KEYNOTE: Transforming Data Management with Oracle Database 12c Release 2
Oracle Database is renowned for delivering the performance, reliability, and security that customers demand for their business applications. In this session, we’ll discuss how the latest release, Oracle Database 12c Release 2, can transform the way we manage enterprise data, and benefit from real time analytics, big data insights and the Cloud.

Willie has been in IT for more than 30 years, specialized in relational database technologies for more than 25 years, and has worked with Oracle Database since version 5.
DBA TRACK: What’s New in Data Pump for Oracle Database 12c Release 2?
Oracle Data Pump is one of the most widely used features by Oracle DBAs. In this session learn how Oracle Database 12c Release 2 brings significant enhancements that will drastically improve performance and usability for Oracle Data Pump exports and imports. Greatly enhanced parallelism, additional functionality for network mode operations, and more file handling options are among the enhancements that are discussed in this session. The experts from the Oracle Data Pump development team provide all the details and performance numbers in this very technical session.
Roy Swonger
Roy Swonger has worked for Oracle for 22 years including work on software process and quality
improvement as well as a progression of management roles in technical documentation, software
development tools, and core database technologies. Roy has managed the Database Upgrade &
Utilities in the Server Technologies division for more than 10 years. In this capacity, he is responsible for the development of database features such as the Data Pump, SQL*Loader, External Tables, and Transportable Tablespaces.
DEVELOPER TRACK: Version Control for PL/SQL using Git
Version management of the PL/SQL source code in the Oracle Database has always been challenging. Database programmers lack the tools and utilities that make version control easy for developers who code with file based programming languages such as Java and JavaScript. In fact, this is one of the primary reasons why large software teams avoid writing code in PL/SQL. In this presentation, you will learn how you can use Git, the prominent open source version control software, to manage your PL/SQL source code. Using these techniques, you can manage your source code in the Oracle Database just like any other development team manages their file based source code written in languages like Java, JavaScript or C#.

DEVELOPER TRACK: Analyze This! Practical Examples of Oracle Analytical Functions
If you’ve ever struggled with a particularly complex reporting request from an applications developer – for instance, returning just a specific set of rows from a subset of rows already extracted, or creating the equivalent of a Microsoft Excel pivot table, or producing a report with subtotals and subsections just like a spreadsheet – then this session is just right for you. We’ll demonstrate the basics of how to produce these complex output matrices with just a few calls to Oracle 12cR1 analytic functions and discuss how you applications developers (as well as Oracle DBAs) can leverage them for deeper insights into your database, and the performance of its application workloads. The presentation will offer real-world examples of how best to deploy these features, including detailed sample code that you can put to immediate use.

DBA TRACK: What’s New in Oracle Database 12c Release 2
Designed for the cloud, Oracle Database 12c has been the most rapidly adopted release in over a decade. In this session, we’ll provide a technical introduction to what’s new in Oracle Database 12c Release 2.

DEVELOPER TRACK: Who’s Down wit’ MPP? Hadoop and the PostRelational Revolution
We are now in the Big Data era thanks to an explosion in the Volume, Velocity and Variety of data. We are also now in the Post-Relational era thanks to a proliferation of options for handling Big Data more naturally and efficiently than Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS). That’s not to say that we’re done with RDBMS; rather that RDBMS will be used primarily for Transactional systems, which is what they were designed for and are optimally suited for. Big Data systems are better handled by technologies like Hadoop, HBase, Cassandra, MongoDB, etc. These technologies provide scale out, Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architectures, which are essential for Big Data systems (though sacrificing some of what is essential for Transactional systems – such as availability or ACID compliance). This presentation will discuss the rise of Hadoop and other MPP technologies and where they fit into an enterprise architecture in the Big Data era.

DBA TRACK: Hybrid Oracle Cloud Architecture : Your Foundation for Enterprise Cloud
In this technical, interactive session, Cintra will cover the key tenets to transforming your on-premise architecture into an “as a service” platform, building a roadmap to adopting Public Cloud assets where appropriate, and ultimately a Hybrid Cloud architecture which provides greater degrees of security, performance, scalability and availability.

DEVELOPER TRACK: Developer’s Approach to Code Management
The importance of adequate code management is well-understood by anybody in the IT. Unfortunately, the practical implementation of this concept is usually left to be defined by managers and administrators, while people who actually write code (i.e. developers) are kept outside of the discussion and just being told what to do. As a result, too often whatever is approved has lots of flaws: limited scope/low flexibility/high rigidity etc. This presentation is the attempt to switch sides and show code management from the developer’s point of view. It stays outside of various VCS solutions and focuses on hands-on approaches: activity control via system triggers, conditional compilation, synonym manipulation, utilization of Edition-Based Redefinition (EBR). Overall, the goal of this presentation is to show how code management can assist developers instead of being an
obstacle that everybody is trying to avoid or sneak under. More than a decade of continuous support of a large government system provides lots of real-life stories to share and to learn.
