Do you know how a large and complex organization like LA Unified School District has successfully rolled out a comprehensive business intelligence application that is business-oriented and producing results with data-driven decisions!  LAUSD Enterprise Reporting uses Kafka, ODI and Oracle technology components to deal with never-ending streams of events, to use Real-time or near-real-time processing to detect patterns and trends,  to build a suite of interactive dashboards based on streaming data integration for district executives, principals, teachers, counselors, and families with over 300 K-12 metrics and KPIs that provide whole child, whole school, whole district insight.  The session is planned as an interactive one, with a real-time demo, presented by a senior leader of the School District who has played a key role in the planning and execution of the huge effort.

Since 2016, Nationwide Insurance has leveraged Oracle Enterprise Manager's Fleet Maintenance capability to effectively and proactively patch our Oracle database environment to address critical vulnerabilities and maintain version currency.  Over three years, using EM capabilities, Nationwide has patched more than 7000 databases with a success rate exceeding 99%.  This session will talk about EM's Fleet Maintenance capabilities and impart some of the lessons we learned to achieve success.

With 19c we get the tiny little command line tool that will allow us to update our databases "hands free."  We can do all the prechecks, fix 99% of pre-update issues, and then do the update, and finally, the post-update, all without our manual little fingers on the keyboard, well almost no little fingers on the keyboard.  Wait there is more, it is not all for just Database 19c we can use this on prior versions like 18.5 and new as well as 12c Release 2 (12.2 + DBJAN2019RU and newer).

Anyone who’s familiar with tuning SQL knows that you need to get the execution plan for a query.  But once you’ve got an execution plan, what do you do with it?  Everyone understands that an execution plan is important for diagnosing, but almost no one knows how to answer questions like “which step in the execution plan is taking the longest?” “Which hardware component (CPU, Memory, Disk) is causing my query’s bottleneck?” “Is my parallel query making good use of its resources, or are they being wasted?”  If you have the Oracle Tuning and Diagnostic Pack license for your database and 30 seconds, you can find the answer to these questions--and more!
