RE: Training for Oracle Performance tuning

I've never taken a class from either, so, hopefully I'm not too biased....  

I don't think you can go wrong here. I think both are very good. Really, I'd just go with whichever one has the syllabus that interests you more.

Subject: Training for Oracle Performance tuning  

All:

I am thinking of enrolling in an Oracle tuning class and I have narrowed down to the two options below. I took one Oracle DBA class from Oracle and I was pretty disappointed since the instructor was pretty bad and it was very clear that whatever real world Oracle DBA experience he had, was quite dated. But the class served it purpose though, since Oracle requires(devious in my mind) one instructor-led class before you can get certified in 10g. I realize it is hit and miss if you take a class from Oracle, so I am not considering their courses.

First Option:

Advanced Reactive Performance Management for Oracle taught by Craig Shallahamer.

http://resources.orapub.com/product_p/rpm.htm

Second Option:

Hotsos's Optimizing Oracle SQL, Intensive

http://hotsos.com/educ_op.html

Both classes deal with Oracle tuning and I realize that the curriculum is not exactly the same, but I was wondering if any of you that took these classes have any feedback on how good or bad they were. Any other instructor-led classes that you can recommend for performance tuning?.

Thanks,
Sunil.
