The death of Oracle Forms has been greatly exaggerated. Despite 2 decades of development, Forms is still the backbone of thousands of mission-critical applications worldwide. But where do our tried and true Forms stand while all systems are undergoing a user experience revolution or moving to the cloud? In this session, we will show how Oracle Forms is now a full member of Oracle’s cloud, mobile, and even Chat ecosystem. We will review the 4 ways that you can extend your existing Forms investments to the cloud, including:

-“Lift-and-Shift” your Forms servers to Cloud Servers - OCI
-Extending your applications using Oracle’s rapid development tool Visual Builder Cloud Service (VBCS)
-Leveraging existing business logic through Chat interfaces using Digital Assistant cloud service
-Doing DevOps using Developer Cloud Service.

The answer to how to bring your Forms into the next generation will be revealed during this session. Along with live demos and Q&A.

Infrastructure as code is the process of managing and provisioning computer data centers through machine-readable definition files, rather than physical hardware configuration or interactive configuration tools (by Wikipedia). On this vibrant session you would learn the differences between “configuration orchestration” and “configuration management” tools, and how emergent technologies such as Vagrant, Terraform, and Ansible fit and can be used to define, manage and provision a datacentre infrastructure or even build and maintain portable virtual environments.

The future is here, let's take advantage of it today!

Many Machine Learning tasks need to access a lot of data set, which in many cases are stored in a database such as Oracle Database.  It makes a more scalable solution to do the machine learning task in the database, which is called in-database machine learning.  Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW)  comes a library of Oracle machine learning algorithms and a set of building tools such as SQL notebooks  for machine learning.  This allows Data scientists to run Machine Learning projects in Oracle Database without moving data. This session will examine Oracle Machine Learning as part of Oracle database  as well as ADW . We will discuss process of machine learning:  analyze and prepare data set;  build and evaluate and apply machine learning model. We also will discuss the  Oracle machine learning features in Oracle 21c such as  AutoML for In-Database Machine Learning and newly added in-database machine learning algorithms for anomaly detection, regression, and deep learning analysis.

This presentation aims to help you use the Active Session History (ASH) repository to investigate performance problems.  Oracle have produced many presentations that explain how ASH works, so this presentation provides only a very brief overview of how ASH works.

This talk is for database and information security professionals.

The database holds the crown jewels of the organization; however, the infosec security teams have little understanding of working of the database and database developers, designers, and DBAs have little understanding of security concepts. I get it, we get pressure from the top and the users to deliver a system with little time or budget to apply to database security. In this talk, we are going to take the 10,000 meter view of the database and look at the attack surface, attack vectors, and how to mitigate those attacks. At the end of the presentation, developers, designers, and DBAs will have action items they can take back to their shop and start improving security.

Understanding how Oracle Database data and index compression works, what has changed in the latest versions and discussing compression best practices can help you in getting the best results with Oracle Compression. Join Oracle Product Management to gain insights on compression topics that include: when compression occurs during bulk loads and DML inserts/updates, when to use Index Key (prefix) Compression versus Advanced Index Compression, how to track compression using AWR’s as well as recent Advanced Row Compression and Hybrid Columnar Compression enhancements with Oracle Database. This session is the perfect opportunity to get all your compression questions answered by Product Management.

Organizations that have strong IT leadership, strong IT influence, get superior results. And not only do they get superior results, but they also get it with less effort. They get it with less rework. And so for us to commit ourselves to our own leadership and influence and how we can improve our leadership and influence can make a huge impact on the organizations that we serve.
