One of most common reasons IT departments avoid database development is the belief that an application upgrade in the database causes downtime. However, nothing can be further from the truth. On the contrary, Oracle Database provides one of the most bullet proof ways to upgrade an application without any downtime: Edition Based Redefinition (EBR) EBR is a powerful and fascinating feature of Oracle (added in version 11.2), that enables application upgrades with zero downtime , while the application is actively used and operational. Attend the free webinar by Oren Nakdimon on February 16th to learn how to use EBR , see many live examples, and get tips from real-life experience in a production site using EBR extensively. The webinar is free but space is limited. Sign up for the free webinar.
