What is PKOUG?

PKOUG, the Pakistan Oracle User Group, is a non-profit community for Oracle professionals in Pakistan. This article explains what the platform offers and where to start.

PKOUG is independent. It is not operated by Oracle Corporation, and Oracle programme details (such as Oracle ACE levels) are always set by Oracle.
