Two months ago I was invited by my friend, an Oracle ACE Director – Francisco Munoz Alvarez to present at APAC OTN Tour this year. My papers were accepted for Thailand Oracle User Group (OUGTH) meeting. I was very excited as it was my first time to present at OUGTH

At Bangkok airport, I was met by my Azerbaijani friend, Ibrahim Jabbari, who helped me a lot when I was at Bangkok.

At the next day, I got up early, have a wonderful breakfast at the hotel and went to the Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn for the conference where I was met warmly by OUGTH staff. After a while Francisco and Mike Dietrich arrived.

It was my pleasure to meet Francisco in person  and present with him in the same conference. He has a very deep knowledge of Oracle and he’s doing a great job for the Oracle community. Francisco talked about Database Security and showed some magics with Oracle in real life scenario

Mike, who works Upgrade Consultant for Oracle, presented three sessions in this conference. Two of them were related with Database upgrade, the last one was related with Data Pump which was very interesting. I must say that I haven’t seen such guy who has very strong knowledge of Oracle Upgrade issues in my whole DBA career.

Then I talked about RMAN 11g new features and showed some pre-created video tutorials

Then Thai DBA, Tanakorn talked about Constraints in Thai language, although I didn’t understand anything :), the presentation was prepared good

At the end, we took some photos together with OUGTH staff. You can find some of pictures from the following link:

I would like to thank to OTN and OUGTH for organizing this event and wish to present at Bangkok again next year

Here’re some pictures I’ve taken at conference and at Bangkok
