2014 is almost over. Time for a quick review 🙂
Roy and I would like to thank you for attending at our workshops throughout the globe. We’ve delivered more workshops than ever before. Most of them in Europe and Asia, but we did visit also South and Middle America, Australia and – well – the US of course.
See here the full workshop map:
We delivered in 2014:
Thanks to everybody who came to our Upgrade/Migrate/Consolidate to Oracle Database 12c on Oct 14/15 in Dublin and Belfast. You were great audiences, I had plenty of fun, excellent deep dive discussion during the breaks and afterwards during the customer visits day on Thursday.
And very special thanks to my colleagues from Oracle Ireland, especially Mina and Kelly-Marie, but also all the others who were involved in the events and visits and made it happen so smoothly. Everything worked perfectly well except for things not in our hands (such as the massive train delay on the way back from Belfast).…
Continue reading...Wow … another OOW is over … I have returned well but a bit jetlaged on Saturday from San Fransciso. It was a pleasure to meet with so many great customers, partners, Oracle ACEs, geeks and of course colleagues from all over the world.
And I’m still surprised how little DBAs and managers are aware of the upcoming end of Premier Support for Oracle Database 11.2 and still believe in “The 2nd Release Only”. But I’ll write something about this later this or next week.
And as soon as my time allows (most likely in the 2nd half of October) …
Continue reading...Finally travel time is not over yet. There are 3 more workshops Upgrade, Migrate & Consolidate to Oracle Database 12c due to happen within the next few weeks:
– CU there – Mike…
Continue reading...My colleagues did an awesome job inviting so many people to our workshop in Hamburg next week. Therefore Marketing now moved it from the Oracle Office in HH to the following address:
PRIVATHOTEL EGGERS
Rahlstedter Straße 78
22149 Hamburg
Registration will start at 9am, workshop begin is at 9:30am – and we’ll end straight at 4:30pm to catch our flight back to Munich. So please try to stay in time 😉
Looking forward to see you all next week 🙂
– Roy & Mike…
Continue reading...The first 5 of a long workshop run are over. Thanks for coming in, your patience for hundreds of slides and plenty of new (and some old) stuff. I really enjoyed seeing you and talking to you in Luxembourg, Brussels, Vienna, Geneva and Baden in the last 3 weeks.
And credits go to my colleagues Bernd Jodocy, Johan Vanden Bossche, Erwin Sulzgruber, Roger Wullschleger, Christiane Schlüter and all the others for setting up the events so well, did the inviations, assisted before, during and after the workshops – and gave me taxi rides between airports and locations. …
Continue reading...Dear all,
unfortunately somebody has missed to add the locations to the registrations page – and if you follow the Google Maps links you may drive apparently to a McDonalds burger place instead of the correct location (at least they’ll offer free WLAN).
So please find the updated locations here – and enter the registration by clicking on the location/date directly.
Mike may be too humble to post this himself, so I will point out that the Oracle user group in Germany (DOAG) has published a video of an interview with Mike about upgrade to Oracle Database 12c. The interview is in German, so if you speak the language, please enjoy:
…
There will be a lot of travel within the next few weeks. So please keep your fingers crossed that Lufthansa pilots don’t go on strike for their ridicolous goals again. And I hope to see you in one of our upcoming workshops within the next weeks somewhere in the below cities.
Click on the date/location to the RIGHT to register, see location and agenda etc.
CU soon 🙂

Roy today presented about Upgrade Best Practices to Oracle Database 12c including moving into the world of Multitenant and Pluggable Databases at COLLABORATE 2014 in Las Vegas.. And the slides can be downloaded via this link:

It will be a tough trip as I will travel on my own with long distances in between the workshops but I’m really looking forward to my second trip to India to run 3 Upgrade, Migrate and Consolidate to Oracle Database 12c workshops in March 2014 in India.
Register as soon as possible as we have limited seat capacity:
… Continue reading...Yesterday Roy and I flew directly after the workshop in Seoul to Taipeh in Taiwan. It’s our first time in Taiwan – and the flight to Taipeh with EVA Airlines was quite surprising 😉 I didn’t took a picture in the bathroom …
“Thank You for flying with Hello Kitty!”.
-Mike…
Continue reading...We’ve had a short email exchange today with the organizers of the following round of workshops in Australia and Asia – and you should really hurry up in case you plan to attend as some locations are already overbooked.
See you there 🙂
–Mike…
Continue reading...Finally … we refreshed our entire Upgrade, Migrate & Consolidate to Oracle Database 12c slide deck. And hey, it has not even 460 slides right now 😉 We changed a lot – not only the format to 16×9 but also a lot of the content. It’s not entirely 12c – so everybody interested still in Oracle Database 11.2 will find a lot of useful information in it.
