Read-All-About-It: new weekly Oracle Data Warehousing newspaper

By -
Thanks to Brendan Tierney for bringing this excellent online automated news service to my attention….

For a long time I have been wondering how to pull together all the articles from my favourite Twitter feeds, Facebook pages and blogs. Well thanks to Brendan I have discovered a service called Paper.li. This weekend I spent some time setting up feeds from all my favourite sources related to data warehousing, big data. Exadata and other related Oracle technologies. The result is the "#Oracle DW-Big Data Weekly Roundup" which is designed to "keep you up to date on all the weekly sql analytics, data warehousing and big data news from # Oracle". The newspaper is refreshed every Sunday night so that it is ready for Monday morning to read over breakfast. It is the perfect way to start the working week….

Image courtesy of wikipedia This post covers one of the new SQL performance enhancements that we incorporated into Database 12c Release 2 . All of these enhancements are completely automatic, i.e. transparent to the calling app/developer code/query. These features are enabled by default because who doesn’t want their queries running faster with zero code changes? So in this post I am going to focus on the new In-Memory “cursor duration” temporary table  feature. Let’s start by looking at cursor duration temp tables… Above image courtesy of wikimedia.org What is a cursor duration temp table? This is a feature that has been around for quite a long time. Cursor duration temporary tables (CDTs) are used to materialize intermediate results of a query to improve performance or to support complex multi step query execution. The following types of queries commonly use cursor duration temp tables: WITH Clause and parallel recursive WITH Grouping Sets Star Trans

There has been quite a lot of interest in the new 12c MATCH_RECOGNIZE feature for SQL pattern matching. Therefore, I thought now would be the perfect time to start a series of quick deep dive posts that explain how SQL pattern matching works. Over the coming weeks I will cover the following topics in a series of posts. This is the start of a series of posts based on a presentation that I put together for the recent annual  BIWA conferenc e at Oracle HQ. The Oracle BI, DW and Analytics user community always puts on a great conference and this year was the best yet. You can download any or all of the presentations from this year’s conference by following this link . My pattern matching deep dive presentation started life about a year ago as a post covering some of the new keywords in the explain plan that are linked to pattern matching, see here . It has now expanded to cover a much wider range of topics. Firstly, a huge vote of thanks to my development team (Lei Sheng and Chun-Chie
