Perth is far from everywhere, but not far from the Oracle
technologies. Passion, knowledge, and urge to share the experience,
skills, tips and knowledge brought people from across the planet to
gather under one roof and learn, educate and network under the banner of
Oracle with 20:20 Foresight.
The event was organized by the
Australian Oracle User Group with many other sponsors and exhibitors and
was a explosion of innovation. Where there is Oracle on this planet,
Pythian is there, rest assured. We presented three papers during this
mega conference in West of Australia.
Yury Velikanov presented
on Direct NFS, and I presented on Exadata Patching and Oracle IORM in
Exadata. Pythian’s Warren Adkins was also present during the event.
The sessions by
Tom Kyte,
Malenie Caffrey,
Connor McDonald,
Peter Sharman, Martin Power and Paul Geurin were few of the many great
presenters. From pluggable databases to Oracle Data Archive, and from
R12 migrations to Exadata, the conference had everything for everyone.
It also supported the great cause of
cancer council in Western Australia and the passion for it was great too.
