My first session, Benchmarking: Tools, Methodologies, and Techniques, was earlier today and I think it went OK. I\u2019ve also attended a couple sessions as well.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, I was impressed with the keynote from Rich Niemiec (the President of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110918153856\/http:\/\/www.tusc.com\/\">TUSC<\/a>) this morning. While it was basically a history of Oracle, containing some of the details shared by Larry Ellison himself during the 2007 OOW keynote, Rich was able to add a bit more insight into things due to his past interviews and discussions with old, key Oracle employees such as Bruce Scott. Also of note was a presentation from Karen Morton (<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110918153856\/http:\/\/www.method-r.com\/\">Method R Corporation<\/a>\u2013Think\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110918153856\/http:\/\/www.hotsos.com\/\">Hotsos<\/a>), which covered the basics of how statistics affect the Oracle CBO and how to manage them. I found her demonstration, using playing cards, an excellent way to visualize basic query optimization calculations for things such as selectivity; I believe others did as well.<\/p>\n<p>Also attending the conference are the guys from Bizwhazee, with their awesome PL\/SQL+Web+Ajax product,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110918153856\/http:\/\/www.turbo-enterprise.com\/\">TURBOEnterprise<\/a>.
