I have been working in core database internals for 35 years and at Oracle for 12 years. I have worked on the implementations of tables scans, Hybrid Columnar Compression, Exadata Offload, Big Data SQL, and I am part of the In-Memory team. My current role is Software Architect for Exadata (and Big Data SQL) Smart Scan. Before Oracle I was the architect for Sybase IQ Query Engine - the world’s first commercial columnar database and was the first chairman of the TPC-H subcommittee.
POUG is not only the official Oracle community – first of all it is the base of very active members, who are engaged in the group development both during the meetings and the preparations to them. Our message gets to the 400 people connected with databases – from the developers to the administrators and from the begginers to the experts with years of experience.
We would like to invite you to be a part of our event – it is a chance to show your brand during and before the meeting.
