OOW 2009 - Unconference Session - HA DBA

At times like this I supposed I should (cough) tweet because, as Alex G pointed out to me last night, I'm far too late with this blog post so no-one will see it in time. Of course, if everyone would just shut the **** up and stop tweeting for 5 minutes, they might read a few posts. Whatever.

At 10:00 this morning, Alex and Paul Vallee are hosting a conversation in one of the Unconference rooms that will hopefully be something of an anti-dote to DBA 2.0 stuff. Forget the technical RAC, Dataguard, blah, blah, blah, stuff. How do you organise your DBA support structures to manage so many systems these days in different parts of the world? I know it's something DBAs talk about all the time at work so the more different views in the room, the better so that people can help each other out.

Oh, and Paul, assures me he won't be trying to sell anyone anything ;-), just wants people to learn from each others experiences!

Well, I'll be there, but after a late night and a late start this morning, I might be catching up on blogging and email. See you there ...

Disclosure: I'm attending this year's Openworld Conference at the invitation of the Oracle ACE Director program, which is paying my travel and accommodation expenses. The time off work is my own choice.
