Thank you for all the comments. I have just signed up for it. Too near to withdraw now. I have attended a 10g New Features Course last Nov. It was a bit of OEM-based, as that was the first time I have touched web-based OEM, it was still ok. I would prefer learning the concepts and architecture as well. Now, SQL tuning was my original focus and target. Ok, I think I will have to turn all my questions into a OEM-based now, and make the best use of it. Thank you for the comments :-), these are great!!! -- Regards, Peter Teoh -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
