle people. Here's her message. Please contact her using the information at the bottom if you know someone who might like to know about what she's doing.
I pulled your information off Oracle's site. I have currently been teaching the basic Oracle Data Model/Programming SQL Course. I am in my second year. I teach between Butler High School and Columbia/New Century High School.
I am looking to make contact with Companies in the Huntsville Area or anyone who uses Oracle. I see you are in Birmingham area.
I would like contacts for Companies; professionals who use Oracle to possibly speak to or make contact with my students. Also, our seniors who will be close or have completed the course-certification, I would like to find places they may observe Oracle in use. I am trying to make Oracle exciting and useful to my students. I appreciate any help.
Contact information is the following: email: jfolk@... 256-428-7950 x252 mornings, 7:30 am-12:30pm, 256-658-3587 cell 12:30-afternoons,other. 256-428-7800 NCHS, Office, 1:20-3:10pm or my cell, 256-828-2832 is home phone
The conference facility here at Energen is not available in April, so we are in need of a facility on April 19th for the Central Alabama Oracle User Group. The room will need to accomodate 30-40 people, have computer projection, and allow outside catering.
Oracle is scheduled to present on add-on database features on that date.
Please let me know if you have a facility that might work.
We are in need of a logo for the Central Alabama Oracle Users Group. If you or someone you know has graphics skills and would like to do some free work, please let me know. If we have several, we can let everyone vote for the one they like.
