At Oracle Open World I had an opportunity to enter ‘The Cube’ and spend some time with Dave Vellante of Wikibon. Our conversation ended up on numerous topics that I hadn’t planned for (I thought we might talk a bit of database tech like NoSQL). None the less, the time with Dave was great and I hope you find the conversation entertaining.
