Workshops from WSS

March 4th at 14:30 – 17:00 
OpenEdge DBA – Advanced Problem Solving 
Presented by: Tom Bascom – White Star Software

“OpenEdge DBA’s often have to diagnose and cure difficult performance and reliability problems in their environment. In this hands-on workshop we will tackle real-world examples (the names have been changed to protect the guilty) of troublesome problems. We will learn how to gather the information that you need to take the right action yourself or to explain to others (programmers, hardware vendors etc) what they need to do to fix the problems that they are causing and let you go back to surfing cat pictures online.” 

March 5th at 13:30 – 17:00
Index Maintenance Utilities Tips & Tricks 
Presented by: Paul Koufalis – White Star Software

“Do your indexes need a little love and attention? If your answer is “Uhh…maybe?” then this hands-on DBA workshop is for you.”
