For what it's worth, Peter invited me to another of Chris Date's talks earlier this year - and it was WELL WORTH the trip. Chris is a very good speaker.. The last talk was almost the same as this one - Foundation Matters, and a little on The Third Manifesto. Dropping ACID is a new one though.
I wonder what my time will be like around then? ;) -----Original Message----- Tanel Poder Sent: 25 August 2003 12:20 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hm, OracleWorld Paris ends 23rd Oct... ... ... they do sell cheap tickets between Paris and Edinburgh... hmm..
