2018 Is Halfway Gone … But Not Forgotten!

It’s hard to believe that 2018 is half over already. I’ve had an incredibly busy six months traveling to and speaking at Oracle user groups events and conferences across the country, so it’s been another exhilarating six months for me … and that means you all have access to some great collateral and code!

I’ve added all four of my most popular presentations as PowerPoint slide shows for download. They’re chock-full of interesting insights into where our world as Oracle DBAs and applications developers is headed, plus some great code samples to boot.

Don’t forget to check out my overview of #SmartDB because it’s got some great examples of how to leverage Edition-Based Redefinition (EBR) and cross-edition triggers to make it simpler to handle application migrations and upgrades with no application downtime. And because everything I’ve shown you is a mere soupcon of how #SmartDB works, don’t forget to take at the links I’ve included in that presentation to (much!) deeper dives on #SmartDB by my colleagues and mentors Bryn Llewelyn and Toon Koopelars.

And the rest of 2018 will be equally busy: I’m headed off to South America to participate int the 2018 Latin America Oracle User CODE events in August, then heading over to ECOUG in September, and wrapping up my October with presentations and learning at OOW18. I hope to see you soon at an upcoming event!
