RE: TUSC and Kevin Loney

If Quest and TUSC are attracting a number of high-profile people, they will probably survive the recession. : )

TUSC says they recently expanded, they used to be only in Chicago I think. They opened an office in Atlanta, and they have another one somewhere.

I don't know as much about Quest.

So what does this mean for O'Reilly Publishers, if all these good authors now fall under the wing of database consulting firms? Quest through O'Reilly, and TUSC through Oracle Press? Steven Feuerstein used to publish via O'Reilly.

        As far as I am aware, some of the very respectable 'big guns' at
Quest are:
        Gaja, Eyal Aronoff, Guy Harrison (yes - the one from the 'Oracle SQL
tuning'
        fame), Steven Feuerstein (of PL/SQL fame), ....

        And now, as TUSC are: Rich Niemiec (President IOUG-A?), Kevin Loney,
Mike
        Ault, ...

        So is this coalition a viable alternative to the all-knowing Oracle
Support
        Services?
