Interested in a deep dive of logical replication?

It’s next week at #DOAG2015

Interested in a deep dive of logical replication? Let’s try it. The best way to learn is to try it and this is the idea of #RepAttack where you can quickly install a replication configuration on your laptop, using VirtualBox, Oracle XE, and Dbvisit replicate trial version.

Last year Jan Karremans (www.jk-consult.nl) organized a #RepAttack which was cool but we were in a room at the end of the 3rd floor and many people hesitated to come inside. So for this year we had the idea to do it in a different way: fix a rendez-vous at the 2nd floor in front of the stairs:

Wednesday, November 18 – 2:00pm

There we meet up, give a brief intro of #RepAttack, distribute USB stick with all required software, and we will find a place to go to put the laptops on a table (or not – it’s lap-top afterall) and start installing/configuring.

Why on the 2nd floor? Because all Dbvisit partners are there: Opitz, Herrmann & Lenz Services GmbH and dbi services are just at the arrival of the stairs and Robotron a few steps from there.

And at dbi services, we have the ‘live demo’ screen that we use for any on-demand demo for people coming at the booth. There I can show you how the #Repattack will look like before you do it on your laptop.

Hope to see lot of people next week.

The prereqs for the laptops are:

• At least 2.3 Gb RAM per VM. 5 Gb in total as 2 VMs will be built. A laptop with 8 Gb is recommended.
• At least 17Gb of free space. 25 Gb is recommended.
• 2 GHz Processor (a lesser processor will be acceptable but slower)
• Admin privileges on your host machine are required to install VirtualBox.
• Either Windows, Linux, Mac OS X operating system on your host machine. –

If you want to look at the cookbook, it’s online: https://dbvisit.atlassian.net/wiki/display/REPA11XE/RepAttack+11g+XE+Home

If you have an HP laptop, please check before that you can start a 64-bit VM on it because experience at #rackattack shows that we can spend a lot of time finding the right BIOS settings. But don’t worry, we are there to help.

Not at DOAG? Then see you next month in Birmingham, there’s another #RepAttack there.
