ODTUG’s KScope13 event is just around the corner. This year, as always, we have a ton of Oracle SQL Developer content ready to share in the form of sessions, hands on labs, and symposiums. I’ve noticed a few of our users are also sharing their experience in their own sessions – awesome! If you’re going to Kscope13, you’ll want to make sure to carefully setup your schedule so you don’t miss a thing 🙂
I’ve used their new Kscope13 mobile app for Android to set my schedule. You’ll just need to visit the Google Play marketplace, download the app, and request to set your password – it doesn’t seem to use your existing ODTUG authentication.
It looks great so far!
Just browse each day’s activities, find something you like, and hit the ‘Star’ button at the top of the screen. This will add it to your calendar. No more walking around looking lost with all those conference calendar papers!
You can even see which of your friends and colleagues will be attending. Now what I’m not sure of, is there a way to share your schedule?
If you just want a SQL Developer-themed cheat sheet, then keep reading.
Sunday Symposiums
The Database and Developer’s Toolbox Symposium
For the second year in a row, Kris Rice, senior director at Oracle Corporation, has put together a fantastic line-up of speakers for those interested in the database. Mike Hichwa, Jeff Smith, Maria Colgan, Tom Kyte, and Kris Rice will all discuss the future of the Oracle Database. This day alone is worth the price of admission.
I’ll be on at 11AM to talk about Oracle SQL Developer version 4.0.

Leighton Nelson, very well known in DBA and the IOUG community as well, will talk about how SQL Developer has become a great tool for DBAs, not just developer and the query folks. He’s told me to expect some live demo too, so I plan to be there with plenty of popcorn (for me!)
Thursday
Version Control the Database Development

The folks at dbMaestro have built a source control solution for your database objects and have integrated it with SQL Developer. Caveat: I’m not endorsing dbMaestro or their technology, but if you’re a database developer, I would recommend stopping by and checking out their story.
