In this talk we will give rare insights into how Oracle Database Development works.

Have you ever asked yourself how “Development” at Oracle , 19cgeworks? And why regression test take hours and not only minutes?

Or why Support tells you, “it will be fixed in 23c” even though there is no 23c available yet?

It’s pure magic – and we will give some insights!

“Have you every heard from Oracle Support “”It will be fixed in 21c or 23c””? And wondered if you should upgrade now, and how you should upgrade when the release is not there yet?

In this talk we will give rare insights into how Oracle Database Development works.

We will explain why it takes more than a few minutes to complete a regression test suite, why you don’t get one-off patches on Windows – and why you need a backport to have “”this”” issue fixed on 19.12.0.

So relax and lean back. We know that everybody has a story to tell. Our focus will be to shed some light on the black box “”Oracle Database Development”” to get you a better understanding why things work as they work – and why miracles happen not every day but sometimes take longer.”
