Abstracts presentations Meet The Oracle Masters: online series

1. THE FEATURES OF ORACLE DATABASE 18C, 19C AND 20C

Speaker: Connor McDonald


Target audience: DBAs and Developers
Whilst most fanfare on the database is about cloud-first, sharding, and
autonomous database, there is a multitude of other enhancements in 18c
and 19c that DBAs and Developers would benefit from immediately. This
session focuses on the lesser known but still critical new features and
improvements in 18c and 19c. And yes, we’ll even throw some 20c into
the mix as well!

2. ORACLE AUTONOMOUS DATABASE – UNDER THE HOOD

Speaker: Maria Colgan


Target audience: DBAs and Developers with some interest in the
Database: beginners and intermediates
What does "autonomous" really mean, and what makes the database
autonomous? If you're looking for the answers to these questions, this is
the session for you! In this session, we invite you to take a peek under
the hood of the Oracle Autonomous Database, so you can get a clear
understanding of how our unique Autonomous Database works. We'll
share our exclusive combination of database features, best practices and
machine learning algorithms that make up this family of cloud services.
With the use of live demos, we'll illustrate how it can simplify your
approach to data management and accelerate your transition to the cloud.

3. NEW(ER) FEATURES OF ORACLE PL/SQL


Speaker: Steven Feuerstein
Target audience: Database Developers
Since Oracle Database 12c, a very nice and highly varied set of features
have been added to the PL/SQL language. Given the pressure on
developers' time and attention, it can be hard to keep with these new
features, especially given how robust PL/SQL has been for years, and how
stable are the applications built with it. This presentation makes attendees
aware of new possibilities for PL/SQL development, with benefits ranging
from runtime performance improvements to improved coding productivity.
Steven will cover the following: 18c Qualified expressions for collections
and records; PL/Scope now includes SQL statements in its analysis;
Whitelisting with the ACCESSIBLE_BY Clause; More PL/SQL-Only Data
Types Cross PL/SQL-to-SQL Interface; Optimizing Function Execution in
SQL; The UTL_CALL_STACK Package; Privileges/Access Management for
Program Units; Static Expressions In Place of Literals; Marking elements
for deprecation.

4. SQL DATA CACHING FOR PERFORMANCE


Speaker: Douglas Hood
Target audience: DBAs and Developers
Do you have critical queries that go to slow even after extensive SQL and
database tuning? Do you need lower latency and/or higher throughput for
your critical SQL and PLSQL code? Do you have packaged apps [eg Oracle
Siebel] or custom code which is just not fast enough? If the answer is yes,
then you should consider SQL data caching for both read and/or write
caching using Oracle GoldenGate or Oracle Application Tier Database
Cache.
This talk covers both the theory and practice of read/write caching for SQL
data. See how companies like eBay, T-Mobile, China Mobile, Apple and
Fidelity use SQL data caching for lower latency and higher throughput.
See how using SQL and PLSQL with existing Oracle APIs can give lower
latency and better throughput for caching than clustered technologies like
Cassandra, CouchBase, MongoDB, Redis and memcached.

5. DATABASE CORE PERFORMANCE PRINCIPLES


Speaker: Toon Koppelaars
Target audience: Techies and Managers
We'll discuss sometimes long forgotten database core performance
principles. It'll become clear to you that the popular application
architectures of the past two decades violate these principles in every
possible manner. We'll even demonstrate the resulting inefficiencies in
case you are not convinced (which you will not be).
6. LEARNING JAVASCRIPT CONCEPTS FROM REAL-WORLD SOLUTIONS
Speaker: Dan McGhan
Target audience: Beginner / APEX techies
Think you need to write hundreds of lines of JavaScript code to achieve
something useful in an APEX application? Think again! It often takes just a
few lines of JavaScript to get the job done. Of course, to write any lines of
JavaScript, you’ll need to understand some basic concepts.
In this session, attendees will see several JavaScript-based solutions for
requirements and problems found in the real-world. In each case, the
concepts behind the code, and the approach taken to solve the problem
will be explained.

7. HOW TO READ AN EXECUTION PLAN


Speaker: Chris Saxon
Target audience: Any
An execution plan is the driving directions for a SQL statement. But how
do you follow these directions?! This session teaches you which order the
database accesses tables in a plan. It then shows you what to look for in a
plan so you can make your queries faster. This includes several worked
examples to help you get to grips with the basics. This session is for
developers and DBAs new to the SQL tuning process.

8. DYNAMIC ACTIONS, THE HARD PARTS


Speaker: Dan McGhan
Target audience: Intermediate / APEX techies
The Dynamic Action framework can make it easy to add dynamic behavior
to your APEX applications without writing any JavaScript. But there are
parts of the framework that aren’t so straight forward. JavaScript hooks,
complex event bindings, debugging Ajax, and more – some might call
these the hard parts of Dynamic Actions. In this session, attendees will
skip the introduction to Dynamic Actions and dive right into the hard
parts. By the end, folks will leave with some new tools in their tool belt
that will help them take the Dynamic Action framework further than they
thought was possible.
9. ORACLE DATABASE IN-MEMORY WITH EXAMPLES
Speaker: Andy Rivenes
Target audience: DBAs and Developers: intermediate and above
Analytical queries typically scan large amounts of data using aggregations
to find patterns or trends in the data. In a traditional row-based database
this can be slow because each row must be examined to access the
columns in a query. Columnar formatted data avoids this problem because
just the columns in the query need to be accessed and columnar
formatted data also tends to compress well and work well with vectorized
processing like Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) operations.
Oracle introduced Database In-Memory in Oracle Database 12c with a new
in-memory columnar data format in addition to the traditional row format.
Database In-Memory is compatible with all existing applications and can
enable a 10x or better increase in analytic query performance. This
session will use some example SQL queries to demonstrate and then
explain how this dual format enables both superfast analytics and online
transaction processing. This session will also show you how Database In-
Memory integrates with Oracle Database to enable you to run existing
applications with no changes.
By attending this session, you will arm yourself with the knowledge
necessary to not only get started with Database In-Memory but to
dramatically improve the performance of your analytic workload.
