In the high energy world of modern IT, it has become commonplace to float between companies on a regular cadence, which can result in diluting your skillset across an ever broadening landscape. But occasionally you'll have the good fortune to encounter someone who has expanded their breadth of skills almost entirely within a single organisation, giving them a incredibly in-depth knowledge of the product, a strong mentoring focus, and a unique perspective on how Oracle has evolved over the years.

Dominic Giles has 30+ years of experience with Oracle, and that makes him the perfect guest to talk about the Oracle Database. In this episode, Dom and I talk about our favorite releases, how features get chosen for new releases, and how to best tackle patching your systems to keep them secure and up to date.
