Gavin's Blog

It seems that everywhere you turn, every man and his dog is writing about their experience at Oracle OpenWorld 2006. Who they met, what they saw. There's even blow-by-blow descriptions from people like OTN's Justin Kestelyn who thought it would be funny by blogging every day of the conference for us poor chumps who weren't there. Aargh!

It made me feel better reading about Laurent Schneider's horror arrival in SF... I'm not bitter, not at all!

Nah, just kidding.

Anyway. I called this entry "No I wasn't at OOW..." coz I wasn't going to blog about my Openworld experience, so I'd better stop talking about it.

On to the study.

This Logminer stuff is quite interesting. Although I'm not 100% on what the exam details determine as "dictionary staleness detections". Any ideas anyone...  It's obviously talking about the ability of logminer to translate the binary values into names using the dictionary, whether it be flatfile, redo or online catalog. But detecting it? hmmm.

Anyway. I've read all I want about logminer, so we'll tick it off for now. Surely there's not too many questions in the OCP that relate to this specific new feature of the database.... ;-)
