In the next 6 to 12 months Knowledge Center Server Development & Programming Languages intends to deal with the themes listed below. The aim is to present at least a large part of those themes in various attractive ways such as presentations, work shops and discussions.

There is a list of roughly planned themes and presenters.

  • Query structure. Taken from the 7Up work shop, presented by Lucas Jellema.
  • Object-relational features, nested tables and bulk binding with varray’s in the Oracle database, presented by Alex Nuijten.
  • Working with the XDK – PL/SQL, presented by Anton Scheffer.
  • part 1 from the sequence “To boldly go where no data has gone before..”,, featuring External tables, presented by Leon van Tegelen.
  • New XSL-T and XPath features in version 2, presented by Harm Verschuren.
  • New Feature of the 10g Database: Regular Expressions, presented by Leon van Tegelen.
  • Materialized views (good ol’ snapshots) en query rewrite, presented by Ruud Bloemen.
  • Tuning the Oracle database (CBO & analytics, interpreting execution plans with tkprof, dbms_stats, etc), no presenter yet but scores high on the returned questionaires

There is a list of candidate themes in random order:

One thought on “KC SDPL planning

  1. Harm,

    I just thought of two more topics:
    – some of our database specialists are working on a project involving Data Guard and a stand-by database. Around end of november, this work should be ready for presentation in a KC meeting – and it seems very interesting!
    – “Cruising the Data Dictionary” : I just put up the Oracle 10g Data Dictionary poster (courtesy of CA) as well as the
    10g V$- Views poster (courtesy of TUSC) and I think we can enjoy ourselves for a night by navigating these and paying some attention to the really useful objects among them
