But what a great conference it was for those interested in the Oracle Database. We saw the introduction of Oracle Database 20c and of course the continuing evolution of the Oracle Autonomous Database with details on new deployment option (Dedicated) and new flavors (Document Store).
If you weren’t able to make it to OOW in person, don’t panic as a lot of the session presentations are now available for download in the OOW session catalog. You can download the slides by clicking the down arrow on the right-hand side of each session title as shown below.
Today was the first day of Oracle Open World and during Larry Ellison’s afternoon keynote he made a number of extremely exciting announcements around Oracle Autonomous Database including the launch of an Always Free Tier for Developers and students in the Oracle Cloud. Larry said, “as long as you use the service, it will be there, free forever.”
So what’s included?
Along with compute and storage services, you also get access to 2 Autonomous Database with 20GB of storage each absolutely free. So you can try out both an Autonomous Data Warehouse and an Autonomous Transaction Processing system.
With less than a week to go until Oracle Open World kicks off, I thought I would share with you what you can expect.
Of course the whole Database team will be there and you will have multiple opportunities to meet up with us, in one of our technical sessions, our hands-on-labs or at the Oracle demogrounds.
Below are just some of the session I thought might be interesting to help get you started:
Oracle Open World this year was a crazy busy week catching up with customers, Oracle Aces, Development Champions and partners as we all crammed into the Moscone center to hear the very latest on Oracle Technologies.
For the database, this year’s conferences saw the introduction of Oracle Database 19c and of course the continuing evolution of the Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud Services.
If you weren’t able to make it to OOW in person, don’t panic as a lot of the session presentations are now available for download in the OOW session catalog.
If you missed Larry Ellison’s keynote yesterday the short video below will service as a good recap!

We look forward to checking out your sessions on the Oracle Database and how it has changed the way you do business!
At OpenWorld, Larry Ellison announced an Autonomous Database cloud (service), which is self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing.
Although there was a lot of excitement surrounding the announcement, there were also a lot of questions.
Is Oracle Database 18c the Autonomous Database?
How does it work exactly?
When and where will it become available?
How will it impact the role of the DBA?
So, I thought it would be a good idea to try and answer these questions and concerns.
Most of the answers can be found in a series of videos we shared in early November or in the Oracle Autonomous Database Strategy white paper. But before I introduce the videos let me address the first question, “Is Oracle Database 18c the Autonomous Database?”
The simple answer is NO. The Autonomous Database is a Cloud service running on top of Oracle Database 18c along with additional services to provide performance and availability SLAs. They are definitely not the same thing. Hopefully the formula below makes this clear.
Now that we have cleared that up, let’s move on to the videos I mentioned.
In the first video, Juan Loaiza gives you a peek behind the curtain of the Autonomous Database. He explains how it delivers full end-to-end automation for mission-critical workloads, including automation in provisioning, patching, securing, monitoring, optimizing, and more.
In the second video, Cetin Özbütün provides an overview of the first Autonomous Database service to become available later this year, the Autonomous Data Warehouse. This service is extremely easy to use as you simply load data and begin running queries. Oracle will take care of everything else for you.
In the third video, George Lumpkin shares more details on the features of the Autonomous Data Warehouse Cloud and explains how customers can simply load their data and start running queries immediately.
In the fourth video, Vipin Samar outlines how the Oracle’s Autonomous Data Warehouse Cloud integrates automation to help deliver a self-securing data management platform.
And finally yours truly explains which aspect of the DBA role will be done automatically (mundane custodial tasks), allowing the DBAs to spend more time innovating and helping the business to better leverage their data.
As we get closer the official launch of new services we will share more information. So stay tuned!
Thanks to all the customers, Oracle Aces, Development Champions and partners that made this year’s Open World an amazing event!
The conference was four, jam-packed days of great technical sessions and interesting discussions especially around the new Autonomous Database.
I was lucky enough to be present three sessions at this year’s event with two great co-speakers @dominic_giles and @GeraldVenzl. We’ve uploaded all of the slides, which are now publicly available on the Oracle Open World session catalog.
Simply click on the download arrow on the right hand side of each catalog entry to get a copy of the slides.
to meet up with us, in one of our technical sessions, our hands-on-labs or at the Oracle demogrounds.
Of course the Autonomous Database team will be there and you will have multiple opportunities to meet up with us, in one of our technical sessions, our hands-on-labs or at the Oracle demogrounds.
