RMOUG Training Days

The annual RMOUG Training Days event takes place on February 17th and 18th in Denver, CO, with some additional university sessions taking place on February 16th. I am excited to be co-presenting with Mark Rittman on A DBA and Developers' Guide to Oracle Warehouse Builder 11gR2. Quite often, when we speak or train on OWB, it is slanted toward BI architects, ETL developers, etc. In this session, however, Mark and I will be demonstrating some of the new 11gR2 features of OWB, approaching the subject from a application-neutral perspective. So perhaps you want to consider using OWB as more of an integration tool, or just need to do your average, run-of-the-mill database development, OWB might just be the tool for you. Additionally, there is a new feature in OWB called code template mappings that allows DBAs and database architects to participate in the ETL lifecycle with some database best-practices, without having to actually DO the ETL development.

This will be my first time attending the Rocky Mountain Oracle Users Group event, and I am excited to see a strong showing from some of the community staples. Have a look at the agenda and see some of the presentations that will be going on at the largest Oracle regional user group event in the United States. You could do worse than spending a few days in beautiful Colorado, after all.
