Simply automating your business processes is not enough. You need processes that are dynamic, and change over time based on real-time data from many data sources. Predictive analytics, machine learning, self-documenting hardware, point and click integrations, and automated regression and performance testing is the future for ERP, EPM, analytics, and integration professionals. The future is…

Oracle Database In-Memory promises an incredible performance boost for analytic queries. But how do you determine if you have an analytic workload that will benefit from Database In-Memory? This presentation will review what Database In-Memory is and how it works, and then we will talk about what types of workload will benefit from Database In-Memory. We will also examine what aspects of a SQL query benefit from Database In-Memory and provide some guidelines for use with commercial applications and applications where you cannot change the code. Lastly we will take a look at some actual SQL Monitor reports to demonstrate where Database In-Memory provides benefit and show how a time-based approach can be used to help quantify the benefit of Database In-Memory.

With growing demands from businesses for real-time, analytical capabilities, maintaining data environments that can grow with these demands is a necessity. This is pressuring data administrators to deliver responsive, high-performing systems that can scale with the business. However, many enterprises are encumbered by the licensing and support issues that typically accompany database systems, resulting in…

Oracle Database 12c is the first release to offer the capability to access a file in HDFS or HIVE format as an EXTERNAL table.

Fun Facts about Fraud: #1 fraud detection method is a tip, 33% of business failures are due to theft and fraud, the median time for fraud detection is 18 months and 49% of victims do not recover their losses.  With such a significant cost, why can’t companies better combat against fraud? Oracle’s machine learning and advanced analytical capabilities transform your Oracle data management platforms into powerful fraud detection and prevention solutions. Using ML algorithms specifically designed to detect flag and predict rare events companies are turning the tide against this scourge and building applications to automate its detection.  Come see Oracle’s machine learning functions and how they can help you fight crime.

There is a fundamental shift underway in IT to include open, software defined, distributed systems like Hadoop. As a result, every Oracle professional should strive to learn these new technologies or risk being left behind. This session is designed specifically for Oracle database professionals so they can better understand SQL on Hadoop, both on-premises and…

  Apache Kafka is a massively scalable message queue used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming applications that are high-performing and fault tolerant. This presentation will introduce Kafka from the perspective of a mere mortal Oracle DBA and share the experience of (and challenges with) getting events from relational databases to Kafka. We’ll demonstrate…

The open source streaming data platform, Kafka, is taking the world by storm. In their own predictions for 2017 Oracle even asserted that “Kafka looks to be the runaway Big Data technology of 2017”. A powerful platform in its own right, Kafka is designed, from the ground up, as a fast, scalable, durable, distributed system.…

The open source streaming data platform, Kafka, is taking the world by storm. In their own predictions for 2017 Oracle even asserted that “Kafka looks to be the runaway Big Data technology of 2017”. This being the case there's no better time to start learning it. So what is it? Well, technically speaking it is…
