Dear Database fans

The program of your conference #DOAGDB23 is online today! From the many submissions, the program committee has filtered the best entries on the topics Database and Exadata to present international speakers, exciting sessions for beginners and experts, and professional training. Take a look at the agenda and mark your favorites from almost 70 sessions!

The DOAG 2023 Database with Exaday will take place on May 24 and 25, 2023 at the
Van der Valk Airporthotel Düsseldorf.

Look forward to a Keynote by Markus Michalewicz, Vice President of Product Management at Oracle, explains the latest capabilities for managing structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in the cloud, on-premises, and in multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud configurations. Markus will present the latest innovations of the Oracle Database development team in data management and provide insights into the future of Oracle Database and its customers.

At a Q&A session with Oracle Database Product Management, Markus Michalewicz is looking forward to your questions.

"Who knows? - The DOAG Edition" promises to be a new entertainment highlight on the first evening of the conference. In this quiz, as in the well-known German television quiz show, two teams compete against each other in different question categories. Of course, the teams don't know the questions or the categories. And as in the original, the audience can participate and support the teams.

After the quiz, a "LiveCooking Buffet" in the Atrium awaits you and plenty of opportunity for personal exchange and networking.

Tickets for the event in Düsseldorf are available in our DOAG Database Shop at our attractive Early Bird Price until April 19, 2023. In our shop it is also possible to book hotel rooms in the conference hotel.

To kick off on May 24 expect the exciting keynote by Markus Michalewicz (Oracle): "Oracle Database Directions".

Database

SQL monitoring – also called real-time monitoring – has become one of the most important tools in the field of database monitoring and database tuning. In the lecture "Real-Time Monitoring - DAS Performance Monitoring Tool" by Ulrike Schwinn, the technology is presented and demonstrated – with a focus on the Linemode variant.

On the topic "Database security, but what about performance?" Stefan Oehrli shows to what extent Oracle's functions and options for comprehensive database protection are transparent and what influence they have on the performance of the databases.

In his talk "Gateway to hell – Network Basics for DBAs, DEVs and DevOps" Martin Klier wants to invite all DBAs, developers and DevOps to rediscover the basics of network technology for themselves.

“23c beta-test – ah, that’s how it works . . . ” is the title of Axel vom Stein’s exciting session on Thursday, in which he discusses how to become a beta-tester and how to proceed in the event of a hopefully successful agreement.

On Wednesday and Thursday, you will experience three sessions dealing with Oracle Optimizer.

In addition, three sessions each dealing with PostgreSQL and MySQL.

Again this year there will be an beginner-level stream with fourteen interesting presentations on Monday and Tuesday in Room Amsterdam 1. These lectures are aimed at beginners who want to familiarize themselves with the technology of the Oracle database. No specific Oracle database knowledge is required.

Engineered Systems

You can look forward to 15 presentations on the topic of Engineered Systems.

The highlights include:

"Exadata in the cloud – with more flexibility and scalability". In his presentation, Frank Schneede uses practical cases to describe the new opportunities that Exadata offers in the cloud in terms of flexibility and scalability.

"Knowledge Exchange of the Engineered Systems & Exadata Product Management Working Group" on Wednesday with Frank Schneede & Stefan Panek.
