🚀 7 Days to Go | Sangam AI Yatra 2026 Only one week to go. Don't miss out! 🔗 Register: lnkd.in/eGiU-qQf Here's one session you won't want to miss. 🎯 Session Spotlight What if you could ask your Oracle Database a question in plain English—and get meaningful answers without writing SQL? 💡 Why This Session Matters Generative AI is changing how we interact with enterprise data. Tasks that once required SQL expertise are becoming accessible through natural language. But connecting AI securely to enterprise databases requires more than simply pointing an LLM at your data. This session demonstrates how to connect Claude Desktop directly to Oracle Database using SQLcl and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), creating a secure bridge between AI and enterprise data. You'll see how an LLM can understand schema metadata, navigate relationships between database objects, and generate meaningful insights through natural language conversations—all while following a practical architecture that DBAs can understand and implement. 🎯 What You'll Learn ✅ Why MCP is emerging as a powerful standard for AI-to-database connectivity ✅ How to configure SQLcl as a gateway between Oracle Database and desktop AI tools ✅ How LLMs can understand schemas and generate SQL using database metadata ✅ Best practices for securely connecting AI assistants to enterprise data 👤 About the Speaker Biju Thomas is an Oracle ACE Director, Microsoft Azure MVP, author, international speaker, and Senior Vice President of Digital Transformation at Data Intensity.

🚀 Session Spotlight | Sangam AI Yatra 2026 🔗 Register Now: aioug.org/sangam26 What happens when Oracle's mission-critical data meets Microsoft's AI ecosystem? 💡 Why This Session Matters Many enterprises already rely on Oracle to run their most critical business systems and Microsoft Azure to power cloud and AI initiatives. The next evolution is not choosing between the two—it's enabling them to work together. This session explores how Agentic AI can operate across Oracle and Microsoft environments using Azure's IQ stack and Oracle Database AI capabilities. You'll learn how enterprise knowledge, vector search, semantic models, and AI agents can be combined to create systems that reason, orchestrate workflows, and take action across cloud boundaries. More importantly, you'll get a practical view of what is production-ready today versus what is still emerging. 🎯 What You'll Learn ✅ How Fabric IQ, Foundry IQ, and Work IQ provide enterprise context for AI agents ✅ How Oracle Database AI Vector Search integrates with Azure AI Foundry ✅ Security, identity, governance, and architectural patterns for cross-cloud AI agents 👤 About the Speakers Kalyan Ram Kaki is a Group Product Manager at Microsoft USA and a founding member of the Oracle Database@Azure product team, bringing more than 20 years of experience in cloud platforms and large-scale enterprise transformation.

🚀 Session Spotlight | Sangam AI Yatra 2026 🔗 Register Now: aioug.org/sangam26 Think AI means you no longer need to learn SQL? Connor McDonald would strongly disagree. 💡 Why This Session Matters With modern AI tools capable of generating SQL from plain English, it's tempting to believe that SQL expertise is becoming less important. The reality is exactly the opposite. AI can generate SQL in seconds. But it can't always tell you whether that SQL is correct, scalable, secure, or efficient. As AI becomes an everyday development tool, strong SQL skills become even more valuable. Understanding how Oracle processes queries, how execution plans work, and how to recognize inefficient SQL is what separates someone who uses AI from someone who masters it. In this session, Connor McDonald explains why SQL remains one of the most important skills for developers and DBAs in the AI era, while sharing practical SQL techniques that many experienced professionals still overlook. 🎯 What You'll Learn ✅ Why SQL expertise matters more—not less—in the age of AI ✅ How to evaluate, optimize, and safely use AI-generated SQL ✅ Practical SQL techniques that improve performance and readability ✅ Tips and features you may not know, even if you've been writing SQL for years 👤 About the Speaker Connor McDonald is a Database Architect at Oracle and one of the most respected educators in the Oracle community. A regular contributor to Ask TOM, Stack Overflow, blogs, YouTube, and conferences around the world, Connor has spent decades helping developers and DBAs become better at working with Oracle Database. 🎟️ View Session Details: aioug.org/sangam26/session?i… ⏳ AI can help you write SQL.

Don't miss out! 🔗 Register: aioug.org/sangam26 Here's one session you won't want to miss. 🎯 Session Spotlight Exploring the Hypergraph Optimizer in MySQL 9.7 The optimizer is the brain of the database. In MySQL 9.7 LTS, that brain has been redesigned. 💡 Why This Session Matters One of the most significant architectural changes in MySQL 9.7 LTS is the introduction of the Hypergraph Optimizer—a next-generation query optimization engine built to produce better execution plans for increasingly complex SQL workloads. Instead of relying solely on the traditional greedy optimization approach, the Hypergraph Optimizer explores a much broader search space, enabling better join ordering and more efficient execution strategies for complex queries. This session offers a DBA-focused deep dive into how the Hypergraph Optimizer works, why it was introduced, which workloads benefit the most, and what you need to know before enabling it in production. If you're responsible for MySQL performance, this is one session you won't want to miss. 🎯 What You'll Learn ✅ Why MySQL introduced the Hypergraph Optimizer and how it differs from the legacy optimizer ✅ How its search algorithm generates better execution plans for complex SQL workloads ✅ Which query patterns benefit the most from the new optimizer ✅ How to enable the Hypergraph Optimizer, interpret EXPLAIN plans, and understand expected bailout scenarios 👤 About the Speaker Chaithra M G is a Consulting Member Technical Staff at Oracle and an active contributor to the MySQL community.

Don't miss out! 🔗 Register Now: aioug.org/sangam26 What if your users could simply have a conversation with their data instead of navigating dashboards and reports? 💡 Why This Session Matters Many organizations have invested heavily in analytics platforms, dashboards, and reporting tools. The next evolution is making those insights accessible through natural conversation. This session showcases a fascinating prototype that combines Oracle AI Data Platform (AIDP), Oracle Analytics Cloud, AI Agents, and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to create a new analytics experience. Rather than simply retrieving data, AI Agents help guide the conversation, provide context, and improve the quality of interactions. Combined with domain-specific knowledge and Oracle Analytics Cloud, users can move from asking questions to uncovering meaningful business insights through natural language. And best of all, you'll see the complete architecture in action through a live demonstration. 🎯 What You'll Learn ✅ How Oracle AI Data Platform serves as the foundation for AI-driven analytics ✅ How AI Agents improve and govern conversational experiences ✅ A live end-to-end demonstration of a modern analytics architecture powered by AI and RAG 👤 About the Speaker Ambili Thottathil is a Principal Consultant in Analytics at Rittman Mead, a Pythian Company, and an Oracle ACE Director.

Don't miss out! 🔗 Register: aioug.org/sangam26 Here's one session you won't want to miss. 🎯 Session Spotlight Building AI applications is one challenge. Running them reliably on Kubernetes at enterprise scale is another. 💡 Why This Session Matters Many organizations are experimenting with Generative AI, but moving from proof of concept to production often introduces complexity across databases, AI services, Kubernetes platforms, and application deployment pipelines. Oracle Database Operator helps solve this challenge by bringing Oracle AI Database into a Kubernetes-native operating model. Combined with Oracle Private AI Services Controller, organizations can build, deploy, and manage AI-powered applications using a consistent, declarative, and automated approach. The result is a unified cloud-native platform where databases, AI services, vector search, machine learning, and applications work together seamlessly at enterprise scale.
