OK. Lots of great replies to my email. Instead of replying to each one, here is a complete reply to everyone:

How basic? I teach a basics of relational database class for LOW level users. I teach a basics of SQL class. THAT basic? April Wells SPK ==> The answer is yes. Too many presentations focus on advanced topics. I believe we need more basic SQL instruction, especially for folks new to the whims of the Oracle optimizer.
We are currently working on conversion of 8.1.6 to 9.2.0.4. I come up with the idea to do the following: 1) create new 9i database using LMT ASSM etc. 2) use DataBee tool to create script to define all tables. 3) change the create script so each table will go into its place into the new database. 4) do import of table data only with ignore=y indexes=no constraint=no. 5) do import with rows=no to recreate all index, constraint etc. 6) new 9i database with all the new goodies working. Do you think that this is a good topic for presentation? Yechiel Adar

SPK ==> This is more of a process presentation and should be a good intro presentation. However, this may not cover the required hour. This could be a quick tip presentation or, if expanded, may qualify for a Technical Session. Expand your concept a bit to appear to a broader audience.

3. Saw your oracle-l posting and thought I'd email you. Are you looking for any presentations on RAC, Storage, or Linux? I'd love to present, but its hard for me to justify going to my CEO if the presentation I'd be giving
wouldn't be on one of our core competencies. Any suggestions would be welcome. Matthew Zito

SPK ==> This is a good presentation provided that is not a sales job on RAC or on your product. These must be technical presentations. Sorry to be harsh, but the reality is that several vendors have given presentations and they end up being sales presentations for their products. We yank them off the schedule, or remove them from voting entirely.

Does this help everyone understand what we are looking for? SUBMIT SUBMIT SUBMIT Thank You

Everyone:

Speaking as a Focus Area Manager, we are missing the following types of presentations:

Presentations for beginners, i.e.: "the basics" - too many of our presenters concentrate on the intermediate or advanced. Let me tell you that we WANT to see more beginner presentations.
Troubleshooting type presentations helping users diagnose both performance and development problems.
REAL Advanced presentations and not ones that you think are advanced. Comments returned over the past few years indicate that the "advanced' presentations are not as advanced as stated.
Tighter quality sessions that offer concrete technical value and ROI for our audience.

Should be enough

Thank You

I asked my manager if I can go, maybe I can present a paper.

Now I just have to decide what topic to present on.

I don't want to do something that is on the bleeding edge, I want to do something that would be useful to the largest number of people.

I leave the marketing to Oracle Corp., they know the newer products best it seems to me. I am not a concepts person, I don't go by the product descriptions and features, I go by practical experience. (aka Trial by Fire)

Right now we are still planning / testing a migration to 9iAS 9.0.2. on Windows (I know, no comments please), maybe I can do a paper on how to install, configure, secure, and manage 9iAS effectively.

If you have any other suggestions, don't hesitate to mention them -- what would be most useful to you at your site?

Do I ever want to go to this conference!

Patrice.
