From Our Readers
Your corrections, your opinions, and your requests: Here's your forum for telling us what's right and wrong in each issue of Oracle Magazine, and for letting us know what you want to read.
Getting Digital with It
Thank you to all who wrote to us regarding the new digital version of Oracle Magazine. The digital Oracle Magazine is a pilot program that offers a custom online format with hyperlinks and a PDF format for download and offline viewing.
Many of our readers have praised the convenience of viewing Oracle Magazine in this form; some have written about issues encountered when trying to access the digital magazine; and some have asked why they are receiving the digital version.
The digital magazine is currently going out to those who noted on their subscription cards or forms that they would like to receive Oracle Magazine in digital form. If you wish to change this preference, complete and send in the printed subscription card with your new preference, or change the preference in the online form at www.submag.com/sub/oc?pk=orafaq.
—The Editors
Think Small, Think Sample
As a regular reader, I like the articles in Oracle Magazine, but it would be helpful if you could include some small articles that would be useful for beginners in technology on topics such as databases, the Web, JavaServer Pages, and servlets. Articles should include sample code.

There are articles on aspects of Oracle Database in every issue of Oracle Magazine, and most technologies described have at least one Web interface. Please take a look at our technology article index at oracle.com/technology/oramag/sitemap_techarticles.html for more information.
A Place for Sharing
I am a regular reader of Oracle Magazine, and I can assure you that it is very helpful. I have a suggestion, however: For all areas of Oracle Magazine, please find a way for people to share their experiences. For example, create a Web site for all DBAs everywhere to share information and experience and somehow help each other.

People share their Oracle Magazine experiences by sending e-mail to opubedit_us@oracle.com; many requests sent to that address are published here. For sharing Oracle technology experiences, the editors highly recommend the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) online community at oracle.com/technology—and, specifically, the OTN forums at forums.oracle.com. Here Oracle technologists can share their experiences in technology-specific forums.
More Often
I always look forward to reading Oracle Magazine; you guys are doing a great job. I just wonder if the magazine could be made monthly instead of publishing every two months.

Strong Support
I agree with the readers who wrote into your From Our Readers section in the July/August 2006 issue to say that there should be some articles and tutorials specifically for young "babysitter" DBAs and other beginners.
I strongly support and want you to publish articles and columns on all types of database backups, with their steps explained in a manner that's understandable to beginners.
Another thing I would like is notification, for candidates appearing for Oracle Certified Professional [OCP] exams, of the times available for taking the exam, the number of questions asked, and so on. Could you please publish articles helpful for OCP candidates?

For more-detailed information about a particular OCP exam, including duration and number of questions, go to education.oracle.com and click the Exam Details link (under Certification).
