Three days in Munich...
Tom Kytes Blog
Three days in Munich. I arrived in Munich on Saturday April 29th a little after noon time. It was raining out ? not really bad, just a bit on the cold and damp side. The weather forecast for the weekend wasn?t great ? it could be three days of rain (but that was not the be the case fortunately). Having never been to Munich ? but having spent some time in London ? I decided to spend the three

Tom Kytes Blog
The funny thing is? I was reading this, just getting ready to drag it into a folder on my desktop entitled ?blogideas?. That folder already has 34 things in it. Ironic? I thought so. So, just because I thought it was really relevant ? I stopped and did it right now ? knowing it would probably age out of that folder due to lack of activity on it. Once again Kathy hit the proverbial nail on the
 
I did not expect that!
Tom Kytes Blog
I did not expect that. My plate just exploded ? literally ? while eating. I was having a nice steak sandwich (with real steak, I like Germany) when all of a sudden there is this very loud ?crack? and much movement of my plate: The silver disk in the middle started frying the food immediately (sizzle away). It was quite warm. A nice surprise in the middle of dinner ? no falling asleep while

10G Automatic Tuning Optimizer
Chris Foot Oracle 10g Blog
In a few of my previous blogs, I provided instructions on how to use 10G Grid Control to run the SQL Tuning Advisor and the SQL Access Advisor. In this next couple of blogs, we?ll peel back the layers and find out exactly what happens when these utilities are executed.

In part one of this multi-part blog on the advisors, we take a look at how the SQL Tuning Advisor uses the optimizer to generate its tuning recommendations. We?ll also cover the types of recommendations it provides and how it comes to those conclusions.
 
C is for cookie...

C is for cookie, like V is for Vendetta. I think Natalie Portman is better looking than Elmo but that is just me. Silly but amusing (if you have seen the movie or the trailer for it)?
 
Sears Wishbook...
Tom Kytes Blog
Sears Wishbook. I remember as a kid reading the Sears Wishbook ? especially around Christmas ? to circle the toys/gadgets of interest (just to help Santa out of course). Someone has scanned some of the old ones and put them on flickr. They have the 1983, 1975, and 1979 editions online. I peeked at the 1975 one, I was about as old as these guys at that time: And yes, I had some clothes that
 
Around London...
Tom Kytes Blog
Around London. Yesterday was a travel day for me ? got up at 4:30am Finnish time in order to catch my flight from Helsinki to London. Since there is a two hour time difference between the two cities, I got into London rather early ? 9am, but it took so long to clear passport control it was well into lunchtime before I got to the hotel. Since I had a free afternoon after checking email and
