   Does anyone know of a good training course for application developers   
   who need to learn more about SQL efficiency, understanding Explain Plans   
   and learning how to improve SQL by tweaking SQL or providing hints.   
   Course should explain the differences between Rules based and Cost based   
     optimization.   
      
   Our DBA group has demanded that our application groups take more   
   responsibility for fine-tuning our Oracle applications, many of which   
   are third party products which auto-generate SQL.  We're not looking for   
   DBA training, but we'll take it if covers the above.   
      
   Oracle or third party training is fine and we'd prefer if it were in NYC   
   or at least in the tri-state area.  We plan on sending 2 to 3 associates.   
      
      
   Thanks.
