Web SIG

This is a joint BI/DW & Web SIG meeting.

Date: Thursday January 20, 2011
Time: 6:00 - 7:30 pm

Location:
APRESS
233 Spring Street, 6th Floor
New York, New York 10013

Topic: "APEX: Interactive Reports: An under the cover analysis"

Abstract: Application Express provides a lot of wonderful features with Interactive Reports (IR) that allow end-users to develop their own custom
reports. The question for developers is how to "break-in" to the black box to customize the interactive reports and use them the most effectively.
This presentation will show attendees how the interactive reports are generated and managed by Oracle. In addition, discussion will revolved
around best practices and considerations when developing with IR's.

Presenter: Josh Millinger started at Oracle in 1995 as member of the Program Capture Team, a division dedicated to supporting System Integrators as
they vied for large Government Contracts. Soon after, he became highly involved in building web applications for internal use. These applications helped manage the Oracle partner community, assisted in event registration, and provided an online data center hardware/software management system. It was during this time that Application Express became a focal point of his expertise.
In 2003, Josh began the Partner Technology Center located in Reston,VA. The PTC was designed to help Oracle's partners understand how Oracle's technology could help them solve real world problems. Classes he helped develop and teach included Application Express, Oracle Business Intelligence, Application Server, and Real Application Clusters. Josh left Oracle in 2006 to become a consultant evangelizing Oracle technology and formed Niantic Systems, LLC with Raj Mattamal, in 2007. Niantic's customers span many industries including Higher Education, Construction, Healthcare, and Commercial Business.
His education includes a undergraduate Computer Science degree from the University of Wisconsin, and a Masters degree in Computer Science
from the Johns Hopkins University

DBA SIG

Topic: RMAN - Don't Forget the Basics
 

Date: Friday February 3, 2012
Time: 12:00 PM -1:00 PM EDT
Location: Webinar

Abstract : This webinar will discuss the bare bones RMAN setup items that will bulletproof your image backups. There are many emerging bells and whistles with 11gR2. This session will present the top 10 setup items that are fundamental to writing recoverable RMAN backups from day one. After the basic setup, the technologist can move on to leverage some of the new-fangled functionality of this legacy but developing backup solution. Topics covered include: present configuration and implementation items. use of a recovery catalog, block change tracking, restore database validate, and the ultimate configuration requirement-controlfile autobackup. If you read the fine print in the documentation, you would find assumptions of setup items that are expected to be in place to allow feature XYZ to work as documented. The nature of those assumptions is at the heart of this webinar. The target audience is beginner to experienced.

Michael S Abbey is a seasoned practitioner in the CORE Oracle database arena. He is well-voiced in Oracle from 5.1.22 to the emerging solution soon to be called Database 12c. Michael is an author in the Oracle Press series, with most of his success being the Beginner's Guide suite of books dating back to Oracle7 in 1995. Michael is a frequent presenter at user group and vendor events and has keynoted at a half dozen events in the past. He has a refreshing presentation style and attendees at his sessions come away with new-fangled skills to practice in the workplace. He also is the proud owner of 2 Fender guitars and 7 sets of Converse Pink Floyd sneakers.

Topic: What Oracle Can Tell You About Your Applications

Date: Friday, October 28, 2011
Time: 12:00 PM -1:00 PM EDT
Location: Webinar

Abstract : For most database administrators, monitoring performance means checking that nothing is horribly wrong with waits or locks or the top 5 SQL statements by CPU, logical I/Os, or physical I/Os. For most developers, the database is something fairly abstract, usually at the root of their performance issues, for which the usual panacea is called "indexing". When they meet, they have trouble reconciling their visions and looking for solutions or improvements. But in fact Oracle can tell more about the application it runs than the top waits or the top SQL statements - even if you have to read between the lines. I'll try to briefly take you through a few analysis that can be made and can help DBAs and developers to discuss more effectively.

Stéphane Faroult first discovered relational databases and the SQL language back in 1983. He joined Oracle France in their early days (after a brief spell with IBM and a bout of teaching at the University of Ottawa) and soon developed an interest in performance and tuning topics. After leaving Oracle in 1988, he briefly tried to reform and did a bit of operational research, but after one year, he succumbed again to relational databases. He has been continuously performing database consultancy since then, and founded RoughSea Ltd in 1998. He is the author of "The Art of SQL" and of "Refactoring SQL Applications", both published by O'Reilly, and painfully tries, on the Youtube roughsealtd channel, to teach databases in a more entertaining way than the college classes that were so obviously skipped by some developers (note to those who are deprived of Youtube at work: most videos are also available on konagora.com).
