OK, so Oracle OpenWorld 2006 is a wrap.IMO, this was clearly a "consolidation" show. At no point did I sense any confusion or discomfort among attendees, whereas last year -- on the heels of the PSFT acquisition's close -- these feelings were literally "in the air" (in regards to Oracle as well as the event itself!). In fact, this year's conference almost had a pleasing dullness about it; the kind of dullness you appreciate after returning home from a very long and hectic...

One of my favorites fixtures of Oracle OpenWorld is the Publishers' Seminar (MC'd by Dr. DBA Ken Jacobs), in which Oracle product management tries to convinces book authors/publishers to write Oracle-related books. For this reason, the presenters often provide fairly detailed information that is intended to educate as well as persuade.At the seminar today, Andy Mendelsohn offered some more details about Oracle Database 11g Beta:If the key theme of 10g was "lowering the cost...

Following the keynote below saw an interesting panel this AM on the topic of Oracle + FOSS (free and open source) software - Ken Jacobs (who directly manages the InnoDB team), Chris Jones from the scripting/PHP team, Mike Olson (former Sleepycat CEO), and Omar Tazi (Oracle Fusion Middleware OSS evangelist), moderated by Monica Kumar (Linux/OSS product marketing).This panel offered a fairly thorough rundown of Oracle's FOSS efforts (which are deep as well as broad at this...

Chuck Rozwat's keynote this AM comprised mostly a "rearview" of significant releases from the Server Technologies division in the last year - Oracle Content Database, Oracle SES, Oracle Database Vault - as well as an overview of pre-existing technologies that bring other "exotic" datatypes into the database, such as interMedia, Spatial, and Mapper. Interestingly, this appeared to be largely pretext for discussing the "growing" (forgive the pun) importance of scalability,...

You will almost certainly read many "old media" accounts of Charles Phillips' Oracle OpenWorld keynote last evening. (Download a podcast containing a keynote cutdown here.) Most of these accounts will characterize it as an explanation of Oracle "acquisition" strategy; more accurately, it was a explanation of Oracle's "integration" strategy.To summarize, Oracle sort of considers the rest of the industry as a "farm team" for the Oracle stack. In other words, when Oracle...
