Rousing Entertainment With the Guru of Oracle PL/SQL
I received the following invitation from NWOUG:
On behalf of Quest Software, NWOUG invites you to attend a free breakfast seminar that will be held in Portland, OR on Tuesday, July 24, 2007.
Join Steven Feuerstein, PL/SQL Evangelist of Quest Software, to explore key best practices for PL/SQL development and learn how they fit into a development workflow that produces high quality code. In addition to the rousing entertainment, you might even win a signed copy of one of his books, courtesy of O’Reilly Media!
A free breakfast and a “rousing entertainment” with Steven Feuerstein just around the corner of where I work, it does not get much better than that! So, I’m planning to attend.
The agenda includes a Q & A session at the end of the seminar, so I may have the opportunity to ask Steven a few questions.
Do you have a specific question you would like me to ask Steven? I do not guarantee I’ll be able to ask him your question, but I’ll try.

I once asked him about using the dbms_backup_restore package to purge old archive logs on Windows. But he refused to answer. I also asked the product manager for PL/SQL once why you can’t write dynamic code against column names in triggers, and was told that it shouldn’t need to be a feature of PL/SQL. So good luck getting him to answer random questions.
I attended the seminar and I can assure you that Steven answered all the questions from the audience.
