Two Things...

The first is an "AWR Formatter" written by a friend of mine, Tyler Muth. It's pretty cool - works as a Chrome plugin - and it makes an AWR report a little more 'friendly' to use. It creates hot links for many of the wait events (so you know what they mean) and it summarizes up a lot of stuff - making the AWR report a lot more "interactive". Check it out and give him feedback on it if you have time.


The second is a book recommendation. If you've been looking for an excuse to learn APEX (application express) and wanted a book to work through it - here is one for you. I know most of the authors personally and can attest for their technical knowledge of APEX. I also really appreciate what they are doing with the royalties. See that link for what they've done. I knew both of the people they reference there.

Glad it's not a scheduling app or more than likely you'd end up being allowed to double-book something!

Seems "Beginning Oracle Application Express 4" by Doug Gault et al. is a very good introductory book for new APEX users. BTW, authors state that Mike Hichwa, Joel Kallman and you are APEX parents.

I have his Pro APEX book and it is real good.

Tom, thanks again for pgs 490-504 of your Effective Design by Oracle book. The pagination bit is always a good reminder read through!
