Oracle Database 12c delivers big data and data warehousing for the Enterprise

By -
We have just released a series of five short video interviews with George Lumpkin, Vice President of Product Management, on the new 12c features that related to big data and data warehousing. I am pleased to see the new SQL pattern matching capabilities get in mention in chapter 2 - a quick recap if you missed my recent blog posts
SQL Pattern Matching introduces a new SQL syntax, along with optimized performance, for detecting patterns in a sequence of events stored in a database table. For example, one might want to look for trends in a stock price, or for suspicious behavior stored in activity log. With Oracle 12c, these queries can be expressed in a simple syntax, without requiring recursive joins or other complex SQL constructs.
For more information on SQL pattern matching visit the home page on OTN (click here).
In the section on easier management, chapter 3, George discusses the new partitioning features that we have added to make general maintenance and information lifecycle management operations much easier.
Oracle Database 12c now allows partition maintenance operations on multiple partitions as single atomic operation: for example, you can merge the three partitions ‘January 2012’, ‘February 2012’, and ‘March 2012’ into a single partition ‘Q1 2012’ with a single merge partition operation.

We haves extended the concept of partition-based information lifecyle management with the addition of Automatic Data Optimization (ADO). This allows you to define policies that specify when storage tiering and compression tiering should be implemented for a given partition, based on the usage statistics automatically collected by Heat Map. 
ADO policies are automatically evaluated and executed by the Oracle Database without any manual intervention required, making it possible to experience the cost savings and performance benefits of storage tiering and compression without creating complex scripts and jobs. For more information on partitioning visit the home page on OTN (click here).
So, if you want to know more about how 12c can benefit your data warehousing and big data projects then listen to these five short video interviews:

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. Storage costs, social media awareness, software application migration — they are all big problems. And, not surprisingly, Oracle is trying to address them. Last week I sat down with Mark V. Hurd, Oracle’s co-president, for a talk about Oracle’s strategy. Most of his conversation had to do with the problems facing big companies as they adapt to a world of mobile devices, cloud computing and

SQL Pattern Matching Deep Dive - Part 1

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
