I defninetly will, because thanks to the analogy used by Cary Millsap, I can now use this information, to decribe my gut feeling regarding the “Why you should not transform relational to XML storage and vice versa”. For your reference Lucas, this was mainly the discussion during my pre UKOUG tryout, started up by you, so now (at last) I can embed this again in my presentation for upcoming conferences. I made a smal drawing, transfering Cary’s analogy into a “XML world” example. Without saying the intent of this, showed it to Cary with the remark: “This is the problem with XML” and he immediately “got it”. So for him, although still based on his woodcraft example, the drawing was “strong” enough that “he got it”.

Looking forward then to the other post(s) where you will share those insights, ideas and inspiration…

If I would inject more details, then my intend with the post would shift, so I won’t do this in this post.

Marco,

Thanks for your energetic report on Hotsos 2008. It is clear that you will bring home a lot of ideas that will help you propel you in several ways. I must confess, you make me very curious about all this inspiration and these ideas. You mention several presentations that brought you new insights and ideas and inspiration and triggers. And now my big question is, of course: what are these insights? what did those excellent speakers present that got you so carried away? Could you tell us all a little bit more about them? That would be most interesting! Have safe journey home.

Lucas
