Rolling deployments have become standard for application updates, but database schema changes remain a major challenge. Developers often resort to workarounds that compromise data quality or require intricate coding solutions.

What if there was a better way? Oracle Edition-Based Redefinition (EBR)—combined with Online Table Reorganization—can seamlessly evolve database schemas without downtime.

In this session, we'll start with the fundamentals of EBR before diving into a real-world case study with ČSOB, a major financial institution from the Czech Republic. You'll hear firsthand how they leveraged EBR to implement zero-downtime schema changes, ensuring business continuity while lowering deployment risks. We'll also demonstrate a live deployment to showcase EBR in action.
