Good morning!
I'd be interested to know how DBA groups elsewhere do knowledge transfer of
new database features (from an application development perspective) to the
staff who ultimately build applications against the databases you
administer. Granted, these people may be pure developers, analysts or
architects, app DBAs or something else from shop to shop, but eventually
someone needs to decide whether to use dbms_crypto, utl_mail or whatnaught
and that person needs to train others. What's worked, what hasn't?
In the past, we've done some "brown bag" lunchtime sessions in a conference
room, primarily DBAs giving brief (30min) sessions on new features, or cool
tips/tricks with SQL or PL/SQL, the 10g recyclebin, and so forth, usually
with senior development staff and dev team technical managers. (It's fallen
off a bit lately.) These have worked well although they've been a bit
scattershot--unstructured and more of a volunteer effort.
Thoughts?
Bob
