"Dreams come true". I am happy to share that I started to work as a Consulting Member of Technical Staff at #Oracle for the #MAA Team under the development side.

I am grateful for this opportunity and for being able to join this incredible team inside Oracle.

New blog post. Check how to set the ASMCA_ARGS to define parameters to be used at ASM instance creation during the #Oracle Grid installation.

This allows us to solve errors, define special configurations, and bypass limitations for on-prem installations.
