The OSDM initiative might be a tacit admission that the JDeveloper modelling tools aren't up to the job of modelling the Fusion Apps database schemas. <BR/><BR/>If that is the rationale then I suspect Oracle aren't too bothered about market penetration. <BR/><BR/>Or perhaps they just want to bolster the SQL Developer brand against TOAD's modelling add-on.APChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18348719053445885097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000143.post-50639662356601990602008-12-04T02:06:00.000-08:002008-12-04T02:06:00.000-08:00The Tech stream was spread over five days last yea...The Tech stream was spread over five days last year, so I don't think that has had much bearing on this year's turnout. <BR/><BR/>For next year I understand "the" Annual Conference will be three days long but for just Tech and EBS. There will be satellite conferences targetted at the communities for the recent acquistions at different times.

For example, the Oracle technology stream this year has been spread thinly over all 5 days, which basically means people may only be able to attend one or two days in order to cherry-pick presentations. A return to the halcyon days of a 3 day conference with a packed technical agenda would be most welome.Peter Lyons-Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923913745537884300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13000143.post-31007603580108955802008-12-03T18:09:00.000-08:002008-12-03T18:09:00.000-08:00Yes, I noticed a comment in one of the Data Modell...Yes, I noticed a comment in one of the Data Modeller product documents (ormaybe on the website)about it being seperately licensed. "Boooh!"<BR/><BR/>I like the early adopter release, but what sort of market penetration is a data modelling tool from a database vendor going to get, regardless of how much the marketing material says it supports multiple RDBMSs? Seems dubious to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
