I had a great time a couple of weeks ago at the UKOUG meeting of the DBMS SIG (reported here by Coskan Gundogar). The range of presentations was good and I had a number of interesting conversations.
Of course, the exciting part for me was sitting down with a batch of Statspack and AWR reports that I had been supplied with in the previous couple of days and doing a “real-time” analysis of them.
