Join us at the June 27th Database Forum as Biju Thomas presents on two topics. Meeting is sponsored by OneNeck IT Solutions.

Presentation Details

Oracle Autonomous Database – What’s the Admin’s role?

What’s the DBA’s or Admin’s role in Oracle Autonomous Database – the answer depends on who you ask. You would get answers like “No DBA required, we manage everything, you manage the application”, or “We want DBAs to focus on data security and data integration. DBA’s work closely with the business and data analytics”, or “DBAs do not have access to the Operating System or the CDB or a DBA account. There not much they can do anyway”. Is that reality? Let’s deep dive into Autonomous Database (ATP and ADW) capabilities, what it does perfect, where an Admin needs to give a hand, and what database administration tasks are still DBA responsibility.
