it’s been a couple of months since my session at the oug_scot and I feel it’s enough time to write about it…
First of all – it was awesome!
I have never been to a user conference other than the ilOUG in Israel. I went to the Oracle Open World couple of years ago (and I’m not going this year 🙁 ) but it was nothing alike…

Oded Raz, my colleague and friend is on right now, talking about security in the cloud in the Scotland OUG conference.
Since the room is full, I had to leave to make some more space to the participants…
In the mean time, I was taking a walk around this nice complex and found the visitor demo room for hardware and engineered systems. I took some pictures:

Just a quick note – I was quite busy in the last few days – first there was the Israeli ilOUG convention (it’s still on) but I had to leave early since today I’m speaking at Scotland!
So today I’m speaking at 15:25 – my session is about “Adding Real Time Reporting to Your Database: Oracle In Memory Option”. This is a great session I gave last year in ilOUG SIG group and I added the PoC part we did at Clarizen. I will upload the presentation later today and I will be available to questions on that if you’ve got any.
My seconds session is a joint session with ACE Director Oded Raz – “SQLcl: The Next Generation of SQL*Plus?”. I wrote about SQLcl just a few weeks ago and now we’re presenting it. I will upload the presentation and the live demo document as well.
I hope everything will go okay today – I was told the room we are speaking at is not very big (and that’s a good thing for me). I will upload some pictures later and if you want to read more about my adventures in lovely Scotland on Twitter… 🙂
Once, a very long time ago, I told an old joke about SQL and it was a huge success (not really).
This week I heard a joke that is slightly related to that joke and it made me giggle for a couple of minutes.
Those who know me, knows that I really like to hear jokes but I’m really terrible at telling them – but let’s go for it anyway.

Welcome to my new (re-new) blog.
This blog was started 4 years ago in Hebrew and on the wordpress.com platform where it was simply called “The Zohar Elkayam blog”. In those last 4 years I’ve written dozens of articles which I felt will be useful to my forgetful me and to my readers who came along for the ride.
Lately I realized that wordpress.com has its limitations and I felt that I really need to move on to a new hosting platform. I figured out that by writing in only one language (Hebrew), I am missing most of my potential audience so I created this new bi-lingual blog, on a self-hosted platform with a new interface.
My goal is to have most of my old articles translated and connected to each other so people could read them in the language they prefer. I will also publish my new articles in both English and Hebrew at the same time.
I will work on translating most of my old posts (the ones that are still relevant) in the near future.
Feel free to reach out and contact me – if you have any questions or comments.
Have a great day!
Zohar
