🚀 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 think that SQL expertise is becoming less important. The reality is exactly the opposite. AI can generate SQL. But it can't always tell you whether the SQL is efficient, scalable, correct, or potentially dangerous. As AI becomes a daily tool for developers, analysts, and DBAs, the value of strong SQL skills increases. The better your understanding of SQL, the better you can validate, optimize, troubleshoot, and improve what AI produces. In this session, Connor McDonald explores why SQL remains one of the most valuable skills in technology and shares practical SQL techniques that many professionals may not know, regardless of how many years they've worked with databases. 🎯 What You'll Learn ✅ Why SQL expertise is becoming more valuable in the age of AI ✅ How to evaluate and improve AI-generated SQL ✅ SQL techniques and capabilities that many developers overlook ✅ Practical ways to write better, faster, and more maintainable SQL ✅ How AI and SQL expertise complement each other rather than compete 👤 About the Speaker Connor McDonald @connor_mc_d 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 worldwide, Connor is known for making complex database topics approachable, practical, and entertaining. 🎟️ View Session Details: aioug.org/sangam26/session?i… ⏳ AI may generate SQL.

🚀 Session Spotlight | Sangam AI Yatra 2026 🔗 Register Now: aioug.org/sangam26 AI is changing databases. But when production slows down, DBAs still need answers. 💡 Why This Session Matters Oracle Database 26ai introduces a wave of new features, but not every feature matters when you're troubleshooting a production issue at 2 AM. This session focuses on what performance DBAs actually need to know. We'll look at practical performance enhancements in Oracle Database 26ai, including optimizer improvements, SQL Plan Management enhancements, and how AI-related features such as Vector Search and vector indexes impact database performance. More importantly, we'll discuss how AI is changing the DBA toolkit while reinforcing why foundational skills around AWR, ASH, SQL Monitoring, execution plans, and performance diagnostics remain as important as ever. If your role involves performance tuning, troubleshooting, or database optimization, this session is designed to help you separate the genuinely useful innovations from the marketing noise. 🎯 What You'll Learn ✅ SQL Plan Management and optimizer enhancements in Oracle Database 26ai ✅ Performance implications of AI Vector Search, vector indexing, and hybrid workloads ✅ How AI is reshaping the performance DBA's toolkit ✅ Where automation helps—and where traditional DBA expertise remains irreplaceable ✅ Practical guidance for diagnosing and tuning modern Oracle Database workloads 👤 About the Speaker Aishwarya Kala @aishwaryakala13 is a Principal Consultant at Pythian with more than 17 years of experience across Oracle and other database technologies.
