Rust 263: Getting Started with the New Rust Driver for Oracle AI Database

Rust Dublin's 263rd meetup, at tcube on O'Connell Street, on the new native Rust driver for Oracle Database. Juarez Barbosa Jnr of Oracle walks through rust-oracledb, a pure Rust thin driver that talks the Oracle Net protocol directly with no external dependencies. The session goes from installing the driver and basic authentication to running queries, connection pooling for applications that need scalable access, and a practical introduction to AI Vector Search. He has over twenty years in the field, previously leading Azure developer relations at Microsoft. Booking is through rustdublin.org as well as Meetup. Free, 18:15. Why go: a 263-edition meetup is a real community, not a launch event, and this is a first look at a driver that removes the C dependency Rust teams have been working around. Best for Rust developers and backend engineers on Oracle estates.
