DOAG 2014

I’ll present two lectures in DOAG 2014 – the annual conference of the German Oracle user group.
The conference will be on November 18th-20th 2014 in Nuremberg.
Here is the full program of the conference.

The first presentation is Edition Based Redefinition best practices. Here is the abstract:
Edition-Based Redefinition (EBR) is a powerful and fascinating feature of Oracle (added in version 11.2), that enables application upgrades with zero downtime, while the application is actively used and operational. Join this session to learn how to use EBR, see many live examples, and get tips from real-life experience in a production site using EBR extensively.

The second presentation is Write Less (Code) with More (Oracle 12c New Features). Here is the abstract:
Oracle 12c introduced many new features that allow us developers to write less code than in previous releases, and become more efficient and productive.
Some features, such as Row Limiting and Lateral Inline Views, enhance the SQL language, so SQL statements can become much shorter and more readable than before.
Other features, such as Temporal Validity and In-Database Archiving, offer built-in functionality that previously had to be implemented by the application.
Attend this session to learn about several of these new features, and see many useful examples.
