SYM42 are currently watching a SYM42-internal webinar by @franckpachot.bsky.social on PostgreSQL & Yugabyte. It would be interesting to know if our followers would like this (and similar) webinars to be held publicly also. Of course, some things said privately to the group would be missing 😁

It’s about a month since the tectonic shift of Oracle community activity from Twitter to Bluesky occurred. In just a month SYM42 account followers have gone from 25-ish to 215, Twitter followers have dropped from about 230 to 210. To us it feels so much busier & friendlier on Bluesky too. Thoughts?

It was really good to see Oren again (and everyone else). So many bad things going on in the world, especially at the moment, so coming together to share friendship and knowledge is more important than ever.

Our feed on Twitter is very quiet now, even with #UKOUG2024 underway. Here in the sky it's maybe 8-10 times busier. Further, most of what's on there is duplicated here. Add in the friendlier feel, huge reduction in bots & accounts simply following hundred or thousands of random people, much better.

On the way home from #DOAG2024 (and a short visit to friends near Munich). Once more, the conference was an amazing event with good presentations, interesting discussions and many chats with colleagues, customers, community members and friends.

Oren is always a brilliant speaker and a lovely person to chat to. Frankly, we are amazed he has never done EBR at UKOUG, but he does talk about a lot of other things.

After running a day, comparing execution times of scheduler jobs before and after, almost all have halved or quartered execution time. The "baseline" (outside of peaks) average active sessions has dropped from roughly 1 to roughly 0.33. Peaks are much reduced. Why haven't we done this before? 😁

Checking SYM42 feeds: Twitter - 2 notifications, 2 mins Bluesky - 12 notifications, 12 mins and far more interesting I expect Bluesky to calm down as we get used "seeing each other" again (plus DOAG finishing) but heck, the change is so welcome It's great to have a re-invigorated online community

RoCE has enabled a much faster turn around direct memory writes from RDBMS to the cell server than we could do with Infiniband. The person to ask is Jia Shi.

I have a new answer for what's the easiest way to get started with Oracle or SQL, using the latest technology.. Oracle LiveSQL www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2024...

thatjeffsmith.com

Oracle LiveSQL, free SQL/DB (23ai!), no sign-up required

It's that much easier to get started learning SQL and Oracle Database with our new and improved Oracle LiveSQL platform! Now running 23ai!
