The Function Result Cache, added in Oracle Database 11g, offers developers a way to dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to retrieve data that is requested repeatedly by database sessions (specifically: when the same rows of a table are fetched much more frequently than they are changed). This cache is stored in the SGA, shared across all sessions in the instance, and automatically purged of "dirty data" by the Oracle Database. Every application running on Oracle Database 11g Release 1 or higher Enterprise Edition should be taking advantage of this feature. Best of all, there is minimal impact on your code to start using this feature!

This is the second in a series of four OLL Live recorded webcasts in the Oracle Data Integrator 12c: Getting Started series. There are many ways to get a flat file of data into an Oracle Database. For example, SQL*Loader is one of the proprietary tools included in many versions of Oracle Database. The problem is that other versions of other databases (such as IBM DB2, or Microsoft SQL Server) use different proprietary tools. ODI provids one standard way of importing files into many different databases. Furthermore, SQL*Loader is designed to take the data in unmodified, whereas ODI is designed to transform the data while it is being loaded. This webcast walks you through the steps that are needed to use Oracle Data Integrator Studio (ODI Studio) graphical tools to export an ASCII flat file of columnar data to an Oracle Database 12c relational table.

"Threats", "Hacking", "Attacks" are commonplace in many business cases for security related projects. Keeping out the bad guys and stopping the malicious behaviour have been the key drivers of security projects for a long time. Whilst these issues are still very real and need to be addressed, we are at a key milestone for Information Security. The explosion in the use of mobile devices, cloud computing and social media gives organisations a fantastic opportunity to better engage their prospects and customers. Join this webcast to see how Information Security can help you take advantage of these trends and exploit them to accelerate the delivery of projects and business growth.

Learn how to use SQL for Pattern Matching. Row pattern matching in native SQL improve application and development productivity and query efficiency for row-sequence analysis.Recognizing patterns in a sequence of rows has been a capability that was widely desired, but not possible with SQL until now. With Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1), you can use the MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause to perform pattern matching in SQL.

This is the first in a series of four recorded webcasts in the Oracle Data Integrator 12c: Getting Started series. Repositories are schemas and tables in a database that hold information about ODI Designs, Topologies, and Security. There is a one-to-many relationship between Master and Work repositories. The repository schemas and tables can be created either manually using ODI Studio or automatically using Repository Creation Utility (RCU). RCU is the preferred method of maintaining the repositories. The database storing the repository can be Oracle Database 12c or several other supported databases. This recording will walk you through the steps that are needed to create and connect to the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) Master Repository and the ODI Work Repository using Repository Creation Utility (RCU) and ODI Studio.

This is the third in a series of four OLL Live recorded webcasts in the Oracle Data Integrator 12c: Getting Started series. A common task that is performed using ODI is to set up and install an ODI Agent. After the ODI scenarios are created, they can be scheduled and orchestrated using an ODI Agent, which is a lightweight Java process that orchestrates the execution of ODI scenarios. This tutorial walks you through the steps that are needed to set up and install the ODI Agent. This webcast walks you through the steps that are needed to use Oracle Data Integrator Studio (ODI Studio) graphical tools to create an agent collocated with WLS to support (among other things) scheduling of procedures.

A demonstration of how Fusion Middleware can be used to build an architecture based on Oracle Event Processor, Coherence and Oracle Database for customers that have a requirement for a mixture of real-time processing, near-time analysis and long running batch analysis of the same or a similar data set. This use-case is certainly common in Financial Services where our customers need to process market and financial data in real-time as well as analyse long-term trends in large data sets. This architecture will also be applicable to any industry where the customer has requirements for analysing data at different frequencies and volumes. For example:
• Financial Services – Real-time Market and Financial data
• Commercial Banking – Customer Experience
• Retail – Real-time point of sale analysis
• Telecommunications – Real-time billing analysis
• Oil and Gas – Drilling (upstream) analysis
• Energy – Smart metering
• Logistics – Vehicle location analysis

Information is key to the success of most organisations today and as such the more information you have about your customers the better business decisions you can make.  T his means that databases (which hold the information) continue to grow in size and additional storage needs to be purchased on a regular basis to meet this growth.  In this webcast we'll look at how Storage Optimization techniques can be used to reduce the Oracle database footprint and avoid the cost of new storage and/or reclaim some of that storage for use by other systems.  We'll also take a look at some of the tools available to help you understand the likely benefit you will see from this reduced footprint and how we can work with you to look at the cost justification.
