Presentation #1: DBA 2.0 Is Dead. Long Live DBA 3.0!
So you are your company”s newest (or oldest) Oracle DBA. You’ve spent your spare time between the usual crises of the day getting ready to move to Oracle 12c Release 2 as soon as possible…and now your CIO and CTO are bugging you about moving everything to the Cloud to reduce costs, and you’re still trying to figure out what the difference is between CAPEX and OPEX. It’s enough to make you wonder if your Oracle DBA role will still be around in 2017!
This presentation will offer up some insights into how five key trends in the IT industry – Cloud, Big Data, IoT, Security, and Reshoring – are having an impact on the role of the Oracle DBA within their IT organizations, and how it’s crucial to transform yourself into a Cloud DBA in 2017.
Presentation #2: Stop Guessing, Start Analyzing: New Analytic View Features in Oracle Database 12cR2
As experienced Oracle DBAs know, building a Data Warehouse is just the beginning of any successful application for performing complex analytics – you’ve also got to build the proper analytic views, fact tables, dimensions, and queries to make sense of the DW’s data. Oracle 12cR2 now provides a simple way to build out just the right objects for an analytics environment using just a few simple commands. Best of all, these new objects can incorporate all the needed measures and calculations so that an application end-user can take advantage of precisely-defined data models without having to construct complex views on their own, thus limiting the chance of producing erroneous analyses through a simple mistake like a missing join or filter.
