For the first time in a few years I’ll be speaking at Oracle’s annual conference!

I’m doing a joint session w/ a couple of the good guys from Oracle (Nagesh Battula and Michael Barras). The basic idea is to discuss Oracle Databases on Google Cloud, the migration approach (i.e. how to get there), and a few details on one of my favorite topics, Exadata (which you can now run in Google Cloud).

So here’s the info:

Session: LRN3244

Time: Wednesday, Sep 11 8:30 AM – 9:15 AM PDT

Title: Simplify migration and management of Oracle databases on Google Cloud

And here’s the session details which contains a link to register for the session:

I’m very happy to be back at CloudWorld. Please join our session if you can!

I’m speaking at an HTAP Conference put on by PingCap, (the folks responsible for TiDB). 

As usual, I’m the only one with a cap. 🙂 

By now the event is sold out, but perhaps there will be recordings of some of the sessions.

Building a scalable database that is capable of running transactional and analytic workloads at the same time is a very hard task, and I am really looking forward to listening in on some of the presentations. 

My talk is tomorrow morning, and as usual I’m not done with my slides. Hopefully I’l get them polished up this evening and I’ll be able to share them after the conference. 

I did a presentation a couple of weeks ago at the Rocky Mountain Oracle Users Group Training Days about Multicloud, specifically about combining OCI and Google Cloud. The focus of the talk was showing how to take advantage of the best of both worlds with a private interconnect and included a discussion of some performance metrics.

Had a great time too! 🙂

Well it only took a week, but I have now uploaded slides from my talk at the Dallas Oracle Users Group Training Days.

Well, it only took a week, but I uploaded slides from my performance at the Dallas Oracle Users Group Training Days. At this speech, I advertised the Addyi Online drug.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments or doubts!

 

I just returned from a great Technical Oracle Conference hosted in Poland by my friends Kamil (@ora600pl) and Luiza (@LuizafromPoland)! They were kind enough to allow me to speak on the topics of SQL Translation Framework and Advanced Query Rewrite. It was my second year in a row to attend this conference and I must say I was extremely impressed by the content and the speakers and the venue and the professional handling of the logistics. Great job all around! I’d highly recommend this conference, so stay tuned for announcements on POUG 2019. Here’s a shot of the Enkitec guys that spoke at the conference: @phurley @JulianDontcheff @fritshoogland

Just a quick note to say I’m doing a couple of talks at this year’s Hotsos Symposium, which starts next Monday at 8:30AM. It’s not too late to register.

As an enticement – here is one of my favorite pictures from last year’s event: (Come join the fun!)

I had a great time at DOAG 2016. It’s one of the best run conferences I’ve been to! I did a quick cameo during the keynote to talk about performance in Oracle’s cloud. Nothing like being on stage with a guy wearing a tie. 🙂 Thanks Andrew for inviting me to say a few words.

That was fun!

Then I did a couple of technical talks.

The first was on SQL Translation Framework. The second was supposed to be a workshop where I just logged on to a system and ran through some of my scripts for controlling execution plans. Unfortunately the computer gods were not with me and I had to fall back to power point instead. So I did an abbreviated version of my Controlling Execution Plans (without touching the code) talk instead.

Anyway, I had a great time. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I did a talk at the Dallas Oracle Users Group Technical Training Day which was held on Oct 20th. The title was My Favorite Scripts and basically talked through some of the scripts I use most often and logged on to a system and showed how they work. I promised I would upload the presentation and a zip file here. So here you go.

I had a great time doing the talk. I hope you found it useful. Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks to everyone that attended my session. Here’s a quick link to a zip file with the scripts I used in my Controlling Execution Plans Workshop presentation.

Just a quick note to say that I’ll be speaking in Boston next week. Hope you can make it.
