The technical sessions at Oracle OpenWorld have been developed by the International Oracle Users Group - Americas and the Oracle Developer Programme and organized along the following tracks:
|
Application Development Products
Developing Oracle-based applications can be a challenge, especially when tools are constantly changing
and being released. Find out how other users are effectively and creatively using Developer/2000, Oracle
Power Objects, Oracle WebServer, Oracle Media Objects, and other development tools like Delphi, and
more.
Data Warehousing
The concept of data warehousing used to be foreign to most businesses. But as business needs continue to
evolve, building an effective data warehouse becomes paramount to a company's success. Take a new look
at Oracle and the warehouse, third-party products, data migration, data transformation, implementation
stories, data mining, data architecture, data marts vs. data warehousing, building and managing the team,
and the World Wide Web and your data warehouse.
DBA Topics
From beginners to seasoned IT pros, the DBA Focus Area offers database administrators at all levels
opportunities to learn practical tips and techniques to help them tackle important every day issues
like back-up and recovery, performance tuning and replication.
Network Computing
How do you fully exploit Network Computing? What is a Cartridge, and how can you base applications on
them? How can you design and develop to a three-tier architecture with Oracle technology? Just what is
the benefit of distributed business components? In this track we show you how you can leverage Oracle in
the transition from the Client/Server world to the 21st century world of Network Computing.
Developing for the Web
Nothing but nothing in the world of software is moving faster than the Web. How do you develop new
applications and redeploy existing Client/Server applications on the Web? How do you build Web
applications that are secure and transaction capable? Should you build your Web applications by hand or
generate them automatically? Find out the facts in this fast moving track.
Enterprise Computing and Data Warehousing
So how does Oracle8 support huge databases - terabytes and terabytes? What about resilience, scalability
and maintenance issues? Should you deploy a warehouse or a datamart? What should be your replication
strategy? Find out all this and more in the track designed to give the facts to developers of the most
testing mission critical applications.
Languages and API's

database and tools. Definitely for developers only!
Methodology/CASE
Computer-Aided Systems Engineering (CASE) and Information Engineering (IE) promise to help in the
effective design and development of database systems. Explore practical, proven approaches to using
CASE, IE and other software development methodologies to successfully deploy Oracle-based
applications, sometimes with the new and creative support from Designer/2000, Developer/2000,
and third-party modeling tools.
New Technology and Trends
This area focuses squarely on what tomorrow may bring. Listen as users share their future views for
implementing new Oracle technology, addressing what Oracle technology does for them, the
