Oracle University und Digicomp präsentieren:
Tom Kyte in Switzerland |
|
21. und 22. September 2006
Nach dem erfolgreichen Seminar im Dezember 2005 freuen wir uns, dass wir auch dieses Jahr im Herbst ein 2-tägiges Seminar mit Tom Kyte anbieten können.
Nutzen Sie Ihre Chance ! Treffen Sie Tom Kyte – DIE Oracle Datenbank Legende!
- Things you «know»
Abstract: Many developers and DBAs (not all, but many) approach the
database with little or no understanding of how it actually works.
Developers approach Oracle assuming it must work just like SQL Server or
even worse with the frame of mind that says, «It doesn't matter how it
works, I'm using a layer of abstraction to protect me.» DBAs approach
the server sometimes with a cursory knowledge of how things work,
leading them to do things like, «We can skip backing up undo data-it
isn't our stuff, we don't need it» or erasing archives because they ran
out of space.
This presentation will present some of these foibles and explain how not
understanding how the database actually works will lead to disaster.
Some examples of things you just might not know about yourself will be
explored. Oracle is big and it is a moving target. Understanding it is
an ongoing process that we need to continually do.
- Advanced analytic functions
Analytic functions are the coolest thing to happen to the SQL language
since the introduction of the keyword SELECT. This session explores the
use cases for analytic functions, demonstrates how and where you should
use them, and explains the (nontrivial) syntax behind them.
- Efficient schema design
Based entirely on chapter 7 of Tom's book «Effective Oracle by Design»,
this session takes you through the fundamentals of physical schema
design. It demonstrates the various structures (hash clusters, B*-tree
clusters, index-organized tables, ...) and tells when and where you want
to use them. The session closes with indexing and compression techniques.
- PL/SQL or Java?
Is one language «better» than the other? Or maybe there is room for
both? This session explores when you might want to use one over the other
- SQL Techniques
The presenter will describe 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 will be on when they work (where the
'trick' applies) as well as when they don't workwhere they do not apply.
Care will be 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.
- Building test cases
When you say «it doesn't work», or «it isn't working right», you will
need to build a small, concise, yet 100% complete test case that
demonstrates the issue at hand (and removes all of the irrelevant bits).
This session walks through how Tom Kyte builds his own test cases -- and
how he many times finds his own mistakes in the development of them
(such as: it wasn't a database bug in the first place!) - or, even if it
turns out to be a problem in the database, how the development of the
test case often leads to finding a workable «workaround».
- Oracle 10/g/: Bits and bytes
This session covers some Oracle 10/g/ features that are really «cool»
but not played up in the Oracle marketing messages. Mundane features
that make our day to day lives that much nicer. Presented as a top 10
for 10g Release 1 and top ten for 10g Release 2
- Versioning of data
A common requirement today is to maintain a /complete/ history of data:
/every/ change made to a row over time, for /all/ rows in a table or set
of tables. This session explores the methods available to do this, from
«do it yourself» versioning (via triggers/application code) to letting
the database do it for you with workspace management. Key focuses of
this session are time to develop, performance, and implementation
