Blog roll update: Iggy Fernandez

Lately my blog roll updates have been pretty technical and many related to Exadata specifically, but today I bring you a different kind of blog!  If you need to brush up on your SQL (or NoSQL) skills and then take them to the next level, you need to check out Iggy Fernandez's blog!  My SQL/NoSQL skills are just fine, there is no reason I need to visit Iggy's page you say?  Wrong you would be!  Not on does his blog cover this subject, but he is an Oracle ACE, regular contributor with the NoCOUG, and author of the Beginning Oracle Database 11g Administration book.  Do you really want to miss out on the posts of an experienced DBA about the subject of SQL or NoSQL?  I would not if I were you!

An Oracle podcast on the ACE program

From the ArchBeat comes a podcast in three parts, which I really enjoyed listening to as a. I've wanted to become an Oracle ACE for quite some time and b. Bob Rhubart is a really good host for the panelists to talk about their experiences and how they became involved with the program.  Great motivation to keep doing what I'm doing with the blog!
