AI Agents Are Knocking on Your Oracle Database: Should You Answer?
If your first reaction to the idea of AI agents interacting with your Oracle database is skepticism, you're not alone. This session is designed for database administrators, developers and application administrators who want a practical understanding of the technology before adopting it.
Oracle now offers multiple approaches for connecting AI agents to Oracle databases: the MCP Server built into SQLcl or OCI and the Oracle AI Agent Platform. Through live demonstrations, we will examine how each approach works, what resources AI agents can access, how security and auditing are implemented, and where the real risks and opportunities exist.
Attendees will leave with a practical framework for evaluating whether, when and how AI agents should interact with their Oracle databases. They will gain the knowledge needed to make informed decisions based on their organization's requirements, security posture and operational goals.
The No-Ops Database: Accelerating Rapid App Dev and Security on Azure with Oracle AI Database 26ai
In the race to deliver intelligent applications, developers shouldn't be slowed down by database administration or security patching. Oracle AI Database 26ai brings "No-Ops" data management natively to Microsoft Azure, allowing developers to focus entirely on code rather than infrastructure.
This session explores how Azure developers can leverage the fully automated lifecycle of the AI Database 26ai—from self-tuning and auto-scaling to "always-on" security and autonomous patching. We will dive into how these capabilities enable rapid application development by removing the friction of manual DBA tasks. We will also demonstrate seamless integrations with Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Fabric, and Azure DevOps, showing how 26ai’s converged architecture simplifies data modeling and ensures your Azure-hosted applications are secure, resilient, and ready to scale from day one.
Building Azure AI Applications with Oracle AI Database 26ai
Modern AI applications need more than models—they need databases designed for AI workloads. In this session, Azure developers will learn how Oracle Autonomous AI Database 26ai can be used alongside Microsoft Azure to build intelligent, production-ready applications.
We’ll focus on AI-centric capabilities such as vector search, hybrid relational and JSON data access, and autonomous operations that remove day-to-day database management. You’ll see how Azure-hosted applications and AI services can interact with Oracle AI Database 26ai using familiar APIs and developer workflows, enabling scalable AI solutions without sacrificing data reliability or performance.
This session is ideal for developers and architects building AI-powered applications who want an AI-ready data foundation that integrates cleanly with Azure services.
Beyond Uptime: Architecting Resilient Oracle E-Business Suite Environments on OCI
This session moves beyond basic availability to explore how to architect a truly resilient Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) environment on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). We will provide a deep dive into the strategic High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) solutions that enable you to meet and exceed stringent Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) requirements. A key focus will be a detailed analysis of the Full Stack Disaster Recovery (FSDR) service, demonstrating its transformative role in automating and orchestrating comprehensive DR for your entire EBS stack. We will also cover the latest DR enhancements from the newest Cloud Manager release and present proven, resilient reference architectures for both ExaCS and DBCS, all optimized for seamless integration with FSDR. This is a must-attend session for anyone looking to fortify their business continuity strategy and ensure their critical EBS applications are protected against any eventuality.
Beyond Borders: Maximizing Your Multicloud Strategy with Oracle Database
The future of cloud is multicloud, and Oracle is at the forefront. This session will explore the dynamic landscape of Oracle's multicloud database solutions, with a dive into Database@Azure, Database@GCP, and Database@AWS. We'll break down the "why" and "how" behind these services, showing how they provide a compelling way for organizations to run mission-critical applications on their cloud of choice. We'll cover key implementation steps, best practices for seamless integration, and discuss how to navigate potential hurdles. This session will also provide practical strategies for ensuring low-latency connectivity and overcoming regional service limitations, ensuring you can build a truly resilient and high-performing multicloud environment.
