Oracle Cloud had been around for a while now. Oracle’s cloud infrastructure was launched in 2016 under the name Oracle Bare Metal Cloud Services. It was rebranded Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in 2018 and is now touted as a “Generation 2 Cloud”. This presentation will explore all the various offerings of Oracle Cloud, their advantages, and disadvantages. I’ll discuss considerations that you should think about when moving to the cloud. Then, I’ll show how you can use Oracle Cloud Free Tier to access several, “Always Free” services for development, small business initiatives or just experimenting with new versions of Oracle DBs.

Accurate master data is the bedrock for system integrity. It guides users through the master data process to ensure the data is entered, approved, and finally loaded, via integrations, into JDE. It also utilizes system processes to reduce manual input for improved accuracy and efficiency.

With support ending or expiring for Oracle database versions before 19c, there’s likely an upgrade in your future. Unfortunately, the technical skills and procedures developed for earlier database versions are no longer supported. New requirements and features introduced in Oracle Database versions 19c and 23c completely change your upgrade workflows! There’s so much to consider that it’s easy to feel intimidated, even overwhelmed!

AutoUpgrade mitigates the risks and fears database administrators face. It offers unparalleled simplicity and control over all phases of the upgrade process, covering every imaginable upgrade and migration scenario. AutoUpgrade’s built-in error detection, correction, and self-healing capabilities protect the database at every step, offering peace of mind in any environment—including those running RAC, Data Guard, GoldenGate, encryption, and legacy and multi-tenant architectures.

In this session, I share practical advice based on my experience upgrading dozens of production databases with AutoUpgrade and working with Oracle’s AutoUpgrade team

Oracle SQL Plan Management (SPM) is often overlooked and underused. This feature started in version 11.1 and has been enhanced with each new release. As of 19c this should be your goto method to help maintain well performing SQL statements.
