IOUG Select Journal Editor’s Choice Award 2011

In May I received the IOUG Select Journal Editor’s Choice Award for my Systematic Oracle Latch Contention Troubleshooting article where I introduced my LatchProfX tool for advanced drilldown into complex latch contention problems (thanks IOUG and John Kanagaraj!).

As the relevant IOUG webpage hasn’t been updated yet, I thought to delay this announcement until the update was done – but I just found an official enough announcement (press release) by accident from Reuters site:

• http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/12/idUS279518+12-May-2011+BW20110512

Woo-hoo! :-)

The article itself is here:

Thanks to IOUG crew, John Kanagaraj and everyone else who has read, used my stuff and given feedback! :-)
