The IOUG is currently accepting submissions for our fifth annual Best Practices Booklet of technical tips for Oracle professionals. This popular booklet will mail in October 2010.

We're looking for best practices and tips for managing an Oracle Database, geared toward developers and DBAs.

Share the tips and best practices you use in your work all the time-the code snippets and favorite queries you keep within easy reach. "Best practices" include acknowledged and sensible ways of carrying out an activity; "tips" illustrate how some activity could be done in a better way or reveal some undocumented or not-so-well-known feature.

Submissions should be 500-1,000 words long; due to space constraints, we ask that your submission have a specific focus as opposed to any overarching database principles. Submissions can range from beginning to advanced-level skills and should include the actual code and queries used (screenshots and other small graphics are also acceptable).

The submission deadline is Monday, June 21.

If you have any questions about this project, please feel free to contact our Best Practices Booklet Coordinator Theresa Wojtalewicz, select@ioug.org.
