eek! Given the right music, these guys could win it all. I was watching the Microsoft on ISVs blog and stumbled upon this great resource for folks running Oracle applications on SQL Server. It is called the Microsoft Oracle Center of Excellence (MOCE). Check out the 2 day workshop coming to various cities real soon. Here’s a “why”…
There are many classes that cover SQL Server. There are also just as many that cover Oracle Applications… but very few cover the intersection of the two. This two day workshop covers the specifics of how the Oracle application interacts with SQL Server and how to architect a scalable and highly available solution. … Emphasis is on isolating issues, finding problems before they happen, and performance tuning. The goal of the workshop is to move beyond “my system’s slow” into WHY it’s slow and how to fix it. We’ll cover: what to look at, what it means, and what “good” & “bad” look like on a wide variety of platforms. While the workshop is in lecture format, real world examples are used exclusively in the form of perfmon and profiler traces in addition to numerous trip reports and health checks that have been done with customers over the last 5 years. … Skills learned in this workshop can also be applied to other enterprise applications in your landscape.

Neat, huh? This is in addition to a bunch of resources for running Oracle databases on Windows. MOCE! MOCE! MOCE!
