During ConTech2021 Connor will present The Best Feature in the Oracle Database
| Abstract: Garbage-In-Garbage-Out as the old saying goes. No matter how technically sophisticated your application stack is; if it is based on flawed or incorrect assumptions about how the database works you’re in trouble. If you don’t understand Oracle’s concurrency model; you’re doomed before you even start. |
| Description: Well done! You’ve come up with the killer idea for 2021. You’ve got the best UI design anyone has ever seen! Your modern application ticks all the boxes ? Serverless; Functions; Lambdas; Kubernetes; Microservices; API-based; the list goes on. It runs on every OS and every type of device. But unfortunately; all of this counts for absolutely NOTHING if you do not understand the fundamental read consistency model of the Oracle database. And often this is totally hidden from view under an ORM. This session will peel back the covers to explain how the database processes your queries and how to avoid corrupted data in your applications. |
