I think it depends on if you are a senior or junior DBA.
If you are junior DBA then I think courses are better. It gives you
more exposure, more hands on, instructor one-on-one,etc.
If your a senior DBA then I think conferences are better. At that
level you are able to learn on your own. I find that conferences
provide me with exposure to a wider range of subjects, which is enough
to kickstart me in the right direction. As for Joe's comment, I
haven't been to IOUG so I can't compare. However, I would say based
on the feedback I have heard from last years Openworld unconference
sessions, they were really good and may fill the gap.
