Two weeks from today I'll be talkinig about SQL Macros at #HrOUG2025 in Rovinj, Croatia. That alone should be enough to attend 😁 But apart from that there are loads of other speakers and since it's the 30th (!!!) time, I expect a lot of celebration as well. There may still be time to get a ticket!

Got mine written and scheduled. How about you? #JoelKallmanDay

In all the #Oracle23ai New-Feature-stories, how did this one got lost ?? The information in the new V$SQL_HISTORY is a Hidden Gem! Can we give this thing a bit more attention? Great Potential as a "Problem Fixer" for Devs, Ops, and DBA's... simpleoracledba.blogspot.com/2025/09/orac...

Back home after #POUG2025 Many good discussions, high-quality presentations - and some beers and whiskies 😊 I need some time to sort all these impressions - and I already have an idea for a new session on #POUG2026

Doing my best to treat post-conference blues. #POUG2025 was as usual fantastic. Learned a lot and met great people. Thanks to @luizafrompoland.bsky.social, @ora600pl.bsky.social and the rest of the team for a great conference.

And it’s over, sadly. #poug2025 ended yesterday, and it was a great 10th anniversary event very well organised by the @pougorg.bsky.social team. Well done @luizafrompoland.bsky.social and @ora600pl.bsky.social Looking forward to #poug2026, no idea where it will be, but I will be there.

Nice good-mood-inducing morning in Poznan. Just attended good-mood-inducing #POUG2025 in Poznan. Life is good. Thanks @luizafrompoland.bsky.social Thanks @ora600pl.bsky.social Thanks @pougorg.bsky.social You’re the best! You make the best events! See you all next year.
