1272.0. "Ideas for Local Rdb Users Group" by STOHUB::DSCGLF::FARLOW (Simplify!) Tue Jul 27 1993 22:34

I am starting a Local Rdb Users Group in St. Louis.  

I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions for the structure of the group, 
topics, etc. or even just your experiences with a local Rdb User's Group.

Thanks,

Steve

    Hi Steve ! I was talking to Mars at Ever Ready, and he and Monsanto
    were looking to get together with a few others to have Rdb internals
    taught onsite.
    
    How about showing the customers DSNlink? Its an electronic way to get
    into the CSC, and the wealth of knowledge is stupendous.
    
    And, how about explaining the decision making process in DBS
    Engineering, you know, how customers can get things on the wish agenda.
    
    Show em the rdb users magazine, the RSVP catalog, etc, make the point
    Rdb is more than a 'digital' product, that its the bedrock for a lot of
    third parties as well. Assemble a list of rdb consultants in the US and
    pass it around.

DBS Engineering would be happy to send someone to give a presentation at
one of your LUG meetings.

But wait until the waters recede :-)
1272.3Suggestions from the Database Performance SIGMSDOA::SECRISTIt's software & marketing, stupid !Wed Jul 28 1993 12:3114
	I have a database performance sig at my customer site.  Each
	meeting starts with a slide reminding people about sound database
	backup procedures (VMS backup: not !; use AIJs; read about, under-
	stand, and use RMU/BACKUP; and most important: do a test RESTORE).
	I then have 30-60 minutes talks on various topics including
	backup, database parameters, etc. or review the latest DECUS
	presentations, significant new features I digest from the release
	notes, etc. and/or do things like show the Database Tools video
	or "Educating Peter."

	Regards,
	rcs
