It is true. You can laugh your way to understanding queuing theory, performance analysis and why systems behave the way they do.

From driving in traffic to being served at a restaurant, every person feels the impact of queuing theory. Queuing theory beautifully relates time and work into terms we can feel, like utilization, workload intensity, response time, elapsed time and systems architecture design.

With only the basics we can use foundational queuing theory to derive targeted performance solutions and goals, filter and evaluate any performance solution thrown at us and help non-technical people understand why our solutions make perfect sense.

Join us for a shockingly practical and fun session that will impact your Oracle career and beyond.

Tom McGinn, Learning Architect, Database User Assistance, wrote an article about the introduction of "just enough documentation," a combination of two content types - interactive diagrams and video. This concept was introduced by the Oracle Database User Assistance group with the aim of helping customers get started using Oracle's products as quickly as possible through a combination of interactivity and visual presentation. The first implementation of this approach is the Architectural Overview for Oracle Data Safe.

William Hardie, Vice President of Oracle Database Product Management, recently shared that customers who are wishing to utilize the Machine Learning, Spatial, and Graph features of Oracle Database are no longer required to purchase additional licenses. This is keeping with Oracle's mission to help people see data in new ways, discover insights, and unlock endless possibilities. 

Previously, SELECT published Why Your Database is Not Secure: A Prelude to the COLLABORATE 2019 Session. Over the next few weeks, I thought I would dive in a little deeper into the subject of database security based on that session. The presentation had four topic areas based on the time, effort, risk, and costs to perform. This article provides an overview on three areas that I believe are the lowest in time, effort, risks, and costs. I call these “Easy Pickings.”

Samuel Pesse, an Oracle ACE, wrote in his blog about how to self-test your database. The content below is a republishing of his words.
