First technical session started by Satyendra Kumar and session is “Performance Tuning”, its all about Performance tuning tools we use, Understanding AWR report, ASH architecture, ADDM so on…. It was quiet interesting and of course lot of attention from attendees as well 🙂
The next technical session is from Me 😉 The sesion is : “Rolling Upgrades – Minimum Downtime 11g vs 12c”, I’ve explained what is rolling upgrade, when its introduced, what is new in 12c with DBMS_ROLLING , how simple to use new feature and so on 🙂 Unfortunately my voice is too low and not sure whether its reachable to attendees or not.
After my session….Now its Lunch session, Lunch is something special i.e. Pizza and soft drinks 🙂 Yes every body enjoyed it and Special thanks to DTCC.
Attendees mixed of DBA and Developers, So by keeping in that mind there is an Developer session too from Hariharaputhran, Session is “Oracle 12c News Features for Developers”, Even though am DBA but this session was very useful he explained well how the query works in Oracle and other platforms and what is new in 12c and how simplified now and same time what disadvantages they have. Totally Super 🙂
After Hariharaputhran session, there was an interesting session i.e. Q & A, There are many questions from attendees on tuning, Satyendra explained everything using the Real-Time AWR report and explained each section how to analyze. It was pretty cool.
Now we are done with our first Channai chapter and it was big success and i can sense all attendeees are happy and am sure they will attend in the next event along with force 🙂 But.. But we all should say a big thanks to DTCC and team for providing Venue, Lunch, Photography … everything..
