The company I work for, Trivadis, is very pleased to organize, the 11th and 12th of December, an outstanding seminar with top guest speakers in Zurich. This year’s focus will be on the Oracle query optimizer, also known as a cost-based optimizer (CBO).

The query optimizer is not only one of the most complex pieces of software that constitutes the Oracle kernel; it is also one of the most unappreciated. Why? To make the best and most efficient use of the query optimizer, you definitely need to understand how it works. This is exactly what we are aiming for at the CBO Days.

Enjoy the two days with:
- Jonathan Lewis, JL Computer Consultancy (GB)
- Jože Senegačnik, DbProf (SI)
- Maria Colgan, Optimizer product manager, Oracle Corporation (USA)
- Mohamed Zait, Optimizer chief developer, Oracle Corporation (USA)
- Randolf Geist, Freelance (DE)
- Christian Antognini, Trivadis (CH)
