10:30-11:30 What’s New in Database Consolidation
Oracle Database 12c introduces a new multitenant architecture that offers greater utilization and scalability of server resources through simplified database consolidation onto private clouds. It fully complements proven database technologies such as Real Application Clusters, and effectively enables customers to manage many databases as one, without the need to change existing applications.  In addition, Oracle Multitenant offers very fast provisioning and cloning of databases, rapid database patching and upgrades, and secure isolation of data. During this session, we’ll examine Oracle Multitenant in some detail and explain how this new architecture works.

      Optimizing Oracle SQL, Intensive Online webinar Objective: This class is a 5-day intensive combination of material that would typically be covered in 7 days. Focus is directed towards the optimizer and understanding how it behaves when developing query execution plans. The importance of optimizing SQL at the resource usage level is learned and the Hotsos SQL Test Harness and Tools Pack scripts are used to facilitate the comparison of multiple approaches to writing SQL statements to discover the "performance optimal" choice among several approaches. Different approaches to writing high performance SQL are demonstrated as well as review of database design elements that can affect performance. Target Audience: The course is designed for application developers and database administrators who want to respond faster and more permanently to Oracle system performance problems that are known to be caused by inefficient application SQL code. Whether you are wanting to learn how to write new code that performs optimally from the start or are looking to update and maintain previously written code, this course teaches you the skills you need. We take you 'under the covers' to see how and why your SQL performs as it does and lead you to understand how to most effectively provide the Oracle optimizer with the information it needs to produce optimal execution plans. Simply put, if you write SQL, this class is for you! The course is most effective for students who will be motivated to solve real Oracle system performance problems immediately upon returning to work after the course. Prerequisites: Students are expected to have a working knowledge of Oracle SQL through experience either as a database administrator or application developer. Synopsis: This course is intended to teach students a repeatable and reliable method for optimizing SQL and to assimilate the new habit of testing optimization hypotheses rapidly during the performance improvement process. Instead of relying on “rules of thumb” and hit-and-miss guessing, this course helps the student understand the inner workings of the Oracle optimizer and how SQL execution paths are determined. Particular emphasis is placed on discovering how to capture, read, and understand execution plans and how to use 10053 trace data to follow the optimizer's plan selection. The student's attention is focused not upon rote learning and superficial understanding of Oracle rules of thumb, but upon a thorough understanding how the Oracle database works. The course is not just about learning how to write SQL. The course is about arming the student with the skills to be able to scientifically determine the efficiency of any SQL statement. While the course does offer alternative ways to write SQL in many cases, the primary objective is to equip the student to determine whether a statement is optimal and to achieve a deeper understanding of the cost-based optimizer. This course presents problem-solving strategies that can be carried forward directly to common problems and customized for solving less common ones. The result is a fortified foundation for optimizing SQL in ever more challenging situations. all day

      Optimizing Oracle SQL, Intensive On location in Dallas TX Objective: This class is a 5-day intensive combination of material that would typically be covered in 7 days. Focus is directed towards the optimizer and understanding how it behaves when developing query execution plans. The importance of optimizing SQL at the resource usage level is learned and the Hotsos SQL Test Harness and Tools Pack scripts are used to facilitate the comparison of multiple approaches to writing SQL statements to discover the "performance optimal" choice among several approaches. Different approaches to writing high performance SQL are demonstrated as well as review of database design elements that can affect performance. Target Audience: The course is designed for application developers and database administrators who want to respond faster and more permanently to Oracle system performance problems that are known to be caused by inefficient application SQL code. Whether you are wanting to learn how to write new code that performs optimally from the start or are looking to update and maintain previously written code, this course teaches you the skills you need. We take you 'under the covers' to see how and why your SQL performs as it does and lead you to understand how to most effectively provide the Oracle optimizer with the information it needs to produce optimal execution plans. Simply put, if you write SQL, this class is for you! The course is most effective for students who will be motivated to solve real Oracle system performance problems immediately upon returning to work after the course. Prerequisites: Students are expected to have a working knowledge of Oracle SQL through experience either as a database administrator or application developer. Synopsis: This course is intended to teach students a repeatable and reliable method for optimizing SQL and to assimilate the new habit of testing optimization hypotheses rapidly during the performance improvement process. Instead of relying on “rules of thumb” and hit-and-miss guessing, this course helps the student understand the inner workings of the Oracle optimizer and how SQL execution paths are determined. Particular emphasis is placed on discovering how to capture, read, and understand execution plans and how to use 10053 trace data to follow the optimizer's plan selection. The student's attention is focused not upon rote learning and superficial understanding of Oracle rules of thumb, but upon a thorough understanding how the Oracle database works. The course is not just about learning how to write SQL. The course is about arming the student with the skills to be able to scientifically determine the efficiency of any SQL statement. While the course does offer alternative ways to write SQL in many cases, the primary objective is to equip the student to determine whether a statement is optimal and to achieve a deeper understanding of the cost-based optimizer. This course presents problem-solving strategies that can be carried forward directly to common problems and customized for solving less common ones. The result is a fortified foundation for optimizing SQL in ever more challenging situations. all day
