Are these Internals classes only available in the US? -----Original Message----- Carmichael Sent: 29 October 2002 11:04 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: Oracle Internals course
Tom, I didn't mean to imply that you were going into damagement! I was lucky enough to have someone point me to "seminars" and figured I'd share my luck. I think the reason they don't publicize it is that he is the only one teaching it and it's full without publicizing. Can you imagine if they made it generally available? He'd have time to do nothing else! Rachel --- Tom Pall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Rachel, I'm not bucking for a management slot by being clueless about > the > details. Really I'm not.
