It’s a big day here at AskTOM HQ !

We had the first AskTOM Office Hours Q&A for Database Administrators yesterday.  Thanks to everyone that showed up, and thanks for the questions.

If you missed it, you can catch a replay here

Last year I’ve been to a few conferences. At some point I thought I need to record some of the sessions to let more people see them as well.
So I took a cheap action camera & recorded several presentations. Video quality is not good (mostly) due to lighting but still is enough to get an idea of how was it back there in a room.
Here’re links to the videos. Enjoy!

Hatem Mahmoud – Memory Access Tracing/Profiling

Jonathan Lewis – Just Don’t Do It

Panel Discussion at POUG2017

Marcin Przepiorowski – dNFS for DBAs

Neil Chandler – Why Has My Plan Changed

This year we’ve answered over 2800 of your questions and followed up on 3500 reviews. It’s been a great and busy year! We’ll see you all in 2018

Well…this isn’t a horror movie, it’s something awesome

Here are my thoughts on why you should be attending

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that even if you have incredibly stringent controls on user authentication, user authorisation etc, that wont save you if your data on disk is not encrypted.  All you need is an errant tape, a missing disk, a misplaced flash stick…and kersplat, someone has a copy of your datafiles from your Oracle database.

Data at rest should be encrypted, but that often meant taking applications offline to do so.

I’ve put my Speed Racer hat on and here’s a video on a new 12c Release 2 feature covered in 60 seconds !

What do you do when

• you’re an Australian,
• you’re at Oracle Headquarters, 13,000 kms from home
• you bump into someone whilst grabbing a coffee

Well…naturally, you lure them over with a packet of our famous Australian chocolate biscuits, grab a camera and have a chat !

Maria Colgan and I chew the fat over why you should upgrade to Oracle Database 12c (including Release 2)
