Roy, the book is on Amazon for quite some time - I got it from there one
or two months ago... Good book.
However, I wish someone writes an advanced Ingres book, from which
Ingres users could learn about good practices in both Ingres
administration and application development, explaining how to boost
performance, how to use various tools to boost performance, etc.
You already did a good job explaining how to tune Ingres in your
presentation.  You could write a book... ;)

Undoubtedly, but perhaps Ingres Corp. should look at Mindview, Inc.
(Bruce Eckel) and release their INGRES and OpenROAD training materials
as Open Source under Creative Commons.

Ingres, isn't quite Mindview (doesn't MindView == Bruce Eckel)?
There's an eco- structure around training that inolves customer
relationships and sales, so why would ingres give some of that away?
As for Roy writing a book.
He could write a book and have say 200 people buy it.
He could pass on the same info to 50 people through training courses and
act as a consultant to some of them.
Which is the most attractive route?

Ummm, yes, hence my reference.

Because MindView proves the Open Source training ecosystem, i.e. Ingres
Corp. would likely see training revenues and sales leads increase as a
result. This isn't a new idea, as other companies, even those in other
industries, have successfully used a "loss leader".

You ought to think about it. Once you write a book, people think you
are smart. I know; I've done it for years And the royalties are
more than my 401-k retirement plan. But so is my bar bill at a
conference  |
