MySQL HeatWave integrates GenAI capabilities into MySQL on OCI.

Yesterday I participated to the Oracle Technology Roundtable for Digital Natives in Zurich.

It was a good opportunity to learn more about AI, Cloud and HeatWave with the focus on very trendy features of this product: generative AI, machine learning, vector processing, analytics and transaction processing across data in Data Lake and MySQL databases.

It was also great to share moments with the Oracle and MySQL teams and meet customers which gave feedback and tips about their solutions already in place in this area.

I’ll try to summarize below some key take-away of each session.
