That was the worse session I ever attended. What about you?? No need to name names, I'm not looking to embarrass anyone...

Worst talk ever ? Easy. One of my own.

Early-nineties I gave a talk on best practices to my work colleagues.

Fast forward 15 years, dozens of projects, and two continents, and voila, I'm back in Perth, and I'm working on a project with one of my original work mates. She pulls out the 15 year old slides and tells me how she's religiously following the recommendations... you know things like checking the buffer cache hit ratio, rebuilding her indexes regularly, throwing bitmap indexes on high activity tables, stuff like that...The only positive was that I got the bit about bind variables right...

Live and learn I guess...
