It’s almost Winter. Time for deep learning at DOAG 2018!

I’m getting all geared up for the upcoming and prestigious DOAG 2018 conference next week (November 20-23) in Nuremburg, DE. The folks at DOAG patiently reminded me year in and year out since I became an ACE Director to attend, but since DOAG almost always lines up with American Thanksgiving, I demurred. Not this year!

I’ll be joining a cavalcade of excellent speakers on all things Oracle technology, and serendipitously, I’ll be presenting two of my favorite topics:

  • Get Smart! Embrace #SmartDB & Put Code In Its Place explains how DBAs and developers can leverage the #SmartDB paradigm to build applications and how that model can revolutionize your IT organization’s approach to DevOps.
  • Saving Your Database from Alzheimer’s: Oracle 12cR2 DBIM looks how the latest features of Database In-Memory, Analytic Functions, and Analytic Views – including a preview of some of 18c’s newest DBIM features – can make some incredible differences in application performance.

If you haven’t already registered for this event, please do! I’m looking forward to joining you there, learning from you, finding new colleagues, and meeting old friends. Prost!
