Hotsos 2008 is over

I have been a regular presenter in hotsos performance intensive conference, three years in a row. This year my presentation was about cost based subquery transformation. Optimizer has become far smarter in 11g, and subqueries are transformed and cost calculated using physical optimizer. Enough about that.

As usual, I met many of my friends, Mark Bobak, Alex Gorbachev, Robyn Sands, Joze Sengachnik, Kyle Hailey, Jared Still, Wolfgang B, Carol Decko, Stephen Knecht, Christian Antognini and so on. We had a wonderful time on Monday in Bob’s steak house, good time on Wednesday in downtown dallas.

Now, I can’t wait for next HOTSOS!
