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).

Robots may be the first to truly learn Machine Learning (ML) and expand into Artificial Intelligence (AI). Python is one of the keys to Machine Learning as we program the invention of Man's Mind to further replace man's most basic tasks. This session will focus on ML 101 and building the future ahead.

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.

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!

You made it to 9.2, and you took a deep sigh of relief that you don’t have to go through that again. But is that true? This presentation will look at what it takes to live in a continuous delivery support model where Updates, ESU’s, Tools, Middleware, OS’es and Hardware releases are regularly putting your system out of date.

The fact is JD Edwards is continuing to expand and new functionality is being added through Continuous Adoption and Delivery. The 9.2 that came out of the box is quite different than the 9.2 of today. Staying Current is a momentous task, but this presentation will discuss how to layout a manageable plan to be “near” current by using a regular mini-upgrade approach.

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.
