Reading about the ACE Program, I decided that it would be cool to share some Oracle Database scripts and tutorials. A lot of things I did in my day-to-day life I couldn&#8217;t find on the internet and then I thought: &#8220;<strong>when I write something that I can&#8217;t find, probably someone else looking for the same topic will end up on my website<\/strong>&#8220;. That is how my website, DBARJ (RJ is valid for both the initials of my name and that of my city) was born. I tried to remove the &#8220;com.BR&#8221; but at the time, there was already a USA farm site that had stolen my idea =]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2014, July 19th<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I decided it would be interesting to start participating in community events! I didn&#8217;t know anyone yet (no one at all) .. researching local user groups, I discovered the Brazilian User Group event, GUOB! I signed up for it. At the time, I paid R$ 400 (~ US$100 as of today), I think the best invested money I ever did up to date (you&#8217;ll soon see why).<\/p>\n<p id=\"NAXYaML\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e221a8fba5b6-1024x832.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e221a8fba5b6-1024x832.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e221a8fba5b6-300x244.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e221a8fba5b6-768x624.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e221a8fba5b6.png 1154w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2014, August 2nd<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>GUOB was awesome! I saw that the database world was much bigger than I thought and there are many very smart guys around Brazil. But what most caught my attention was the session of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alexzaballa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Zaballa<\/a> (at that time, still unknown to me) &#8220;<strong>How to become an OCM<\/strong>&#8220;.

My target was to take the within 1 year. For each topic I studied for the exam, I wrote an article. With that, I consolidated a huge study guide material on my website (which was responsible for the largest number of accesses I got). This blog has long served as a &#8220;<strong>Guide to OCM<\/strong>&#8221; to many people. As the posts are in English, I started to have more international than national access. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/en\/ocm-11g-preparation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/en\/ocm-11g-preparation\/\u00a0<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2015, Novemeber 20th<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I took the OCM exam on the October 14th and 15th and received the result 35 long days later!

With his help, I decided it was time to become an ACE Associate. My website had a lot of content and he agreed that it would be possible to enter this first level! I did a self-apply, submitting all my contributions to him. I received the &#8220;<strong>Oracle ACE Associate Award Invitation<\/strong>&#8221; about a month later: January 15th, 2016.

I did a self-apply again. As I was even more inside the community spirit, giving sessions at events and going to international conferences, I thought it would be possible. It took them 2 months to analyze, and the answer came!<\/p>\n<p id=\"GypGIOF\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1430\" height=\"578\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4411 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e2219ac47c0b.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e2219ac47c0b.png 1430w, https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e2219ac47c0b-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e2219ac47c0b-1024x414.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e2219ac47c0b-768x310.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1430px) 100vw, 1430px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2019, July 1st<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I was invited to join GUOB now as one of the board members! That User Group which 5 years ago I was going for the first time, and changed my life, now I was also there as a member, to be responsible for supporting and helping to change the lives of others. It was an honor for me, and I hope to stay for as long as my contributions are taking the community forward!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2019, July &#8211; September<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>2019 was the year that I also started to speak at international events! With that, I gained even greater visibility from other countries User Groups. There were 3 main locations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>ArOUG &#8211; Argentina<\/li>\n<li>POUG &#8211; Poland<\/li>\n<li>OOW &#8211; US<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2020, January 9th<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When I was at OOW in 2019 with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/viniciusdba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marcus Vin\u00edcius<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alexzaballa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Zaballa<\/a>, both from Enkitec and who were also speakers, at some point they asked: &#8220;Man, why don&#8217;t you apply for ACE Director? You do publish articles, tools, give sessions and is also known by the community. Why don&#8217;t you try?&#8221; This conversation (extremely shortened here) was another turning point.<\/p>\n<p>I had thought about this possibility a while before, but the truth is that this &#8220;Director&#8221; title was never really an aspiration or goal. I was satisfied as an ACE, I did not aim for anything above that.. until their encouragement opened my eyes and I saw that this extra step would be important to me and that I was also capable. I owe them a lot for the conversations. So I planned to try this by the end of the year!<\/p>\n<p>As most of you may know, to become an &#8220;ACE Director&#8221;, unlike other levels where your contributions are exclusively what counts, you need an indication of at least one <strong>Product Manager<\/strong> from Oracle and at least at least two <strong>ACE Directors<\/strong> who do not work with you. I then talked with two friends that I made over the years, after many twists and turns through conferences: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/matheusdba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matheus Boesing<\/a> (DBA from Rio Grande do Sul &#8211; Brazil) and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FranckPachot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Franck Pachot<\/a> (DBA from France).<\/p>\n<p>I know Matheus since GUOB 2015! At that time, we were just 2 listeners absorbing everything that those experts were presenting! Good times! Since then, I met him in practically all GUOB and even outside the country, at ArOUG &#8211; Argentina.<\/p>\n<p>Franck, on the other hand, I meet him every year at OOW, since 2016! In 2019, we met in other international oracle events and also in Switzerland, during a vacation trip. If I had to list 5 best DBAs I have ever met, he would be on that list. A simple and extremely intelligent guy that I admire a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as <strong>Product Manager<\/strong>, I asked for support from the database upgrade genius guy: Mike Dietrich. I met him at several GUOBs and OOWs events! Pablo Ciccarello was also in to support this nomination!<\/p>\n<p>This application was the longest of the three levels. It took about 3 months of analysis before I was officially invited by our ACE Program representative, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jen_s_nicholson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jennifer<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p id=\"FMvhLTX\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4423 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e23b9d4c073e-1024x242.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"870\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e23b9d4c073e-1024x242.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e23b9d4c073e-300x71.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e23b9d4c073e-768x181.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e23b9d4c073e-1536x363.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.dbarj.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/img_5e23b9d4c073e.png 1960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I would like once again to show my eternal gratitude to all the names I have already mentioned in this post, in addition to all those who helped me get to where I am now, directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n<h3>And now? What changes as ACE Director?<\/h3>\n<p>A lot of people wonder what changes .. what is the difference between ACE and ACE Director? Well, what Oracle expects from us, ACE Directors, is that we are even more engaged and committed to Oracle technology, actively participating in the community, national and international events, actively interacting with Product Teams giving feedback on the tools, etc. In short, give our best to the company.<\/p>\n<p>As benefits, I would say that the main difference is having the chance to be sponsored to attend community events, as long as I get accepted as a speaker and where there is also interest by the ACE Program. Annually, ACE Directors are also invited for a &#8220;Product Briefing&#8221;, where we meet with Product Managers and receive an overview of the main changes in products and services offered by Oracle.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Next steps?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been asked: &#8220;What comes after ACE Director? ACE VP?&#8221; .. in fact what comes next is the eternal search for knowledge which we, in this IT world, must always seek to not be left behind.<br \/>\nIn addition, sharing knowledge is the key. Today I am only where I am after reading many articles and posts written by people who thought so.. and I try to give back by helping the community.<\/p>\n<b>Have you enjoyed?
