Norman,

In a few weeks, I'll be teaching a 1-day course in the London area called
"Mastering Oracle Trace Data." Included in the fee for the course are
limited licenses for two of our commercial tools, MR Trace and MR Tools
(which are supported for all versions of Oracle from 7 through 11.2,
recognizing the new CLOSE dbcall and many other 11gR2 things as well).

Some information about the course:

   - Mastering Oracle Trace Data
   - Taught by Cary Millsap
   - 1 day, 10am–4pm
   - London area
   - 8 September 2011
   - US$625
   - Includes Method R software you get to take home
   - ...and a Method R "I can help you trace it" T-shirt
   - http://methodr20110908.eventbrite.com

This would take you out of manual MethodR territory.

We make software tools for a living, so we're very serious about making sure
that we keep up to speed with Oracle's Database software releases.
