Oracle In-Memory: The Game Changer in Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence
Speaker
With 12c, Oracle adds a columnar in-memory data store to Oracle Database. This new feature results in a massive acceleration of query
execution. Even better, the columnar store is integrated transparently. Not a single line of application code, ETL, or reporting logic has to
be changed to benefit from it. This presentation assesses the application of the in-memory columnar store to the areas of data
warehousing and business intelligence. Live demonstrations show typical tasks that benefit significantly from the columnar store, and
low-hanging fruits are identified. Thus, attendees will get a clear picture of why it is to their best advantage to use the option in their
environments and how they can get the most out of it.
As business intelligence needs have evolved, Procter & Gambles existing data warehousing reporting applications that meet critical
business needs werent able to evolve eectively to meet all new BI requirements. Thus, the company needed to evolve its data
warehousing approach to establish a solid foundation that would enable native agility. It chose to implement a logical enterprise data
warehouse, using its existing data warehousing environments to build upon its successful data warehousing implementations yet deliver
new functionality quickly. At the end of this presentation, participants will have learned how logical data warehousing can be built within
and used from existing data warehouses to meet new business needs.

Using the In-Memory Columnar Store to Perform Real-Time Analysis of CERN Data
Speaker
To help physicists at CERN analyze their data more eciently, a study was done of the use of database technology to store and analyze
data recorded by the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. Because reconstructed physics objects are described with hundreds of
variables, this physics analysis database has very wide tables. Each physicist typically requires a unique combination of variables to find
the events of interest for a particular analysis, making it dicult to choose appropriate indexes for this data. This presentation shows how
Oracles new in-memory columnar store helps improve performance when analyzing this type of data.

A SQL statement that calls a PL/SQL function is slower than one that defines the same result by using only SQL expressions. The culprit
is the SQL to PL/SQL round-trip. Its cost can be reduced by marking the function deterministic, by invoking it in a scalar subquery, by
using the PL/SQL function result cache, or by some other caching scheme. With caching, you cant predict the result set if the function
isnt pure, so it would seem that caching should be used with caution. This session shows that a function must have certain properties to
be safe even without cachingin other words that the possible semantic eect of caching is a red herring. You cant rely on the ordering
and number of function invocation any more than you can rely on group by to do ordering.

Everything That Is Really Useful in Oracle Database 12c for Application Developers
Speaker
The functionality available to Oracle Database developers has evolved over all releases of Oracle Database. The improvements have
allowed for faster development, richer functionality, and better-performing code as well as clearly establishing the role of the database in
multi-tier applications and SOA architectures. Areas of recent improvement include core SQL (with inline PL/SQL), flashback, data pattern
processing, zero-downtime application upgrades, XML manipulation, JSON support, inbound and outbound HTTP processing, data
redaction, fine-grained auditing and authorization, and PL/SQL language extensions. This session demonstrates the most-useful
Database 12c features for application developers.
This session presents three case studies related to predictive analytics with the Oracle Data Mining feature of Oracle Advanced Analytics.
Service contracts cancellation avoidance with Oracle Data Mining is about predicting the contracts at risk of cancellation at least nine
months in advance. Predicting hardware opportunities that have a high likelihood of being won means identifying such opportunities at
least four months in advance to provide visibility into suppliers of required materials. Finally, predicting cloud customer churn involves
identifying the customers that are not as likely to renew.
30
Traditional database applications use SQL queries to filter, aggregate, and summarize data. This is called descriptive analytics. The next
level is predictive analytics, where hidden patterns are discovered to answer questions that give unique insights that cannot be derived
with descriptive analytics. Businesses are increasingly using machine learning techniques to perform predictive analytics, which helps
them better understand past data, predict future trends, and enable better decision-making. This session discusses how to use machine
learning algorithms such as regression, classification, and clustering to solve a few selected business use cases.
Dunnhumby is all about driving value by understanding what each individual customer wants, needs, and prefers. But insights can deliver
results only when they are appliedwhen you listen, make better decisions, and reward customers for what they do. This is true for all of
us, whether our customers are consumers or other businesses. Attend this session to hear about Dunnhumbys own internal journey to

Roger Ford - Product
Manager, Oracle
Oracle Text is the full-text search engine built into Oracle Database 12c. It enables you to search textual content in VARCHAR2, CLOB, or
BLOB columns. This presentation runs through some useful techniques for using Oracle Text. The material is technical in nature and will
suit developers and DBAs. No experience of Oracle Text is assumed, although the more advanced techniques will be aimed at expert
users.

Oracle Database 12c introduces support for the JSON data model, enabling the database to store, index, and query JSON documents.
This session introduces a series of new APIs and REST interfaces that enable application developers to easily adopt Oracle Database 12c
as their JSON document store of choice. These APIs enable a developer to work with JSON content stored in Oracle Database 12c by
using the popular and well-understood document/collection programming paradigm, removing the need to understand the intricacies of
working with JDBC and large object types (LOBs). The APIs will be available from Java as well as several popular web-based
programming languages.

JSON has been widely adopted as a mechanism for persisting structured and semistructured data in recent years. Application developers
are particularly attracted to the dynamic schema and the nature of JSON, which enables them to evolve their application data model at
will. This session shows how new features in Oracle Database 12c Release 12.1.0.2 enable the database to be used as a JSON document
store. It also discusses how Oracle Database 12c delivers storage, indexing and query ability, performance, and full lifecycle support for
JSON data while still providing all the flexibility that makes JSON so attractive to developers.

Garret Swart - Architect, Oracle
For most companies, big data feeds include point-of-sale records; call detail records; and financial, medical, and intelligence data stored
in Oracle databases, but MapReduce algorithms and patterns such as clustering (k-means), classification (naive Bayes), and
recommenders are very hard to implement with SQL alone. Furthermore, shipping data to Hadoop incurs latency and carries scalability,
integrity, and security issues. This session describes how to implement near-real-time analytics with the In-Database MapReduce feature
of Oracle Database 12c, which accesses and processes data in place, directly in RDBMS tables, with Hadoop and SQL. The ability to
reuse existing Hadoop assets and exposing MapReduce job steps as SQL functions shield DBAs and developers from having to learn
Hadoop.

How Fast Data Is Turned into Fast Information and Timely Action
Speaker
Fast data is big data, continuously streaming in, from which information is to be learned in (near) real time. This session demonstrates
how Oracle Event Processing is used to analyze live streams of data to find patterns, deviations, and aggregates. The findings are
reported in the form of business events that are pushed in live dashboards to Oracle Business Activity Monitoring, which also evaluates
business rules on the business events and takes action when required. Examples to be demonstrated in this session include car sensors,

website trac, Twitter feeds, and bank run detection. Oracle SOA Suite 12c, WebSockets, Oracle Application Development Framework
(Oracle ADF) active data visualization tools components, and JMS are used to process, forward, and act.

Analytics encompasses structured data in data warehouses, less-structured data in data reservoirs typically running in Hadoop, and data
from real-time events. Integrating data across systems is critical to big data analytics. In this session, learn about the fast, secure, and
simple-to-use features for big data integration in Oracle Data Integrator, Oracle GoldenGate, and Oracle Big Data Connectors. These have
native support for leading Hadoop technologies and are optimized for connectivity with Oracle Database. Learn how to address and
simplify data integration use cases such as bulk data transfer across systems, real-time replication, database access to data in Hadoop,
and Hadoop access to data in the database, using these solutions.

Delivering a high-quality customer experience is essential for long-term profitability and customer retention in the communications
industry. Although service-providers own a wealth of customer data within their systems, the sheer volume and complexity of the data
structures inhibit their ability to extract the full value of the information. To change this situation, service providers are increasingly turning
to a new generation of business intelligence tools. This session begins by discussing the key market challenges for business analytics
and continues by exploring Oracles approach to meeting these challenges, including the use of predictive analytics, big data, and social
network analytics.

The term big data draws a lot of attention, but behind the hype there's a simple story. For decades, companies have been making
business decisions based on transactional data stored in relational databases. Beyond that critical data, however, is a potential
treasure trove of less structured data: weblogs, social media, email, sensors, and photographs that can be mined for useful
information.
Oracle oers the broadest and most integrated portfolio of products to help you acquire and organize these diverse data sources
and analyze them alongside your existing data to find new insights and capitalize on hidden relationships.
