I’m on my way back from Oracle DatabaseWorld at CloudWorld 2023. It’s been such a great week. I’ve met old friends and made new ones. I love being amongst our customers and helping them use the Oracle Database in the best possible way.

Slides

If you are curious, here are the slide decks from our sessions.

• Best Practices for Upgrade and Migration to Oracle Database 23c
• Patching Best Practices for the Oracle Database and Grid Infrastructure
• Help! My database is on Oracle 8i
• Data Pump New Features and Best Practices
• Simplify your Migration of Databases to the Cloud

Try Our Hands-On Labs

This year, we had three hands-on labs. Two of them were brand-new and had their premiere:

• Data Pump Cross Platform Migration
• Patch me if you can

Plus, we introduced a revamped version of our upgrade lab:

• Upgrade and Migrate to Oracle Database 23c the easy way

You can run all our labs in Oracle LiveLabs – FOR FREE! All it takes is a browser.

Cool Stuff

A while ago, we introduced ORAdiff. It’s a really cool tool that tells the difference between two releases or patch sets. Use it before you patch or upgrade. It’s completely free – just log on with your Oracle accont.

Thanks

Thanks to my team: Roy, Mike, Rodrigo and Bill. All the content we deliver is a geniune team effort.

Thanks to the organizers. They worked hard in the background, so we enjoy a well-organized conference. Especially thanks to Kay Malcolm and her team for organizing Oracle DatabaseWorld.

Thanks to you – our valued customer – for coming to our conference and engaging with us.

What’s Next

With great pleasure, I can share that we expanded the Oracle CloudWorld Tour. We will be visiting eight cities at the beginning of 2024. Stay tuned!

I hope to see you next year at Oracle CloudWorld, September 9-12 2024.
