It has been another busy year for the Oracle Database development team, and not just in terms of product releases! While 2022 continued where 2021 left off with a continuation of virtual events, 2022 also saw a long-awaited and welcome return to in-person events. The Oracle Development team participated in a number of User Group events including Quest Blueprint 4D, the DOAG and UKOUG conferences, and (of course) our own Oracle Cloud World. So with 2023 just around the corner, here's a quick look back at just a (very) few of the highlights from the Oracle Database development team in 2022.
