Michael Richards, Oracle Subject Matter Expert

June 3, 2008

TOPIC: Star Transformation & Optimization
This presentation illustrates how to utilize the Star Schema for performance advantages leveraging "Star Query Transformation" vs. the traditional Third Normal Form Snowflake schema. Mike will explain how the Oracle Optimizer prunes a query's result set with its conversion of many logical joins into a single operation using Bitmap Indexes. He will also answer the question of why Bitmaps should not just be used for low cardinality and are up to 100 times faster than traditional indexes.

PRESENTER:

Tom Kyte
Oracle Corporation
Tom Kyte describes common SQL techniques he has encountered and utilizes day to day to tune query performance. Features such as scalar subqueries, using rownum (yes, to 'tune'), analytics, some hints and more will be demonstrated. Emphasis is on when they work (where the 'trick' applies) as well as when they don't work and where they do not apply. Care is taken to show these not as a "top 10 things to do" but rather techniques to keep in mind when looking at problems in general.

VP of Hotsos Entreprises, Ltd.

June 27, 2006

Business consumers of an Oracle-based application measure the success of "the system" based on the metrics of availability, response time, and throughput.
Technical support staff measure that same system success using metrics of utilization and transactions per second. These two views use different vocabulary which often leads to miscommunication, ineffective problem management, substandard performance, and over utilization of hardware resources. This presentation suggests how "the system" can be modeled as a factory, and common metrics can be established and shared among all stakeholders in simple and meaningful ways.

LI & Web SIG Meeting
Currently, application frameworks are very prominent in software development whether you work with home grown or COTS-based applications. This presentation will describe the changes from function-oriented to object-oriented to service-oriented development. Attendees will learn how having a framework helps application development with focus on some of the MVC (Model-View-Controller) based frameworks, and how component oriented development helps you work in the service-oriented framework world.

"Thick Database" Techniques in Web Architecture

August 7, 2008. 

Database independence is frequently touted as a desirable quality in applications. However, by placing logic in the database, applications require less code, run faster, and will usually place less load on the database than applications that are so called “database independent.”

The benefits of the "thick database" approach have been discussed extensively at conferences in the last year or so. What is missing is detailed information about how to implement this approach in real-world projects. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the benefits of the thick database approach as well as discussing specific details about how to implement the approach in SQL and PL/SQL with emphasis on collections and dynamic SQL/PL/SQL and will also demonstrate a 100% thick database approach to application development where all code and UI information is maintained in the database. This presentation is targeted at experienced PL/SQL developers.

Application frameworks - function oriented -to- object oriented -to- service oriented

November 21, 2006

Application frameworks these days are very prominent in software development whether you work in home grown applications or COTS based applications. In this session you will learn about the basics of how we have changed from being function oriented to object oriented to service oriented. You will understand how having a framework helps application development with focus on some of the MVC (Model-View-Controller) based frameworks today. Towards the end of the session, you will also understand how component oriented development helps you work on the service oriented framework world.

Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) with Java

October 05, 2006

There have been many articles written recently extolling the virtues of Ruby on Rails as a technology that is a "Java Killer" with regard to web application development. Claims have been made that you can develop web applications in 1/3 the time using Ruby than the time needed when using standard Java techniques. This presentation will explore these claims and discuss how you can achieve the same results using Java, MDA, "ruthless automation" and leveraging open-source frameworks
