Oracle AI World 2026 is just around the corner, and I’m excited to be part of a full day of hands-on learning before the main conference begins.
Together with Mike Dietrich, Daniel Overby Hansen, and Rodrigo Jorge, We’ll be teaching:
Upgrade, Migration, and Patching to Oracle AI Database 26ai: Masterclass [OUT1040]
This eight-hour workshop is designed for database professionals who want practical guidance—not marketing slides—on preparing for Oracle AI Database 26ai.
We’ll cover topics including:
- Planning and preparing for database upgrades
- The latest enhancements in AutoUpgrade
- Migration and consolidation strategies
- Patching and security considerations
- Managing multitenant environments
- Using Data Pump more effectively
- Migration to Oracle Autonomous Database
- New features and capabilities for DBAs in Oracle AI Database 26ai
The day will combine real-world examples, technical discussions, and hands-on exercises. Bring your laptop, your questions, and the challenges you are currently facing in your database environments.
