This talk had plenty of time for questions, and there were plenty of questions to fill that slot - ALL expertly answered. A great talk whizzing us through the new JSON features of MySQL 8, how it is handled internally, and what to expect next as it continues to be developed.
I enjoyed Dave's talk, but I felt it lacked something. The delivery was good and the content useful, but I got the impression that he'd delivered the same talk a dozen or more times. Don't take that as criticism, it was good. I suppose it felt more like a tech demo from a supplier than a talk about the how and why of the topic. I'd prefer a real-world scenario rather than "it's here, here's the functions, what you do with it is your business". Again, not a criticism, but it would've taken it from a good talk to a great talk. One thing you can say is that Dave is supremely knowledgable and confidently fielded all questions, hardly missing a beat.

Great talk :)
Good technical details and a handy Q&A afterwards

Good talk, nice and technical and some handy questions and queries at the end
