Feedback from a regular RMOUG attendee...
Robert Holland says: You are an inspiration to me...I have watched you grow and contribute to the well being of us all throughout the past 14 years of my time in the RMOUG and in every way you exemplify the lifestyle, ethics and mythos/pathos I wish to build myself. Your self-esteem is your best asset because it frees you to be confident and powerful in your ability to give and share with others.
In a fiercely competitive and completely over-saturated training market you have carved out an excellent career for yourself in helping others do the same.
Nice comment from an Oracle University seminar participant:
Hello Dan,
Thanks a lot for this great material. This is definitely an additional value over the standard course material. And it contains links to very interesting new sources.
It was a luck to have had you as our instructor, Dan.
Hope to meet you in another class soon.
Best regards
Johannes
Nice comment from a regular client
Thanks again for all of your help in the past- you truly were one of the
best trainers we had!!
SQL Performance Tuning At Your Desk!
Galina Savikovsky says: This was the best class I ever had and the most cost-effective one. (I had a bunch of classes from Oracle itself and other providers). Dan is a great teacher and is very pleasant to work with. I also really liked his eagerness to say good things about tools developed by other people or to give other Oracle gurus the credit they deserve. This is a rare quality. This class is worth every penny and every minute spent. Thanks a lot for the great week and for the priceless information.
Advanced PL/SQL At Your Desk!
Mike Williams says: Thanks Dan. Great class, you've done a terrific job with all of it --
material, presentation, technical details, etc.
...he later writes:
Thanks for an excellent class. When I think back over how much you
packed into 5 half-day sessions, I'm amazed. I didn't know what to
expect from a web-based class, but it was almost like having you here
providing over-the-shoulder training. I appreciate how every topic was
peppered with how-to's, useful tips on performance, comparisons with
other methods, etc. It'll take me a while to digest everything you
covered, but I can start putting this to use right away. My only regret
is that I didn't have this class years ago, as I think back over all the
code I've written that could have been so much better. I'm definitely
planning to take your other course on SQL Performance Tuning; I can't
wait to see what I've been missing in that arena! Thanks again.
Feedback from a Collaborate10 attendee...
Howard Hackworth says: I am a DBA and a 12 year user of Embarcadero's DBArtisan, a Toad competitor DBA tool. My new company uses TOAD exclusively and although I have been meaning to make the switch it has been a difficult transition without any training on using TOAD. Your session and now armed with your book I am diving into TOAD and already making more headway in a day then in the past
several months without your help.
Anyway, I just wanted to say Thank You...
Feedback from TOAD Tips and Techniques Course
Al Hayes recently attended my TOAD Tips and Techniques course and says: "I was generating a list of the best things I learned in the class last
night and there were quite a few. Thanks again for a good class."

Reference from one client to a prospective client:
As Coordinator of Human Resources Development, I oversee training
and development for all of our employees (approximately 1400
employees).
In May of this year, I hired Dan Hotka as an independent
contractor to train 36 of our programmers on our campus. Dan worked with
one of our IT managers and myself to customize a SQL Tuning and
Troubleshooting program that would meet our specific training needs.
The resulting program exceeded our expectations, and our employees came out of
the training with skills that they were able to immediately apply to their
jobs.
From my perspective, one of Dan's greatest strengths as a trainer is that
he has real world experience using the software. He's not just a trainer
who has learned the software and teaches a class. When I contract with a
trainer, I expect him to be able to answer specific questions that our
employees have about the work they are doing. Dan was able to take on that
consulting role and apply the software to the work we are doing here.
We have recently approved our development plans for FY04, and I am certain
that we will be working with Dan to develop training programs again this
year. I would most definitely recommend Dan Hotka to our best clients
because of the real world experience he brings to the classroom and his
willingness to meet our specific training needs.
