Welcome to the Oaktable

Welcome to the OakTable. The OakTable network is a network for the Oracle scientist, who believes in better ways of administering and developing Oracle based systems. The network is an informal organisation, which will get together at various Oracle events.

Upcoming Events

Oaktable Challenge

The OakTable Challenge goes live whenever the OakTable Network sets up a stand at any of the public user-oriented events. Previous events which have seen an OakTable stand include: Miracle Open World, the UK Oracle User Group annual conference, and the Rocky Mountain Oracle User Group annual conference.

The OakTable Challenge is simple. Ask us (The OakTable members) any technical Oracle-related question and if we cannot provide you with either a solution or/and answer like, "yes", "no", "we need more information" or "cannot be done" within 24 hours, we'll give you a T-shirt that states that you challenged the OakTable Network - and won!

  • But maybe get your own group with people of the right calibre and stop polluting other people's groups? Sigh ... I know I'll upset people — 21 hours 37 min ago
  • A bunch of users getting together and whining about stuff but helping each other too. Which execs can do as well - I get that — 21 hours 38 min ago
  • If it's about my personal image or company image or my contacts within Oracle or, or .... Massively tedious to me. That's what an OUG is!! — 21 hours 39 min ago
  • But I can't abide community blah blah blah or hypocrisy. When I present I flat out do it a) because I like my own voice b) to help people — 21 hours 40 min ago
  • One thing I truly believe I'm not is naive. Idealistic, maybe ;) but my clients at corporate giants and I'm ok with that — 21 hours 41 min ago
