Re: Teradata baned from IOUG???

Rob,

I wasn't considering the book,

I was thinking of the stuff that he puts into Oracle Magazine, and still seems
to be delivering at User Group meetings.

I noticed an article of his at the NYOUG website when Rachel gave the URL for her "Do's and Don'ts" .

It's dated June 2002, and has a title of "Fasten Your Seatbelts: High Speed Tour
of Oracle 9i Tuning".

Read it - you won't be impressed. It's not the sort of stuff that "One of the Top Six in the World" should want to admit to.
