Understanding 12c Adaptive Query Optimization

Session Abstract:

From 11g onwards, optimizer has been constantly getting enhanced. From Adaptive Cursor Sharing to Cardinality Feedback, it’s been evolving to correct the mistakes that it does.

Oracle DevOps for Dummies

Session Abstract:

Application development and IT operations teams travel different roads with different points of view. These separate roads slow the delivery of new apps and features to customers. Relations between Development and Operations are generally viewed as poor, with some even characterized as toxic.

Ready to begin your journey to DevOps? The journey to continuous everything. DevOps brings together your development and IT operations professionals early in the application process, enabling them to collaborate closely and function as an integrated team. Along the way, DevOps automates many processes so one organization isn’t left waiting on the other. Integration, automation, and collaboration are keys to DevOps success. This session is going to help Oracle Customers to understand how DevOps can benefit their business.

Oracle Data Security Introduction

Session Abstract:

Databases make very attractive targets as they have all the data neatly arranged in columns and rows, properly structured and linked with relevant information.

Hackers may try to enter from network, operating system, storage, databases, applications, storage, backups, etc. if you can sniff the wire, copy the database files from the operating system, exploit someone already in the database, or the application, you can get away with all the data. Passwords can now be obtained by the hackers as well, and you have to make sure that those privileges are not getting abused. The scope of the problem is thus slightly larger than typically what can be addressed by just encryption.

Oracle ACFS High Availability NFS Services (HANFS)

Session Abstract:

With Oracle Database 12c R1, Cloud FS includes Highly Available NFS (HANFS) over ACFS which enables highly available NFS servers to be configured using Oracle ACFS clusters. The NFS exports are exposed through Highly Available VIPs (HAVIPs), and this allows Oracle’s Clusterware agents to ensure that HAVIPs and NFS exports are always available. If the node hosting the export(s) fails, the corresponding HAVIP and hence its corresponding NFS export(s) will automatically fail over to one of the surviving nodes so that the NFS client continues to receive uninterrupted service of NFS exported paths.
