In 2025, 520 Oracle Database developers submitted more than 2,400 answers in the Oracle Dev Gym Weekly Database tournament. The top 50 players qualified for the annual championship.
The championship is scheduled for Thursday 29th January 2026 at 2pm UTC.
This will cover SQL and PL/SQL features in Oracle Database 26ai. Competitors will have 45 minutes to answer the questions.
When the time’s up, we’ll review the answers and rank competitors by correctness, then speed. Top marks will go to those who get the most correct; the faster time breaks any ties.
Below is the list of qualifiers. The number in parentheses after their names is the count of prior championships that they have played in.
Congratulations to all listed below on their skill and dedication. Best of luck to them in the upcoming competition!
