I saw Dimitri's post on SQL Assertions today and it piqued my curiosity. Putting more business rules closer to data is almost always a great idea, as you can now call DML from any technology and rest
One of the more difficult parts of the software development lifecycle is deployment. While it seems simple on the surface - just write some scripts and run them - it gets pretty complicated pretty quickly as the level of sophistication of your system...
Another AI-centric tool that has raised a lot of interest is Claude Desktop. Like Cline, Claude Desktop uses the same reasoning engine at the core - Claude Code - to assist with development tasks. While they share the same engine, there are use cases...

Almost 20 years ago to the date, I submitted my resignation to Oracle to go start my own company. It was a difficult decision to make, as APEX - or HTML DB as it was called then - was just starting to gain traction. However, I was presented with an opportunity that was too hard to pass by.
Fast forward 20 years: starting today, I am happy to announce that I am returning to where it all started for me and re-joining the Oracle Database Tools team as an Architect.
This move is bittersweet. For the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of building and leading an incredible team in the GIUs, collaborating daily with people I deeply respect and admire. Walking away from that isn’t easy. But, just like 20 years ago, the opportunity in front of me was one I couldn’t pass up.
In this new role, I’ll be working with all of the Database Tools teams to help advance things like APEXLang as well as enabling Oracle Database developers to embrace AI for both themselves and their users. I also hope to make it out to a few more conferences and engage with the community on a more regular basis via social media and in person.
As I get settled in over the next few days, I’ll be blogging about what I’ve been up to. If there’s a topic that you’d like to hear more about or just want to re-connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me in the comments or on my socials: BlueSky, X & LinkedIn.
