Complete 2010 Hotsos Education Calendar Posted

The complete calendar for Hotsos Education for 2010 has been posted at http://www.hotsos.com/calendar.html. We are pleased to announce a brand new class entitled Advanced Optimizer Concepts and Performance, which will be offered starting in April.

A thorough understanding of the Oracle Cost-Based Optimizer (CBO) is essential to consistently optimize SQL in a timely manner. Our Optimizing Oracle SQL, Intensive class teaches students a repeatable and reliable systematic method for optimizing SQL, and the underlying knowledge of that methodology is an understanding of the CBO. However, it's impossible to pack a lifetime of information and learning into 5 days. Therefore we've developed Advanced Optimizer Concepts and Performance as the next step in learning more about the CBO.

This new class will help you answer the following questions:

• "What does that cost number mean?"


• "How did the CBO calculate that cost?"


• "Does a lower cost plan ensure better run time performance?"


• "I see a great access path. Why doesn't the CBO use it?"
