UC2006 sessions: MySQL for Oracle Developers/DBAs

You may have spotted these items in our program:

I categorized them under the “migration” topic so people spot them, but they’re really not about migration. You see, many companies actually use Oracle as well as MySQL. So the point is that they exist side by side.

So, the database people in these companies are very experienced Oracle developers and DBAs, and there’s nothing one needs to teach them about the basics. But they often also get to deal with MySQL in this new environment I described above, and of course there are differences – both for developers and DBAs. So THAT is what these talks are about.

Both speakers have strong Oracle backgrounds, Ronald actually worked for Oracle. He is now an independent contractor in Brisbane, Australia – very active at the Brisbane MySQL Users Group. And Mark now works as a MySQL support engineer, based in the UK.

If you use MySQL but have an Oracle background, these talks may provide you with the “alternate” perspective you’ve been looking for!
