Sneak preview of demo for Oracle Code events

By -
I will be presenting at a number of the Oracle Code events over the coming months on the subject of…..(drum roll please) SQL pattern matching. Oracle Code is a great series of conferences dedicated to developers who want to get the absolute maximum benefit from using today's cutting edge technologies. If you want to register for any of the dates listed below then follow this link to the registration page.

Back to my session...the actual topic of my session is: Simplified and fast fraud detection. The overall aim of this session is to demonstrate the key benefits of using SQL row pattern matching techniques compared to using other programming languages. As part of the presentation I will be using live demos to review a specific use related to fraud detection where I will walk through the MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause and explain the concepts and keywords. The demo will use a simple five step framework to construct pattern matching queries.

I will aim to show how easy it is to write and amend SQL-based pattern matching queries as requirements change and the slide deck includes a link to the video from OpenWorld 2015 where we showed a sophisticated fraud detection application that used pattern matching and spatial to create an analytical mash-up that processed a data stream in real-time.
If you would like a sneak preview of the presentation and the demo then follow these links:
If you are planning to attend any of the above events then please let me know as it would be great to meet up and talk about your experiences with analytic SQL and, especially, pattern matching. Email is the usual address keith.laker@oracle.com, or you can ping me on Twitter - @ASQLBarista.

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

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

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
