"Oracle9iAS
Technical Overview" This presentation provides
an in-depth overview of the technical features of Oracle9iAS.
It covers areas
including:
· J2EE and Transactional Web Applications
· Web Services
· Integration
· Portal
· Wireless
· Business Intelligence
· Performance
· Salability and High Availability
· Management and Security
The paper discusses industry standards and Oracle enhancements
in each solution area. In addition, it describes some
sample customer cases of customers using Oracle9iAS.
"Oracle
Backup and Recovery Essentials Every DBA Should Know"
As the amount of Oracle data increases exponentially and
backup windows are disappearing, there is a distinct need
to have a sound database backup and recovery strategy
so that your Oracle data is protected and readily available
in the present and in the future. This presentation will
discuss in detail the technical fundamentals and essentials
that every Oracle DBA should know and follow when creating
their Oracle RMAN backup, restore, and recovery strategy.
Alternative Oracle backup methods such as Block Level
Incremental Backup, split mirror backup, and ServerFree
backup will also be discussed. The Oracle RMAN backup
and recovery strategy that will be discussed will be useful
to all Oracle DBAs, whether they are responsible for managing
a small one-gigabyte database or a large multi-terabyte
database.
"Making
the move from ANALYZE to DBMS_STATS"
Since the new statistics
manipulating and gathering package became available in
Oracle 8.1.6, we took the direction of moving away from
using ANALYZE and use this facility for collecting CBO
statistics. Our motivation to implement this strategy
for all our database and the experience obtained with
implementing with be discussed.
"Information
Integration Using Oracle Streams"
Oracle Streams is a new information integration feature
and infrastructure introduced in Oracle9i Database Release
2. Information integration is critical for identifying
and capturing information from applications and databases,
and passing that information to applications, databases,
and end users who value it. Streams is a feature that
can be used to build sophisticated database replication
and event notification solutions. As the foundation for
Oracle Advanced Queuing and Oracle Data Guard in SQL Apply
mode, Streams is a common infrastructure for all information
integration solutions in the database. This allows users
to easily migrate from one solution to another, and to
build hybrid solutions that leverage the strengths of
replication and message queuing. This presentation will
present an overview of Streams, describe the underlying
technology, and introduce some of the solutions you can
build using Streams. It will also present how some early
adopters are using (or planning to use) Streams to solve
their information integration requirements.
"Oracle
9iAS Release 2 Update" This presentation introduces
the theme and key messages Release 2 of Oracle9iAS. It
discusses key new features in all major areas of the application
server including:
· Transactional Web Applications
· Web Services
· Integration
· Portal
· Wireless
· Business Intelligence
· Performance
· Salability and High Availability
· Management and Security
"Top
Tips for Web-Deployed Forms" Web-deploying your
Forms applications is straightforward, but you must be
aware of the things that work differently from client/server
and the things that just don't work. This presentation
provides the top tips and techniques you need to focus
on when deploying forms on the Web. It supplies details
on what to think about when designing an application as
well as how to optimize code and objects to run efficiently
within a browser. Details such as startup HTML file parameters,
reducing the initial startup time and the "Oracle
look and feel" are demonstrated and discussed.
The presentation also supplies tips on things you need
to avoid or modify when moving forms from client/server
to the Web -- some of which are documented, some derived
only from experience. The presentation also provides an
overview of the architecture as well as a discussion of
resources that are available for information on the subject.
"PL/SQL
Native Compilation, an Implementation Story"
Starting in Oracle9i it
is possible to compile your PL/SQL stored procedures into
native machine code on your database server. Oracle documentation
claims that natively compiled procedures can run up to
ten times faster than interpreted PL/SQL code. We will
begin this session with a brief overview of the native
compilation feature, and continue on to discuss my experiences
on a project where a production application including
over 35,000 lines of complex PL/SQL code was natively
compiled. We'll talk about the actual performance improvements
observed, system stability, and the inevitable unexpected
issues that popped up along the way.
"Oracle
Text" is an integrated solution for advanced
searches of standard text and many document formats. This
presentation introduces Oracle Text and its features,
compares functionality with interMedia, and demonstrates
how Oracle Text can be used to enhance your application
We will review the 3 types of indexes available, discuss
multilingual features, and explore many of the functions
and operators available to enhance your searches.
"Oracle
XML Support" This presentation provides an in-depth
overview of the technical features of Oracle9i XML Support.
It covers areas including:
· Oracle XML Developer's Kits
· Oracle9i XDB
· iDAP and SOAP XML Messaging Support
. 9iAS XML Support
· Oracle9i JDeveloper XML Support
We will discuss the XML enterprise strategies, demonstrate
Oracle9i XML Features and explore how the Oracle XML Solutions
can be used to enhance your enterprise application.
