Conference

After a flurry of release announcements at MSIgnite this week, it was time to talk about the technology at a deeper level at PASS Summit.  I love this event, which has my undying loyalty due to the sheer amount of technical focus on everything in the Microsoft data platform and of course, was not disappointed with the first day keynote on Wednesday!

We started out with a great treat of information before the keynote, just so we were prepared for what was to come in the next couple days…plus bacon!

Why dig around for hours in the catalog? Here are all of the downloads registered in the OpenWorld catalog!

You can pick and choose from the list below, or if you want a CURL script that will download the entire set, you can find that here. Enjoy!

Just a couple of weeks away, and my oh my, I am going to be busy at OpenWorld this year!

Of course, first cab off the block will be the OpenWorld swim! It it September and marvellously warm in San Fran, so what better year to come along and meet new friends, and get free coffee and donuts! Just grab a towel from the hotel and head down to the marina!

Register at the link below, so we know how many donuts to buy!!!

Yes indeed! Now that the dates and times are available for OpenWorld 2019, then it is naturally time for the best data searching, filtering and analysis tool on the planet to step up to the plate, enter the fray and …. hmmm… I’ve run out of metaphors

Yeah yeah I know. What kind of dufus cut-pastes a giant image into their blog post. That would be ….. me

But the reality is, there is just soooooo much going on this year on the Sunday before the “official” start of the Kscope conference, it was too hard to condense it into a few sentences. So I just dumped the image from the website, but you can read about it here.

It’s my first Kscope and it will be blast to be running a day of high quality but dirt cheap learning with Maria, Jeff, Steven and Blaine.

I wanted to do a write-up for the APEX Connect conference that happened in Bonn, Germany, a few days ago, as it was a slightly different conference than I normally go to and a slightly different experience for me.

In my 2019 talks, a lot of performance stuff for DBA and Developers:

The co-location of data and code, in present and future (like the MLE engine running JavaScript or Python in the database)

The most relevant statistics gathering in the 12.2 database (from 12cR2, 18c, 19c)

A different view on Join Methods by tracing the internal functions.

The Riga Dev Days in Latvia:

Riga Dev Days | Tech conference and the annual meeting point for developers in Baltic States.

Where I talk about microservices, and data/code co-location

What follow is just my opinion….Well duh, it’s a blog, of course it’s just my opinion, but I’ll try back up my rantings and pontificating with some reasoned arguments. Whether at the end of it, you still call my claims total BS is of course entirely within your rights and your opinion

Just a quick blog post from Wellington New Zealand where we have just wrapped up the 2018 APAC Groundbreakers tour. It was a great way to finish the event with a small but enthusiastic crowd here in New Zealand.
