Back
in my college days, we had a game called Quarters. The idea was to bounce a
quarter off the table an into a glass of beer. The owner of the glass then had
to drink the glass to retrieve the quarter. Thus, a HIGH cash hit ratio directly
translated to more drinking. However, it must be noted that a very high cash hit
ratio under these conditions actually results in severly degraded memory
performance ("I DID WHAT LAST NIGHT????").
-----Original Message-----Undskyld, undskyld, undskyld. I'm just not familiar with other cultures. So let me get this straight: A high CASH hit ratio is obtained by drinking more or spending less? At the moment I'm having a Maker's Mark, which has a fine Glass Hit Ratio, by the way.

Man, it would be cool to have a tool that displayed the useless BCHR as "Buffer Ca$h Hit Ratio" and explained that focusing on this stuff would only optimize consulting revenue :-)))
Yep, Black Adder is a thing to watch out for. Tastes fantastic.

Jonathan - buy those poor people a beer (or whatever they require) and send the bill to Miracle.
PS: This was only for those participating in Jonathans (possible) seminar - not for all participants in IOUG-A. In other words: I'm going for a very high (local) hit ratio. Not a high global hit ratio.

I too will attend that class, even if I can't get my boss to spring for it. They are sending me there, but they don't have to pay for the conference, so I should be able to talk them into it.

I see from the 'University Class' listings that no-one is doing anything about specific on how the cost based optimizer works. Two questions - If I found some place in the locale to run the one-day tutorial that I did at the UKOUG this December (see URL below), would there be much interest in attending ? I'd probably keep the class size at around 40 people, with a cost of around $250, and plan to run it on the Sunday before the main event. (Or maybe on the Friday, when all the fuss has died down). Second - does anyone know the general area well enough to suggest a couple of reasonable hotels that might do a nice job of hosting such an event ? Thanks for any feedback.
