I’m happy to announce the debut of Oracle Talk.

Oracle Talk is our new biweekly podcast series all about Oracle database and applications management designed for DBAs, developers and managers of Oracle shops. Each half-hour episode focuses on a specific topic and features recent SearchOracle.com content, interviews with experts and authors and a round-up of Oracle-related news, hosted by yours truly, Tim DiChiara, editor of SearchOracle.com.

In the inaugural episode of Oracle Talk, we explore why database administrators are in such a tizzy about their career choice and what can they do to improve their lot. We also answer some career and certification questions submitted to our experts, as well as rounding up the latest news from the Oracle community and beyond. In future episodes, we’ll be focusing on topics such as the impending release of Database 11g, Oracle security, Oracle vs. SAP and surviving the patching and upgrading treadmill.

Besides Oracle Talk, we have a growing collection of over a dozen podcasts about other topics, which are listed in our podcast library. If you have any comments or suggestions about our podcasting efforts, let us know!

Thanks and have a great week,
Tim
