First introduced in 12cR2, Oracle Sharding was further improved in 18c/19c for linear scalability and complete fault isolation of OLTP workloads. With Oracle, sharding data are partitioned horizontally partitioned across discrete  Oracle Databases (shards) in shared-nothing architecture that collectively form a single logical database. Come to this session to learn its latest improvements in Oracle 19c and 20c, sharding on database cloud(DBCS) and leveraging sharding for your business. We will share the experience and tips of configuring sharded database architecture with HA  replication for massive scalability and complete fault isolation. We will also discuss some of the considerations of choosing the sharding method in a global geographic distribution application and some experience of using the Sharding Advisor tool.  We will also discuss some new sharding features that are coming in Oracle 20c such as Federated Sharding and sharding with database in Persistent memory.

Your databases may contain sensitive personal data like Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, addresses, date of births, and salary information. Understanding in what tables and columns sensitive data resides is critical in protecting the data and ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR, PCI, and the new California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, sensitive data is like a weed and can spread quickly if not properly managed. The challenge is how to effectively and continuously find sensitive data, especially in extremely large databases and data warehouses.  This session will discuss methodologies and tools to find sensitive data such as by searching column names, crawling the database table by table, and performing data qualification to eliminate false positives.  Other locations where sensitive data might reside such as trace files, dynamic views (e.g., V$SQL_BIND_DATA), and materialized views will be reviewed.

DBAs spend time dealing with maintenance, security, and outage issues with little time for innovation. Self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing Autonomous Databases free data professionals to leverage their domain knowledge and data skills to extract more value from data. Oracle Machine Learning, part of Autonomous Database, “moves the algorithms to the data” for in-database processing of machine learning algorithms that eliminate data movement. Now, the entire machine learning process:  problem statement, data understanding and preparation, model building and evaluation, model apply and model deployment runs inside the Oracle Database.   Database developers perform many supporting tasks today, typically 80% of the work, but refer to them as ETL, data wrangling, data transformations, and productionizing scripts.   Come learn how ADW, ATP, and Oracle Machine Learning makes it easy for you to easily expand your valuable data skills and become “data scientists” in just 6 weeks!

Hello, Oracle Database 19c SIG Members! We hope that you are taking full advantage of Quest Forum Digital Event. We are setting up this first Database 19c SIG members call. I will kick-off the call with an introduction of the Database 19c SIG. I will give a high-level introduction of 19c new features and take any questions you have. I will discuss plans for 2020. At the end, I will open the call to get your inputs and understand key topics you want to know more.

AsterionDB has pioneered the ability to seamlessly store and manage both structured and unstructured data in the Oracle Database.  We couple this with the ability to express any business logic required at the data-layer. These capabilities allow us to now build an architecture that can not be hacked. To be clear, hacking your API is not the same as hacking your architecture/platform. Hacking an API can be as simple as stealing a password - that's bad. Hacking an architecture is what happens when all of your files are stolen or locked up w/ ransomware. That's worse! This session will delve into the techniques required to build an impervious architecture that is easily adept at securing structured and unstructured data.

Oracle Sharding is a technology for managing multiple, geographically dispersed databases in a shared-nothing architecture. Sharding is often associated with large, complex databases but that need not be the case. Based on Oracle Partitioning technology, sharding is a component of Oracle's Maximum Availability Architecture and boasts a rapidly growing user base. Its adoption is a result of the many database challenges it solves, including extreme availability, fault isolation, data tenancy, application response and latency, hybrid cloud deployment, migration, and data sovereignty. In this presentation, learn how Oracle's sharding technology works, its limits, implementation planning, use cases, and features and enhancements planned in Oracle 20c.

Right from the first installation and configuration of the Oracle Clusterware, you need a good deal of expertise. This starts with the preparation of the operating system and ends with the various input fields and choice boxes in the graphical user interface that need to be completed. Although installation is certainly no bag of fun it should nevertheless be reproducible, so automating the procedure seems the obvious thing to do. This presentation explains a possible solution that avoids any graphical user interface interaction and whose efficacy has been tried and tested in numerous projects.

Epsilon deploys real-time marketing solution for many customers, Application Uptime and Performance SLAs are key business measures. Using Oracle MAA technologies, RAC, Data Guard, GoldenGate, and Application Continuity, Epsilon is able to provide customers a platform where planned maintenance operations are completely hidden from application end users. This allows us to be fully compliant.  In fact, by using the Oracle high availability solution, Application Continuity, we even hide unplanned outages from end users.
