On today’s episode of the Datascape Podcast we are going to talk about the Oracle Database. With the hype around cloud and cloud first initiatives, automation, DevOps, and very specialized cloud-based databases, I wondered what was going on with one of the datascape’s old faithful technologies, Oracle Database.
Joining us is Simon Pane, who is an Oracle consultant and expert. Simon is very much immersed in the community and truly has his feet on the ground. He’s been working in the Oracle DBA space as a consultant for almost his entire career, with a focus around Oracle’s core database technologies. Simon often speaks at various conferences around North America and Europe. He was recently inducted as a board member to Independent Oracle User Group (IOUG), one of the main Oracle user groups.
