OTN Developer Day - Free Oracle Big Data Workshop

By -

If you want to get hands-on time with Oracle's big data technology stack then we are rolling out, in collaboration with OTN, a new complementary one-day hands-on workshop - yes it really is FREE! The date will is Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at Oracle's HQ in Redwood Shores, California.

The workshop will be based around the MoviePlex demonstration application that was first shown at last year's OpenWorld and you will get hands-on time with the source code and we will show you how to develop some of the key features of this application.

What is Oracle MoviePlex?
The Oracle MoviePlex is a fictional on-line movie streaming company and like many other on-line stores, they needed a cost effective approach to tackle their “big data” challenges. They recently implemented Oracle’s Big Data Platform to better manage their business, identify key opportunities and enhance customer satisfaction. The key challenge for Oracle Movieplex is how to manage and process massive volumes of unstructured data flowing in to their environment.

The business users at Oracle MoviePlex want to use their big data platform to help them explore some new business opportunities:
  • Make the right movie offers at the right time?
  • Better understand the viewing trends of various customer segments?
  • Optimize marketing spend by targeting customers with optimal promotional offers?
  • Minimize infrastructure spend by understanding bandwidth usage over time?
Below is a slideshow that will help provide some background and more general information about this application: (Thanks to Marty Gubar, Director of Product Management Big Data, for overseeing the development of the MoviePlex application, putting together the workshop and for creating the slides below)


What will you learn at this workshop?
The overall objective for this workshop is to show how you can develop a low latency, personalized recommendations environment that leverages Oracle's advanced analytic capabilities. During the workshop you will learn from technical experts who will demonstrate the following core technical topics:
  • Write MapReduce on Oracle’s Big Data Platform
  • Manage a Big Data environment
  • Access Oracle NoSQL Database
  • Manage Oracle NoSQL DB Cluster
  • Use data from a Hadoop Cluster with Oracle
  • Develop analytics on big data
Don't delay - register today to learn these key big data skills which you can immediately put to use within your organization.Space is limited so do not delay clicking on this link [here] to register.

My query just got faster - brief introduction to 12.2 in-memory cursor duration temp tables

By -

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 S...

SQL Pattern Matching Deep Dive - Part 1

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...

SQL Pattern Matching Deep Dive - Part 6, state machines

By -

The obvious way to start this particular post is to pose a couple of simple questions: what is a state machine and why should you care? In general I would say that you don't need to know about or care about state machines. That's the beauty of using SQL for pattern matching. The MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause encapsulates all the deep technical modelling and processing that has to be performed to run pattern matching on a data set. However, there are times when it is useful, probably vital, that you understand what is going on behind the scenes and one of the most obvious situations is when backtracking happens. Therefore, the content covered in this post is a going to be a gently lead-in into my next post where I am going to discuss the concept of “backtracking”  and the dreaded  ORA-30009 error. Let’s start our voyage of discovery…when you attempt to run a SQL statement containing a MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause during the compilation phase we generate a finite state machine ba...
