Day 3 is the day of The Party. This year, with legendary The Journey playing.

Besides the music, all kinds of fun went on.

The Sphere

I had a few hours before The Party, so I went to catch a show at The Sphere. It’s an amazing event venue – the exterior is almost as impressing as the interior.

I saw the most amazing U2 concert – recorded specially for the huge indoor screen. There is literally screens all over the place, so it’s like being right in the middle of it.

Next time you come to Oracle CloudWorld, be sure to book a show.

Announcements

In our Data Pump talk, we had several new features to present:

• Faster creation of indexes
• Instantly adding new constraints in NOVALIDATE mode

From the smiling faces in the audience, those new features were really well received. Stay tuned for more information.

The Beast

I also had the chance to present a story from the trenches.

Migrating The Beast

An interesting case about a 180 TB database generating 15 TB/day – moving from SPARC Solaris to Exadata. A great achievement by our friends from Entain.

Over the last years I’ve learned so much from working with this project. Never hesitate to reach out to a product manager when you have big projects ahead of you.

We love these kinds of projects!
