This past year I joined up on the board of the Northern California Users Group (NoCOUG) and am excited to help the NoCOUG team bring great conferenes to the Bay Area.

Our new conference director Ben Prusinski has scheduled a whole slew of NoSQL and Big Data presentations at Conference 105 on February 21. Has NoCOUG abandoned SQL? You can bet your bottom dollar it hasn’t! In fact, it was Oracle’s own idea to have so many NoSQL and Big Data presentations at Conference 105. Dave Rubin, Director of NoSQL Database Development at Oracle will explain why NoSQL Database and Oracle Database are the perfect match. They are not mortal enemies. They complete and complement each other. They shine in different use cases.

But why Big Data? Can’t Oracle Database handle gynormous amounts of data? Sure it can but, once again, it’s all about using the right tool for the job. Hadoop and Oracle are not mortal enemies. They complete and complement each other. They shine in different use cases.

If you’re a die-hard relational purist and refuse to look NoSQL and Big Data in the eye then have no fear for Ben has scheduled plenty of traditional sessions for Oracle developers as well as database administrators.

We’re looking forward to another awesome NoCOUG conference with something for everybody.
