Review of Data Warehousing and Big Data at #oow15

“From the keynotes to the connections to the entertainment, there truly is something for everyone at Oracle OpenWorld” …


DW BigData Review Of OOW15
This year OpenWorld was bigger, more exciting and packed with sessions about the very latest technology and product features. Most importantly, both data warehousing and Big Data were at the heart of this year’s conference across a number of keynotes and a huge number of general sessions. Our hands-on labs were all completely full as people got valuable hands-on time with our most important new features. The key focus areas at this year’s conference were:
  • Database 12c for Data Warehousing
  • Big Data and the Internet of Things 
  • Cloud from on-premise to on the Cloud to running hybrid Cloud systems
  • Analytics and SQL continues to evolve to enable more and more sophisticated analysis. 
All these topics appeared across the main keynote sessions including live on-stage demonstrations of how many of our news features can be used to increase the performance and analytical capability of your data warehouse and big data management system - checkout the on-demand videos for the keynotes and executive interviews.
If you want to revisit the most important sessions, or if you simply missed this year’s conference and want to catch up on all the most important topics, then I have put together a comprehensive review of this year’s conference which is divided into the following sections:
  • Overview
  • Key Feature Areas
    • Oracle Database 12c for Data Warehousing
    • Big Data
    • Cloud
    • Analytics and SQL
  • Hands-on Labs
  • OpenWorld 2016
Each of these sections includes all the most important sessions and links to product pages and all the hottest social media sites. If you are using the iBook version some of movies have been preloaded and all the presentations have been preloaded into the iBook - if you are using the PDF version then you will have to follow the links to view the videos and to download the slides for each presentation. You can download my review in both Apple iBook by clicking here and PDF format by clicking here. Hope this proves useful and if I missed anything then let me know.
Please note that downloadable presentations for some of the sessions are not available because they included content about features that will be part of the next release of Oracle Database. For these sessions I have provided links to the relevant product pages on OTN where you will find information about all the latest greatest features of Database 12c.
Finally, if you missed this year’s conference then I guarantee that will not want to miss #oow2016 because it is going to be even bigger and even more exciting than #oow15. The last section of the review booklet provides 10 reasons why you will want to be at #oow2016. Overall it's a great read

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

By -
Image
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 -
Image
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...
