For the first time ever, I will be speaking at UKOUG Tech Days this coming December 5-8 in Liverpool, UK. I’ve wanted to carve out enough time to visit England during the Christmas holiday season ever since I explored the eastern edge of the UK a few years back, so it’s serendipitous that I’ll be joining a team of some of the best and most knowledgeable speakers on Oracle technology.
I’m also thrilled that two of my favorite topics were chosen for me to present:
- Session #51: Everything You Know Is Wrong: DBA Intuition, Meet Hard-Core Metrics explores what goes through a DBA’s head when she’s trying to find the root causes of a particular problem, and how easy it is to let one’s intuition take control when she should be looking at the dashboard instead.
- Session #47: Caveat Nuba Emptor: Matching Your Organization’s Needs To the Best OPC Database looks at two of Oracle’s Public Cloud offerings and explores the innards of how Exadata Express might make a great addition to a DBA’s capabilities to help her customers – her application developers! – quickly build new applications without fear of overusing critical resources.
Please do check out the schedule here; it could change, of course! – and don’t forget to register for the event. I promise I’ll see you there!
