I plan to take a few advance SUN courses to refresh and advance my knowledge. I am particularly interested in checking out the DTrace and Solaris 10 Predictive Self-Healing courses. Has anyone taken them before? Are they any good?
BTW, a very good resource on Solaris 10 is Solaris 10 System Administration Collection.

Back from MySQL Performance Tuning Course in Washington, DC
About an hour ago, I got back from Washington, DC after spending four days attending a very productive MySQL performance tuning training session. I really enjoyed conversations with old and new friends including:
I enjoyed the class very much. We had many engaging discussions and tips were flying everywhere.
Tobias was very generous in answering questions, eager to jump to the whiteboard to take an in depth dive. Well done, my friend.
Towards the end of the session I was feeling strongly that this course actually should be a two part course. What we did in the first 1.5 days should be part of a different course or that material be given to students a few days so it can be reviewed by them. That way, we can intensify discussions even more from the very start of the course.
While talking with my friends there I also felt that there should be an addition to the course consisting of real-life problems and solutions as experienced by the companies using MySQL. I would be willing to contribute generic form of problems and gotchas I have encountered related to MySQL performance tuning on Linux and Solaris.
After having attending the performance training tutorial session by Tobias Asplund and Peter Zaitsev at MySQL Conference 2006, I was very excited before going to this session and I am glad that it was a very good decision. I will highly recommend this session for anyone who is interested in MySQL performance tuning. Professionals of all skill levels will get something out of this.
A big thanks once again to Warren and Ronald.

MySQL Performance Tuning Training in Washington, DC
I will be spending the coming week in Washington, DC to attend a four day MySQL performance tuning training session.
I believe Tobias Asplund will be the presenter. During the MySQL conference last year (then known as MySQL Users Conference), I attended a three hour performance tuning session presented by Tobias and Peter Zaitsev and enjoyed it very much so I cannot wait to attend this one.
The training will be held at MySQL's training facility in downtown Washington, DC.
I will be staying at Washington Suites in Georgetown, DC. Their suites are less expensive than many hotel rooms.
A big thanks to Ronald Bradford for recommending the training session, my boss Warren Habib for agreeing to sponsor me and Kerry Ancheta for assisting me in the invoicing process.
Ronald and Michelle have more on the trip.
If you are planning to attend the training, drop me a line and let's get together for a drink or two.
If you have a MySQL performance tuning question, especially if they are related to InnoDB and IO bound issues, send away as a comment and I will try to get it answered for you.
