Helmut,

I've looked at both mags (they seem to like to send free issues about once a year with a request for money). I am rather unimpressed. You will find better information on various websites and through user group publications. One thing I like about user group magazines is that the compensation for the authors is minimal, so they write for the love of writing and sharing their knowledge and not because they are getting paid for it. It is a lot like this list, those who are solely interested in compensation are not contributors, but those who consider knowledge sharing a personal/professional responsibility will contribute. I would personally trust the person who is motivated by a sense of personal obligation than one who is motivated by a 'cents' of financial obligation.

Regards,
Daniel Fink

Hi!

I was wondering whether anybody out there has subscribed to any Oracle
Magazines (not the one from Oracle itself)?

AFAIK there are only two magazines out there:

"Oracle Professional" from Pinnacle Publishings
"Exploring Oracle" from Element-K Journals

Are they worth the money? Or does anybody know of any other publications?

Thanks,
Helmut
