OLL Live webcast - Using SQL for Pattern Matching in Oracle Database

By -
You've visited our new web page on OTN, you've downloaded the pattern matching iBook, now register for the webcast!

If you are interested in learning about our exciting new 12c SQL pattern matching feature then mark your diaries. On Wednesday, October 30th at 8:00 am (US/Pacific time zone) Supriya Ananth, who is one of our top curriculum developers at Oracle, will be hosting an OLL webcast on our new SQL pattern matching feature.

The ability to recognize patterns in a sequence of rows has been a capability that was widely desired, but not possible with SQL until now. Row pattern matching in native SQL improves application and development productivity and query efficiency for row-sequence analysis.

With Oracle Database 12c you can use the new MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause to perform pattern matching in SQL to do the following:
  • Logically partition and order the data using the PARTITION BY and ORDER BY clauses
  • Use regular expressions syntax to define patterns of rows to seek using the PATTERN clause. These patterns a powerful and expressive feature, applied to the pattern variables you define.
  • Specify the logical conditions required to map a row to a row pattern variable in the DEFINE clause.
  • Define measures, which are expressions usable in the MEASURES clause of the SQL query.

My query just got faster - brief introduction to 12.2 in-memory cursor duration temp tables

Image courtesy of wikipedia This post covers one of the new SQL performance enhancements that we incorporated into Database 12c Release 2 . All of these enhancements are completely automatic, i.e. transparent to the calling app/developer code/query. These features are enabled by default because who doesn’t want their queries running faster with zero code changes? So in this post I am going to focus on the new In-Memory “cursor duration” temporary table  feature. Let’s start by looking at cursor duration temp tables… Above image courtesy of wikimedia.org What is a cursor duration temp table? This is a feature that has been around for quite a long time. Cursor duration temporary tables (CDTs) are used to materialize intermediate results of a query to improve performance or to support complex multi step query execution. The following types of queries commonly use cursor duration temp tables: WITH Clause and parallel recursive WITH Grouping Sets Star Trans

Data Warehouse and Big Data - Highlights from Oracle OpenWorld Day 2 Welcome to this online review of day two of Oracle OpenWorld 2012. Our aim is to keep you up to date on all the press reports, blog posts, analyst reports and related activities from this year's conference. Oracle: Big Business Has Big Data Woes (New York Times Interview) Business, the way you’re working will kill you.

There has been quite a lot of interest in the new 12c MATCH_RECOGNIZE feature for SQL pattern matching. Therefore, I thought now would be the perfect time to start a series of quick deep dive posts that explain how SQL pattern matching works. Over the coming weeks I will cover the following topics in a series of posts. This is the start of a series of posts based on a presentation that I put together for the recent annual  BIWA conferenc e at Oracle HQ. The Oracle BI, DW and Analytics user community always puts on a great conference and this year was the best yet. You can download any or all of the presentations from this year’s conference by following this link . My pattern matching deep dive presentation started life about a year ago as a post covering some of the new keywords in the explain plan that are linked to pattern matching, see here . It has now expanded to cover a much wider range of topics. Firstly, a huge vote of thanks to my development team (Lei Sheng and Chun-Chie
