After years of hard work, dedication, and unwavering determination, I find myself at the threshold of a new and exciting chapter in my career: starting at Oracle, the company I've always dreamt of being a part of. Join me on this journey as I share my thoughts, experiences, and the incredible opportunity that has come my way.</span></p><pre class="a-b-r-La" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-wrap: wrap; user-select: text;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Oracle Corporation, a global leader in cloud computing and database technology, has been a beacon of innovation and excellence in the tech industry for decades. From the early days of Larry Ellison's vision to its current status as a tech giant, Oracle has consistently pushed the boundaries of what's possible in the world of technology. For me, Oracle represented not just a company but a place where dreams could become a reality.
Getting to Oracle wasn't a walk in the park. Like many others, I faced my fair share of challenges and setbacks. The tech industry is fiercely competitive, and Oracle's standards are as high as its skyscraper headquarters. I had to put in countless hours of study, gain valuable experience, and network tirelessly to even get my foot in the door. The journey was long, but it was worth every moment.
One sunny morning, while sipping coffee and scrolling through my emails, a message popped up in my inbox that changed my life forever: "Congratulations! You've been selected to join Oracle." The feeling of elation and disbelief that washed over me was indescribable. It was the call I had been waiting for, the culmination of all my hard work and dedication.
Oracle's culture is unique and deeply rooted in its commitment to excellence. The emphasis on teamwork, continuous learning, and pushing the boundaries of technology resonates with me. I found myself surrounded by mentors and colleagues who were not only experts in their fields but also genuinely passionate about what they do.
I will join one of the best and most knowledgeable teams at Oracle, responsible for Oracle Database Upgrades and Migrations. It will take me a while to be at the same level as the rest of the team, but I will work hard on it :)
Starting at Oracle has been nothing short of a dream come true. It's a testament to the power of perseverance, dedication, and God's grace. I look forward to the exciting challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. If you're dreaming of joining your own "company of dreams," remember that with hard work and determination, dreams can indeed become reality.</span></pre><pre class="a-b-r-La" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-wrap: wrap; user-select: text;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></pre><pre class="a-b-r-La" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-wrap: wrap; user-select: text;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTbzAlXCpjZg2LZz-7f4fL_xrYVR0q8-0EC0Nrztldo_Kr6yv60LSK0bZkXupEtw2C80FH5UZkhajLrqXB299LskvP0cmhTdgeuUHc_cbFNVX-gfPHF1wlMr2d_lKNA2x9aPRIJii3p_oMfYoObnywC0z2duNYBXOjmjxV-QvikDqQTaYncOlHDkwLZmM/s282/Screenshot%202023-11-30%20at%2010.47.33%E2%80%AFAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="72" data-original-width="282" height="72" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTbzAlXCpjZg2LZz-7f4fL_xrYVR0q8-0EC0Nrztldo_Kr6yv60LSK0bZkXupEtw2C80FH5UZkhajLrqXB299LskvP0cmhTdgeuUHc_cbFNVX-gfPHF1wlMr2d_lKNA2x9aPRIJii3p_oMfYoObnywC0z2duNYBXOjmjxV-QvikDqQTaYncOlHDkwLZmM/s1600/Screenshot%202023-11-30%20at%2010.47.33%E2%80%AFAM.png" width="282" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></pre>Alex Zaballahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04777090008240423941noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287342783755862225.post-21774036996451480262023-11-22T19:32:00.000-03:002023-11-22T19:32:02.691-03:00That's a wrap -

You have the flexibility to detach a refreshable clone from its source, enabling you to carry out Data Manipulation Language (DML) tasks or perform calculations, in addition to querying data. This grants you the capability to execute DML and implement changes even when the database is disconnected. Once your testing is complete, you can re-establish the connection to the source database, causing the clone to revert to its state at the time of disconnection.</div><div><br /></div><div>Please note that the option to reconnect is available for a limited period of 24 hours following the disconnection. After this timeframe, the clone becomes permanently separated from the source database, and reconnection becomes unfeasible.</div><p>Source: <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/autonomous-database/serverless/">https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/autonomous-database/serverless/</a></p><p>Best</p><p>Alex Zaballa</p><p><br /></p>Alex Zaballahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04777090008240423941noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6287342783755862225.post-29440938562455928122023-10-04T15:14:00.003-03:002023-10-05T19:20:14.244-03:00How to study for 1Z0-770 - Oracle APEX Cloud Developer Professional<p>Hi everyone,</p><div><div>I decided to take all the 2023 OCI exams to check what changed and guide people in taking these certifications.</div><div><p style="margin: 0px;">Well, not all exams.
