The inventor of relational theory, Dr. Edgar Codd, had the
last word on NoSQL more than thirty years ago when he said “Only if the
performance requirements are extremely severe should buyers rule out present
relational DBMS products.” The bottom line is that Oracle professionals need to
learn about NoSQL since, as admitted by Oracle Corporation, relational database
management systems have some catching up to do in certain specialized use-cases
such as event processing. Our conference director has
therefore created a fabulous agenda
combining the best of SQL and NoSQL (with hands-on labs and cherries on top).
The conference is free for members and their guests, first-time NoCOUG
conference attendees, PayPal employees and students. Register at
