Oracle Open World 2009

Arjen Visser, the Techical Director of Dbvisit, presented two papers at Oracle Open World 2009 in San Francisco:
1) How to Create a Technical Disaster Recovery Implementation Plan.
A technical disaster recovery implementation plan involves the actual implementation of the hardware and software at the disaster recovery location. It ensures that there are no surprises when building the disaster recovery servers and that all critical systems and their components have been accounted for. This session focuses on Oracle-centric applications in the UNIX/Linux environment.

2) Perl:DBA’s and Developers best (forgotton) friend.
This session reintroduces Perl as a language of choice for DBAs and developers for developing a range of programs and scripts. Discover what makes Perl so successful and why it is so versatile. Perl can automate all those manual tasks, and it is truly platform-independent. It may not be in the limelight like other languages, but it is a remarkable language for development and is still very current with ongoing development. Oracle and VMware still use it as part of their latest software releases.
