Oracle Database@Azure -- big announcement made by Microsoft and Oracle yesterday; read more about what this means here medium.com/@paul.bullen/o… #oracle #licensing #azure Version 1

Now that Oracle Database is released on aarch64, if you think about running on Amazon Web Services Graviton 2, look at the pricing: that's 1 processor license per vCPU (vs. one per 2 vCPU on hyperthreaded x86-64).
The 'core factor' makes it x4 more expensive than on Oracle Cloud's Arm

Imagine! It‘s the 10th #anniversary of Oracle #multitenant !

In 19c you get up to three PDBs per CDB without the need for the Multitenant database option license.

In 21c and higher, the Multitenant Architecture is mandatory for OracleDatabase.

We're popping up this Saturday afternoon at Heriot Watt campus, giving free advice and guidance to help you fix your broken items, as part of HW Student Union Sustainability Week! 12pm-3pm. For more info: linktr.ee/repaircafeedin… #repaircafe

We thoroughly enjoyed ‘Art in the Park’ and discussing what positive changes local residents want to see if their communities. Thanks so much to Version 1 who were kind enough to help us with some funding towards preparing for the event. ❤️❤️

Thank you for writing this-- I've tried to say this many times to customers considering 'virtual patching' 'solutions'. I'd previously seen the Pete Finnigan blog ; it is great to have another voice saying the same!

This is amazing; proves keeping things simple and optimised can transform an organisation.

Ran into another customer upgrading Oracle Database to 12.2 from 11g...DO NOT DO THAT.

Go all the way up to 19c.

Mike Dietrich has a very good reason why =>

A great way to start the day, lots of happy smiling faces 😀😀😀 ahead of what can be a long gruelling day at school or work for the parents. Quality time together establishing good life habits. Big thanks to all the children, parents, volunteers & Juniper Green Primary for delivering.

Looking forward to this!

Huge congrats to our CEO Tom O’Connor who was named Person of the Year at the 2022 Tech Excellence Awards last night🎉 #techex22
