LAB: Use Oracle Big Data SQL to Analyze Data Across Oracle Database, Hadoop, and NoSQL
Hotel Nikko—Bay View (25th Floor)

Martin Gubar, Director of Product Management, Oracle
Keith Laker, Senior Principal Product Managerm Oracle
Organizations are expanding their data management platform including data stores based on Hadoop technologies and NoSQL databases. These data sources may contain new types of data that were not previously captured in the data warehouse, provide historical data that must be retained for compliance, and more. Oracle Big Data SQL enables existing applications that query Oracle Database to analyze data from all these sources, utilizing Oracle's rich SQL support and security policies. This hands-on lab introduces you to how this is achieved: providing access to big data sources, implementing unified security, and delivering analyses that combine and correlate all data.

LAB: Using Oracle Database 12c as a NoSQL JavaScript Object Notation Document Store
Mark Drake, Product Manager, Oracle

Hotel Nikko—Golden Gate (25th Floor)
The schemaless nature of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) has enabled it to become an extremely popular method for persisting application data. Oracle Database 12c introduces new features that enable the database to be used as a JSON document store and provide full support for schemaless development. This latest version can store, index, and query JSON content in a highly performant manner. It also enables SQL to be used to query JSON content and join JSON content with relational data, spatial data, and XML. This hands-on lab provides an introduction to the JSON-related features of Oracle Database 12c as well as new RESTFUL services that make it possible to work with JSON content without requiring detailed knowledge of SQL.

A RESTful Microservice for JSON in Oracle Database 12c Release 2
Kuassi Mensah, Director, Product Management, Oracle
Paul Lo, Senior Director, Oracle

Park Central—Olympic
The monolithic web application is dead; this is the era of service-based architecture, microservices, and functional and reactive programming. A modern web application is an assembly of services or microservices, each with its own implementation. In this technical session learn the steps for implementing a JavaScript microservice for data processing directly in Oracle Database. This microservice processes JavaScript Object Notation documents in place, and returns only the result sets. The session also shows how to turn such microservice into a RESTful data service for cloud deployment.

Thinking Clearly About Database Application Architecture
Gerald Venzl, Principal Product Manager, Oracle
Bryn Llewellyn, Distinguished Product Manager, Database Division, Oracle
Connor Mcdonald, Developer Advocate for SQL, Oracle
Toon Koppelaars, Consulting Member of Technical Staff, Real World Performance Group, Oracle
Cary Millsap, Infrastructure Principal Director, Method R Corporation

Moscone South—103
The panelists strive to deserve their “Database Scientist” informal job titles by drawing their understanding of the correctness, security, and performance properties of applications that use Oracle Database from the data that proactive, empirical investigation yields. Like all scientists, they appreciate that future experiments might prompt the modification of current understanding. With this ordinary caveat, they confidently promote the understanding born of the current corpus of evidence: that the optimal database architecture starts with a carefully designed data model, manipulated by humanly composed SQL, encapsulated in PL/SQL. Come to hear them present their evidence. Challenge them with your own. They love a feisty debate.

Prevent Bad SQL in the Cloud
Arup Nanda, Principal Database Architect, Starwood Hotels

Moscone South—103
Managing a database in Oracle Public Cloud makes most DBA-related tasks simpler. But applications are a different animal. Bad SQL could ruin a perfectly architected database in the cloud, and most DBAs fail to prevent that simply because that’s not their core skillset or they don’t have enough time for it. But 90 percent of the performance issues due to SQL can be handled automatically by tools built into Oracle Database. In this session learn how to harness those features to tune errant SQL without rewriting code, knowing anything about SQL constructs, or spending a large amount of time on them.

Do You Have Text in Your Database? Use a Text Index
Roger Ford, Product Manager, Oracle

Moscone South—303
Most databases have textual data in them, from a few words to long documents. However, most applications don't take full advantage of that valuable content. In this session learn how Oracle Text allows you to create full-text indexes and run powerful and flexible queries on the content, all from within SQL. Oracle Text is included in all versions of Oracle Database 12c Release 2, no extra licenses needed. If you're not using it, you should, and this session shows you how.

Oracle’s Internal Use of Data Mining and Predictive Analytics: Case Study
Charlie Berger, Oracle
Frank Heiland, Senior Specialist Business Operations, Oracle

Palace—Grand Ballroom
Oracle uses predictive analytics in sales and customer support, HR, and elsewhere. Oracle targets customers most likely to buy products and anticipates customers most likely to discontinue service agreements. Customer service can monitor hosted database environments and anticipate unhealthy runtime behavior. Oracle Data Mining even contributed to the 2014 America’s Cup win. Oracle “moves the algorithms to the data” and extends the database to become an analytical platform; hence, Oracle has developed “predictive applications” for improved, analytically based decision-making and is adopting them internally. In this session, these internal “predictive analytics” use cases and an overview of Oracle Advanced Analytics are presented.

Design Flexible Data Models Using Oracle's JavaScript Object Notation Capabilities
Aris Prassinos, Chief Engineer, Morpho

Park Central—Franciscan I
Oracle's JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) capabilities allow organizations to build schemaless database models while at the same time maintaining the full power of SQL. This session provides a quick introduction to these capabilities, and then examines the lessons learned from an actual application deployed to multiple customers with diverse schema requirements that also evolved over time. The examples presented cover design of JSON documents, storing and querying, advanced indexing techniques, and best practices. Finally, the functionality and performance of the JSON design approach will be contrasted to a traditional relational design and also to the XML capabilities available in prior versions of Oracle Database.
