While at the Oracle CloudWorld conference, I had a chance to sit down with Seema Verma, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Oracle Health.  In this wide ranging interview, we cover a broad range of topics starting with her journey from CMS to now one of the leaders of Oracle Health.  Plus, she shares the vision for Oracle Health going forward. Given we're a couple years into Oracle Health's acquisition of Cerner, I wanted to check-in with Verma on the progress they've made merging Cerner into Oracle Health.  Plus, I ask her what long time Cerner users should know about what's happening at Oracle Health and what they can expect going forward.  She talks more about their new EHR and that more details will be shared at the Oracle Health Summit later this month.

On this episode of Six Five On the Road at Oracle CloudWorld 2024, hosts Daniel Newman and Patrick Moorhead are joined by Oracle's Jason Maynard, Executive VP, Revenue Operations for a conversation on Oracle's unique approach to artificial intelligence. Their discussion covers: The foundational elements that distinguish Oracle's AI strategy from competitors. How Oracle integrates AI across its product and service offerings. The role of data privacy and security in Oracle's AI developments. Oracle's vision for the future of AI in enterprise solutions. Real-world applications and success stories of Oracle's AI technology.  

De cloud is volop in beweging. Dat was vorige week tijdens Oracle #CloudWorld in Las Vegas ook weer heel erg duidelijk zichtbaar. Wij waren erbij en bespraken aan het einde van die week de stand van zaken met Wilfred Scholman van Oracle. Wil je weten hoe de multi-cloud er in 2024 uitziet, ook vanuit Nederlands perspectief, luister dan naar deze aflevering. Tijdens Oracle CloudWorld ging het uiteraard veel over #AI. Wat ons betreft waren alle aankondigingen en sessies daarover weliswaar interessant, maar niet het belangrijkste. Dat was zonder twijfel de aankondiging dat #Oracle en #AWS na vele jaren de strijdbijl hebben begraven. De twee bedrijven kondigden namelijk gezamenlijk Oracle Database@AWS aan. Er komt dus Oracle-hardware in datacenters van AWS te staan. De Autonomous Database en Exadata van Oracle waren al beschikbaar binnen de datacenters van Microsoft #Azure en #Google Cloud, maar nu dus ook binnen de "populairste public cloud" van allemaal, AWS. Dat zijn overigens niet onze woorden, maar die van AWS-CEO Matt Garman, vorige week op het podium tijdens Oracle CloudWorld, in een gesprek met Larry Ellison. Dat AWS, dat lange tijd vooral heeft geprobeerd om alles wat met Oracle te maken had, met chirurgische precisie uit de eigen datacenters had gehaald op het podium stond bij Oracle, was al erg bijzonder. Dat iemand in aanwezigheid van Ellison expliciet niet Oracle maar AWS als aanbieder van de populairste cloud benoemde, deed de oren nog wat harder klapperen.Open multi-cloud eraDe stap die Oracle en AWS gezamenlijk hebben gezet is eigenlijk alleen maar logisch. Allereerst omdat de Oracle Database inmiddels al in Microsoft Azure en Google Cloud beschikbaar is. Dat gebeurt niet voor de lol, dat is omdat er kennelijk voldoende klanten zijn om dit interessant te maken voor de deelnemende partijen. Er zijn ongetwijfeld ook veel AWS-klanten die de Oracle Database gebruiken.Daarnaast is het steeds duidelijker dat er relatief weinig klanten zijn die alles bij dezelfde partij afnemen of willen afnemen. Veel organisaties gebruiken meerdere clouds. Dan is het niet meer dan logisch dat die clouds beter met elkaar gaan samenwerken. Daar is de samenwerking tussen Oracle en AWS een volgend voorbeeld van. Of dit ook betekent dat er een Interconnect komt tussen Oracle en AWS (die er al is met Azure en GCP), is nog niet duidelijk. Maar dat zou een volgende stap kunnen zijn.Volgens Ellison is de aankondiging van vorige week het teken dat het 'open #multi-cloud tijdperk' echt is begonnen. Coen en Sander bespreken in een podcast opgenomen in Las Vegas tijdens CloudWorld wat dit betekent. Dit doen ze met Wilfred Scholman van Oracle. Wilfred is country lead voor Oracle Nederland, maar heeft ook een interessante Europese functie. Daar hebben we het ook zeker over in deze nieuwe aflevering van #Techzine Talks.

AI is dominating the tech industry, from new LLMs being released to new startups being formed to who will have the most GPUs.  The multi-cloud and AI announcements dominated Oracle's flagship annual conference this week. Today's edition covers all essential products and features announced during the CloudWorld 2024 but before I start the highlights from this week's conference, let me give you some context as it reminded the keynote during the 2022 conference. The 'Internet of clouds' statement made by Oracle CTO Larry Ellison during the opening keynote at Oracle CloudWorld 2022 enables customers to choose cloud services from various vendors and to go for the best cloud service from the cloud vendors. The words that stuck in my mind were "Internet of clouds." What does it mean that, as he said, we need to build clouds like the Internet, which are interconnected and interoperable? Customers have all the choices of services, irrespective of what the vendors are; they are connected. And if I recall, a couple of years back, the discussion in which I covered in Podcast: 105 – Multi-cloud benefits, challenges, and adoption, that one of the fundamental problems we are having in the adoption of the cloud is silo clouds. The complete AI Tech Circle Newsletter is available on the below link: Oracle CloudWorld 2024 Recap: What You Need to Know Covering: AI Multi-cloud OCI Infrastrcture & PaaS Industry Apps   Resources: 105 – Multi-cloud benefits, challenges, and adoption A holistic framework for evaluating foundation models Oracle CloudWorld 2024 keynotes

Before you listen to this epsidoe, give yourself 5 minutes to read an incredible story. One of the defining moments of the Afghanistan War occurred in a mere second inside a single battle that raged for 7 hours. Then 37-year-old United States Army Captain Will Swenson found himself a commander in what would become known as the Battle of Ganjgal. An early morning meeting connecting the Afghan government with native elders in the Ganjgal Valley near the border of Pakistan turned into a brutal ambush of Swenson's 100-person coalition. Surrounded by as many as 60 well-armed Taliban fighters unleashing a barrage of rocket-propelled grenades, mortar, and machine gun fire, repeated calls for overheard artillery support were denied for fear of civilian casualties. Denied all day, in fact, while Swenson and his men fended for themselves under unrelenting artillery fire. Rare helmet-cam footage from a medical evacuation team caught much of the extraordinary scene. Including Swenson repeatedly waving a bright orange flag to guide a military rescue helicopter into a safe landing zone to retrieve the injured and pull out the dead. Swenson waved the brightly colored flag throughout the day, making himself a highly visible target to enemy fighters but ensuring the helicopter could load injured and dying men to receive medical attention. At one point, we see Captain Swenson loading Sergeant Kenneth Westbrook into the chopper. Westbrook, a father of three, had been shot in the neck and was bleeding heavily. He also had four broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a shattered left shoulder. He would die 29 days later from these injuries. But this day, Swenson hoped he could be saved. He is seen carrying Westbrook onto the helicopter, and the GoPro camera on the med evac's helmet captured another fleeting moment almost no one would have seen. Swenson is seen leaning into the helicopter and giving Westbrook a kiss on his cheek before the helicopter side door closes. A moment never intended to be captured on film. A moment Swenson himself hardly remembered. A moment of true leadership. Swenson's kiss on a battlefield was a catalyst for Dr. Kirstin Ferguson to write her latest book, Head & Heart: The Art of Modern Leadership. Our own Jess Von Bank met Dr. Ferguson at Oracle CloudWorld just weeks ago. Dr. Ferguson was fresh out of books that afternoon after a successful book signing, so she sent one to the restaurant to be handed to Jess later at dinner. Jess carried the book all over Las Vegas that night, dying to tear into its pages, and today they finally bring this conversation to the Now of Work community. ON THIS EPISODE, WAIT UNTIL YOU MEET Dr. Ferguson. Former Flying Officer in the Royal Australian Air Force herself, she went on to become a PhD in Organizational Psychology, CEO of a global consulting firm, and best-selling global leadership expert on the impact of leading from the head and the heart.

In this episode, Matt Bradley, Oracle's SVP of Development, joins hosts Minie and Nihar Parikh at Oracle CloudWorld.

In this spontaneous podcast review on the final afternoon of Oracle CloudWorld 2023, Jon Reed and Brian Sommer compare what they learned, culminating in Sommer's quip, "You may have to partner with your enemy, because that's what your customer wants." Customers definitely want more vendor options in their strategic mix - did CloudWorld support that premise? Is Oracle's generative AI messaging differentiated? Does Oracle have an industry applications advantage from their acquisitions, which go well beyond Cerner? And: did Larry Ellison's strong keynote push on healthcare resonate? These are some of the topics we hash out during this 25 minute recap. Production note: Jon's audio was a bit quiet due to a tech glitch, worked on tweaking that as best possible in post production, hopefully it will be solid enough for this time around.

We're on the Road to Oracle CloudWorld. From September 18-21 in Las Vegas, Oracle will bring together its customers and partners. Acceleration Economy's Road to Oracle CloudWorld series will feature Oracle execs previewing what's to come at this year's conference. For this podcast, I spoke with Peter Jazowick, CIO, Specialized Bicycle Components, who will be a featured speaker at the event. Road to Oracle CloudWorld | A Cloud-First TransitionThe Big ThemesPandemic innovation opportunities: Specialized Bicycle Components experienced accelerated sales and a difficult supply chain during the pandemic. It was a chance for Oracle to be utilized as a strategic partner. The company transitioned to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and had a cloud-first approach as it tackled its issues. Reliability and scalability of platforms became paramount to support and enable the business.Technical debt focus: Technical debt was addressed in part by investing in technology and partnering with Oracle's Customer Success Services (CSS), which led to accelerated project delivery and increased support satisfaction.Co-creation with business: Specialized's global technology 2027 strategy has a focused theme on co-creation with business. Business and technology leadership will work together and co-create to have alignment and accountability across the board. Jazowick sees this as critical in order to build morale and increase delivery across the company.The Big Quote: ” . . . subscription-based models or pay-as-you-go models, those are all opportunities that we didn't have pre-pandemic . . . And as we . . . brought in and transformed our B2B platform with CX [customer experience] commerce with Oracle, and really drove growth with the partnership with our retailers, that allowed us to look at those other business models and [have] technology empower and accelerate those areas. “

Road to Oracle CloudWorld | IAC's Oracle JourneyThe Big ThemesIAC's use of Oracle Technology: IAC, a conglomerate of diverse companies, employs various Oracle products to streamline transactions, accounting, finance, and reporting, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. It historically used third-party hosting facilities but has migrated everything to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).Innovation and growth: Oracle applications provide tools for intricate revenue and lease accounting rules, negating the need for third-party systems. This approach offers better control, compliance, and cost-effectiveness and promotes innovation and growth.Enhancing Employee and Customer Experiences: All end users, including employees, should be considered customers. Oracle's technology enables smoother experiences by improving backend systems. An example is given of a significant reduction in processing time for a specific report.The Big Quote: “So, with various 606 revenue rules, with various 842 lease accounting rules, the Oracle applications allow us to expand and utilize the functionality that's inherently available in the applications, therefore allowing us not to bolt in any third-party applications, which is hugely beneficial for multiple reasons. One being, you have one less system to manage; two, you have better compliance and controls over the data; [and] three, it's cost-efficient, as well.”Want to be part of the action at Oracle CloudWorld 2023?Get an Oracle pass to join in person.

Gen AI leans heavily into Fusion Cloud's push to build truly end-to-end flowsRise of the subscription business model: The subscription business model is becoming the new normal, and the Fusion Applications Suite enables it in the back-office and the front-office. Salespeople must readjust their behaviors and processes to handle subscriptions effectively.The Big Quote: “There are lots of companies that were not born in the cloud and obviously have worked for a long time with [a] . . . non-recurring revenue model, a one-time interaction between a customer and a vendor . . . That's changing dramatically in every industry . . . customers want to subscribe to usage.”

With each passing day, more and more data sources are sending greater volumes of data across the globe. For any organization, this combination of structured and unstructured data continues to be a challenge. Data lakehouses link, correlate, and analyze these varied outputs into a single manageable system.   In the final episode of the season, hosts Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham, along with Greg Genovese, discuss Oracle Data Lakehouse, the premier solution for leveraging data to make better, more profitable business decisions.   Oracle MyLearn: https://mylearn.oracle.com/   Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Ranbir Singh, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   --------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript:   00;00;00;00 - 00;00;39;03 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs.   00;00;39;06 - 00;01;17;11 Hi there! Last week, we spoke about managing Oracle Database with REST APIs and also looked at ADB built-in tools. Today's episode is the last one of the season, and we're going to be joined by Oracle Database Specialist Greg Genovese, who will talk with us about Oracle Data Lakehouse. Hi, Greg. I've heard about data lakes and data warehouses, but what's a lakehouse? Traditionally, when deciding how to best increase their data productivity and liquidity, companies often find themselves having to make a choice between leveraging a data lake or a data warehouse, each of them having their own benefits and drawbacks.   00;01;17;13 - 00;01;43;20 Now, companies no longer need to make that choice. Instead, they can look to a broader strategy that offers highly accurate machine learning capabilities, the flexibility of using open-source services, and the superior data and analytics capabilities of the best-in-class Oracle Database and Data Warehouse. These capabilities are integrated with common identity, data integration, orchestration, and catalog into a unified architecture - the Oracle Lakehouse.   00;01;43;24 - 00;02;12;26 What are the benefits of Oracle Lakehouse? Oracle Lakehouse facilitates ease of data reuse and recombination, maximizing insights from your data and generating several other benefits, including pure cost savings, as well as improving the agility of your current data warehouse by easily extending with new metrics, details, or attributes, which help you better understand your customers, your processes, or your risks, all while using your existing applications.   00;02;13;01 - 00;02;33;09 Is this only for companies that are already using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? For those of you companies who haven't yet adopted Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, but instead have existing data lakes on AWS or Azure, if you still want to make that data available to the Oracle Autonomous Database, you can reach out to these data lakes using Oracle SQL.   00;02;33;10 - 00;02;57;17 Here at OCI, we feel your experience would not be a productive one if you weren't allowed to use your choice of tools and applications, such as Analytics Cloud, Tableau, Looker, Notebook, REST, Python, and more. Can you tell us more about how Oracle Data Lakehouse works? It combines current data warehouse and data lake components with capabilities to also include external or third-party data.   00;02;57;20 - 00;03;29;04 This effectively eliminates data silos or having to manually move data between data warehouses and data lakes if you leverage both currently. The five key elements of the Oracle Lakehouse are the data warehouse, the data lake for raw data normally used for loading and staging data, managed open-source services to support Spark, Hadoop, and Redis, data integration, moving data depending on use case, and data catalog, which maintains a complete view of the available data for discovery and governance.   00;03;29;07 - 00;03;49;29 With these elements, you can write the data once with any engine and analyze or even build machine learning modules from any of your current data. How did the idea for data lakehouse come about? What was the need for it? Using all data to innovate, this is the challenge, to include all of your data and use it to drive better, more profitable business decisions.   00;03;50;02 - 00;04;14;07 Some data is easy to access, but accessing all of your data and then correlating that data in a way that helps make decisions and drive better outcomes isn't easy. So, the opportunity we've identified here is harnessing the power of all that data and creating a competitive advantage from it. But how do we do that? How do we run and maintain what we've got today efficiently, quickly, and securely?   00;04;14;08 - 00;04;42;02 We have functions that move data from sources to outcomes. The process is taking the source, going through integrations, and connecting the different data. Once we've done this, traditionally, we looked at persistence, processing the data and storing it somewhere to pass along for analysis. This has connected and curated the data for outcomes. The Oracle Lakehouse is a solution leveraging multiple tools and products to get the desired outcomes from this process.   00;04;42;04 - 00;05;05;17 You can use existing data warehouses to start, and the data warehouse, especially the Converged Autonomous Database, allows for storing all types of data. This is for the relational structured data to store in an Oracle autonomous database or warehouse. The Autonomous Data Warehouse is self-managed with better performance and efficiencies to help focus on the analysis and the outcomes of the data.   00;05;05;20 - 00;05;23;12 The unstructured or raw data can be persisted in any data type in its current format within object storage. This can be within an existing data lake, for example. Object storage is an efficient manner to land data where it's needed.   00;05;23;15 - 00;05;52;12 Are you attending Oracle CloudWorld 2023? Learn from experts, network with peers, and find out about the latest innovations when Oracle CloudWorld returns to Las Vegas from September 18 through 21.

So, what are you waiting for? Register today. Learn more about Oracle CloudWorld at www.oracle.com/cloudworld. Welcome back. Okay, so Greg, you spoke about the start of data lakehouse. Tell us about data integration and analysis. Lakehouse provides for an all encompassing orchestration of integration and is allowing your choice of tools to keep your source of truth and compliance for your data.   00;06;28;16 - 00;07;03;00 Whether you decide to deploy Oracle GoldenGate, the premiere data integration tool, Oracle Data Integration, helping you move data within the lake, or even an open-source or third-party tool, Lakehouse is by design flexible and meant to fit your specific needs. Oracle Analytics Cloud is used to perform predictive analytics, and other third-party tools can read into the data from the database APIs or using SQL. Oracle AI Service has machine learning models that will continue to work with the transactional systems and bring in other data types as well.   00;07;03;03 - 00;07;35;14 OCI Data Science can harness all of the data for better business outcomes and fills in the tools for integration and analysis for the Oracle Data Lakehouse. Within the Autonomous Data Warehouse, we have transactional and dimensional query capabilities, but in our Lakehouse story, we're also very lucky to have products like MySQL HeatWave, the blazing fast in-memory query accelerator, which increases MySQL performance by orders of magnitude for analytics and mixed workloads, all without any changes to your existing applications.   00;07;35;16 - 00;08;00;20 Really, no other cloud provider is going to give you that much choice in the data warehouse bucket and managed open-source components. So, from what I understand, Lakehouse has options for all types of data, but what about understanding and managing the metadata of data sources? The OCI Data Catalog captures whether you're building a schema, building a query from ADW, or building a table that you want to query from a Spark job.   00;08;00;23 - 00;08;26;13 And all that data definition goes into the OCI data catalog. So, wherever this data goes, you'll be able to access it. The data catalog is the source of truth for object store metadata and can regularly harvest the information from the data sources. It also manages the business glossary, providing consistent terms and tags for your data. Discovery of data is a powerful search feature to discover new data sets entirely.   00;08;26;15 - 00;08;50;08 Even with all these capabilities, there are still more being added or enhanced over time. For example, now with OCI Data Flow, you have a serverless Spark service. You can build a Spark job that makes sense from some unstructured data and include it as a part of the Oracle Lakehouse. Enterprises are moving to data flow because you can write, decode, and execute code, and focus on the application, because the challenging part of where this is running is handled through the service components of the Oracle Lakehouse.   00;08;50;11 - 00;09;13;06 I think what we all want, Greg, is faster insights on our data, right? As you put everything together into this architecture. The key thing is that you want to be able to write data once and then combine it with other previously written data, move it around, combine it here and there, and analyze.   00;09;13;09 - 00;09;36;26 So, we have a way to store both structured and unstructured data. You have the object store for unstructured data and write your structured data to a relational database, perhaps MySQL or Oracle database, and you can then leverage the Oracle Data Catalog to have a single way to understand and tag your data. Oracle Data Lakehouse is an open and collaborative approach.   00;09;36;28 - 00;10;04;22 It stores all data in an order that's easy to understand and analyze through a variety of services, as well as AI tools. OCI can accelerate your solution development for your most common Data Lakehouse workloads. You can easily get started from where you are today, and often without writing any new code whatsoever. Within each path, we can work with you at Oracle to highlight the investments we've made that will help accelerate your own Lakehouse transformation.   00;10;04;24 - 00;10;39;11 The Oracle Data Lakehouse is the premier solution for transforming data into better, more profitable business decisions. Remember, it's not just your architecture that's powerful. With Oracle Lakehouse, you can help combine the architecture, data sets, services, and tools across your entire technical landscape into something more valuable than just the sum of its parts.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs with Oracle University. And with me is Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor.   00;00;39;12 - 00;01;04;12 Hello again! Last week, we discussed Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Maximum Availability Architecture. And in today's episode, we'll talk about managing Oracle Database with REST APIs and also look at Autonomous Database built-in tools with our Cloud Engineer Nick Commisso. Hi Nick, thanks for being back on the podcast. What is Oracle REST Data Services? What do you use it for?   00;01;04;14 - 00;01;31;07 Oracle is not just a relational database anymore. And the REST APIs can be deployed with Oracle REST Data Services or ORDS to handle all of these data format models. And you can use ORDS for application development and accessing the data and can be used as a powerful tool for automating management, lifecycle, provisioning, and data-dictionary-type use.   00;01;31;09 - 00;02;02;02 Oracle Cloud offers full REST APIs for DBAs and developers who would prefer to interact with Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud services programmatically over REST rather than log in to the cloud console and click through screens. This provides a mechanism for developing customized deployment and management scripts that can be saved and reused for deployments, setting gold standards, and storing entire application infrastructure stacks as version-controlled code.   00;02;02;08 - 00;02;35;15 I think before we move on, it's important to clarify. For anyone who doesn't already know, what is REST? How do Oracle Cloud Infrastructure APIs use REST and HTTPS? REST is combined with HTTPS, but is not a protocol. REST is an acronym for Representational Stateless Transfer. The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure APIs are typical REST APIs that use HTTPS requests and responses and support HTTPS and SSL protocol TLS 1.2, the most secure industry standards.   00;02;35;15 - 00;03;18;17 Calls to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using REST APIs can be written in popular scripting languages such as Node.js, Python, Ruby, Perl, Java, C#, Bash, or Curl. The way you interact with your data are the API calls via HTTP - GET to access your data and stored procedures. PUT to update your data. POST to insert your data and execute PL/SQL. And DELETE to remove your data. When making an HTTP request with Oracle REST Data Services, how does the process flow from the request to accessing data in the database?   00;03;18;17 - 00;03;46;21 A person, process, or computer gets ready to make an HTTP request. You need to tell the request where the thing or data is, and the request will get into the web tier where ORDS is running. ORDS then translates the REST request to a SQL statement and accesses the table to get the information requested.   00;03;46;24 - 00;04;13;11 The result normally comes back as a JSON, but can also return an HTML, binary, and CSV. With all of these requests, a collection of connections to the database or connection pool is used and all of the data might not return, depending on the device asking. The results set up links to get more data, but each each time, this links to get another request through the connection pool.   00;04;13;13 - 00;04;41;06 The default size of the connection pool are 10 and it depends how fast is the database code that's tied to the APIs. But 10 probably isn't enough. Because of the results and connection pooling, it shouldn't be long-running code when using APIs. What is the architecture of Oracle REST Data Services? Can you tell us about the integration with components like Java servlets, Tomcat, WebLogic, and Apache?   00;04;41;08 - 00;05;13;24 Also, how does ORDS enable authentication and access to data in the Oracle database through REST calls? ORDS runs in a Java servlet. Or it can be run within Tomcat or WebLogic for E-Business or Fusion. The request comes into the web server and ORDS handles the request. ORDS is included in your Oracle database license. This is a simplified view of your architecture, but there's normally a load balancer in front of the Apache server to handle the requests coming in.   00;05;13;27 - 00;05;50;09 The REST service is already hooked up into the database. Authentication with the web server and the hooks are there to be accessing the data. The code and the data is already in the database in the APEX apps. And the REST calls allow for you to access the data. It harnesses the Oracle database. In order to manage your database with automation, along with minimal human interaction, you need to use ORDS and the REST APIs that are enabled for database management to provision, control, and monitor the Oracle database.   00;05;50;11 - 00;06;20;22 You need an Oracle database for ORDS to work. ORDS can run anywhere that Oracle can run and is easily plugged into the Oracle Database Management pipeline. What are some key features and functionalities offered by the Oracle Database REST APIs? There are over 600 REST endpoints provided to manage and monitor your Oracle database. These are supported starting from 11gR2 up to the current version of the database.   00;06;20;25 - 00;06;51;14 The REST APIs have general information, data dictionary, monitoring, performance, and lifecycle management. Can you give us some examples of specific details that are accessible through the REST APIs? For performance, there's Top SQL, ASH, and AWR reports. For monitoring, you can look at sessions, locks, waits, and alert logs. Lifecycle will allow you to manage multitenant for provisioning PDBs.   00;06;51;16 - 00;07;16;08 And let's not forget about the data dictionary tables where you can report on objects and database operations. And how do you get started with ORDS? To get started using ORDS, you need to install ORDS. You run the installer and there are configuration files that are also created that can be adjusted later. You need the information about connection to the database where you want ORDS installed.   00;07;16;10 - 00;07;47;08 What goes into the database is the schema, ORDS_METADATA, and a user, ORDS_PUBLIC_USER.

Nick, what are the key tools offered by Oracle for data analysis and integration? Oracle Data Integrator or ODI is an enterprise class data integration tool with extract, load, and transform, or ELT architecture. Enterprise Data Quality or EDQ is a sophisticated, powerful tool for profiling, cleaning, and preparing your data.   00;08;48;17 - 00;09;24;14 Analytic views built into Oracle database provides a common framework for defining universally accessible semantic models. Oracle Analytics Cloud, or OAC, is the perfect complement, providing beautiful and insightful analysis of this data. So, how do these tools come together?  For our traditional market, this is a comprehensive and compelling suite of tools. Enterprise class tools for an enterprise class market. With autonomous database, we deliver an integrated platform.   00;09;24;17 - 00;09;47;24 It's not a single tool with the customer left to buy the other tools that we need, nor is it a solution delivered in kit form with the customer left to cobble it all together. It's pre-assembled, preconfigured, and pre-deployed. There is a consistent user experience with built-in best practices. It's like having an expert in a box there to guide you.   00;09;47;26 - 00;10;12;15 Components are defined in the common database layer so that they can be shared by all users in all tools. And the metadata? And all of this metadata is brought together in the catalog. So, it's not just the tools that are integrated, it's the data too, a business model spanning data sources that can be federated when appropriate and defined in a common data catalog, which eliminates silos.   00;10;12;17 - 00;10;49;24 The result is renewed confidence in data lineage and impact analysis. In other words, we have collaboration by design. This built-in collaboration between specialists eliminates silos. For example, hierarchies recognized automatically in the data preparation phase are defined in the database itself, are immediately accessible to the data analysts for aggregation purposes. Additional semantic modeling by the analysts, perhaps defining sophisticated calculations, such as percentage change since last year, and again, defined in the database itself, can be accessed by the data scientist.   00;10;49;27 - 00;11;15;19 This provides a great headstart in developing predictive models that, in turn, can be used by the CRM developer who might want to augment a customer view with the most suitable campaign to discuss during the next meeting. So, autonomous database comes with a sophisticated suite of tools pre-installed.   00;11;15;20 - 00;11;40;10 So, it's basically an open platform with open standards. If you want to speak SQL, speak SQL, so do we. We speak Python too, if that's your preference. Whether your data is in a CSV file or a JSON format, it's going to be comfortably at home in autonomous database. Using the language of your choice, analyze your data using whatever tool you're most comfortable with.   00;11;40;17 - 00;12;00;18 The whole idea is that there should be nothing new to learn. Thanks, Nick, for joining us today. To learn more about ADB built-in tools, head over to mylearn.oracle.com and get started on our free Oracle Cloud Data Management Foundations Workshop. Next week will be our last episode of the season where we'll look at Oracle Data Lakehouse.   00;12;00;21 - 00;14;47;18 Until then, this is Nikita Abraham and Lois Houston signing off.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs with Oracle University. And with me is Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor.   00;00;38;22 - 00;00;59;15 Hi, everyone! For the last two weeks, we've been talking about MySQL and NoSQL. And in today's special episode, we're going to dive a little deeper and focus on MySQL Document Store with MySQL Developer Advocate Scott Stroz. Hi, Scott! Thanks for being here today. Why don't you tell us a little more about yourself? Hi, Niki. Hi, Lois.   00;00;59;19 - 00;01;16;10 I'm happy to be here with you guys. Like you said, I'm a developer advocate for MySQL. I've been a software developer for over 20 years. In that time frame, MySQL is the only thing in my development stack that hasn't changed. I used MySQL in my first job as a web developer, and I still use it today.   00;01;16;12 - 00;01;41;26 And for those who may not know, the best way to describe what a developer advocate does is our job is to make developers better at their job. Scott, we discussed NoSQL last week, but for anyone who missed that episode, can you give us a high-level explanation of what NoSQL means? Before I can explain NoSQL, we should probably go over what we mean by a relational database.   00;01;41;27 - 00;02;06;10 In a relational database, data is stored in tables. Each table consists of multiple columns, and each column holds a specific data type - a string, a number, a date, etc. In many cases, the data in one table relates to data in another table. This is where the relational part comes from and data is stored in rows or records. In a relational database, data is often very structured.   00;02;06;12 - 00;02;31;29 SQL or structured query language is used to retrieve, update, add, or delete rows from the database, and NoSQL database at its most basic level is a storage mechanism that does not use the table structure I just mentioned. Data is often stored as JSON documents, as a blob of text. Our audience may find it interesting that NoSQL does not necessarily mean there is no SQL used at all.   00;02;32;01 - 00;02;58;25 In some cases, NoSQL actually stands for not only SQL. Interesting. So, what are JSON documents? JSON is an acronym for JavaScript Object Notation and it is a textual representation of a data structure. JSON objects are wrapped in curly braces and consist of key-value pairs. The values can be simple, such as strings or numbers, or they can also be other JSON objects or arrays.   00;02;58;28 - 00;03;21;09 JSON arrays are wrapped in brackets and consist of comma-separated values that can be simple values again, such as numbers or strings. But they can also be other JSON objects or other arrays. This means that data in JSON objects can be nested with many levels. The best thing about JSON is that it's ubiquitous and can be used in almost any programing language.   00;03;21;11 - 00;03;41;21 I say almost every because I've not used every programing language. So, I'm covering myself just in case there's one out there that doesn't have JSON support. That's pretty good. Okay. It's easy to pick up on how to read it as well. When I first started using JSON, it was like trying to read The Matrix. But now I can read JSON just as easy as I can read a book.   00;03;41;22 - 00;04;03;08 Why would a developer choose to use a NoSQL solution? Can you give us a few examples of that? That is a great question, Niki. When starting out a new project, when a data structure doesn't exist, it may make sense to use a NoSQL solution. In other words, if the schema changes frequently, it may make sense not to have a schema.   00;04;03;10 - 00;04;22;25 Then, once the scheme is matured, the data can be parsed out into a relational database model. I come from the school of thought that all data should be in tables and columns with the proper relationships defined and be very structured. But here's the thing that took me a while to accept. Not all data is structured and not all data needs to be related to other data.   00;04;23;00 - 00;04;49;12 Things like application configuration or user preferences most likely don't need to be stored in a relational database and may work best being stored as JSON. One of the biggest uses of storing JSON is ingesting data from third-party sources. Many applications use external APIs to retrieve data. In those cases, we have no control over the schema that's used for that data.   00;04;49;15 - 00;05;08;28 In trying to account for changes in the schema that will inevitably come is going to be a difficult task. So, storing that data in JSON makes a lot more sense. That makes sense. And then you can handle the JSON as you need to. Okay, let's get to our main topic of discussion for today. What is MySQL Document Store?   00;05;09;00 - 00;05;35;09 MySQL Document Store is a NoSQL implementation built on top of MySQL. JSON documents are stored in a MySQL database table using the InnoDB storage engine. CRUD operations - create, retrieve, update, and delete - are abstracted from the developer through an easy-to-use API. Application developers, whether it's web applications, mobile applications, or native operating system applications, communicate with MySQL Document Store over the X-protocol, which uses port 33060 instead of the standard port 3306.   00;05;35;11 - 00;06;00;10 The nomenclature of NoSQL databases differs from relational databases, right? Can you explain some of the basic terms that are used? Developers who come from a relational database background may initially be confused by some of the terms used to describe the structure where the documents are stored.   00;06;00;12 - 00;06;23;04 I know I was. We use three main terms to describe the structure of MySQL document store – schema, collection, and document. In relational database parlance, a schema would be akin to a database. A collection would be the same as a table, and a document, the actual JSON that we're storing, would be like a row in that table.   00;06;23;07 - 00;06;56;07 So, what happens under the covers when using MySQL Document Store? So, any time we use the document store API, the commands are turned into SQL commands that are then executed on the database server. When developers use the MySQL Document Store API to create a new schema, behind the scenes, MySQL creates a new database, which should be the same as running a SQL query to create a new database. When a new collection is created, MySQL creates a new table in the database using a create table query, and it adds three columns to that table.   00;06;56;09 - 00;07;24;09 The first is _id. This column serves as the primary key when a document is saved to the database, and the key named _id is not provided. MySQL autogenerates the id, saves it to this column, and then also injects it into the JSON document. The next column is doc. This column stores the JSON documents using the JSON data type. And then the last column is _json_schema.   00;07;24;12 - 00;07;57;09 And it's used to validate the schema of documents that are added to the collection. CRUD operations follow the same process. For instance, when we make a call to the API to retrieve documents, on the backend, that command is converted into a SELECT statement using native JSON functions to return the document. If developers want to see what commands are executed when using MySQL Document Store, they can enable the general log setting and then view the log after executing API commands.   00;07;57;12 - 00;08;25;29 Are you attending Oracle CloudWorld 2023?

So, what are you waiting for? Register today! Learn more about Oracle CloudWorld at www.oracle.com/cloudworld. Welcome back! Scott, just before the break, you mentioned something about schema validation. Isn't being schema-less one of the advantages of using a NoSQL solution?   00;08;53;15 - 00;09;16;22 Being schema-less is one of the features of NoSQL databases that developers like more than others. There may be times when we must ensure that documents added to a collection match a certain syntax or schema. For example, we may want to ensure that documents always have a specific key or that a particular key, if it exists, is numeric or some other data type.   00;09;16;24 - 00;09;38;20 When the collection is created, we can define those rules using a JSON object with a specific syntax. On the backend, MySQL will create a check constraint using that JSON and any time a document is saved to a collection, it's validated to ensure it matches the rules or schema we define. If the document does not adhere to that schema, MySQL will throw an error.   00;09;38;22 - 00;10;00;13 What do developers need to do to start using MySQL Document Store.  In terms of configuring MySQL? They don't need to do anything. The X-plugin, which is what's used for communication between the server and the client, has been installed by default since version 8.0.1. So, if they're using a newer version of MySQL 8, they already have access to Document Store.   00;10;00;15 - 00;10;24;28 You may need to make some changes to the network infrastructure to allow traffic over port 33060, but for a network administrator, that should be easy to accomplish. MySQL Document Store is also available on all editions. It's available in Enterprise Edition and the Community Edition as well. And I should note that Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is currently the only cloud provider supporting MySQL Document Store for their MySQL cloud implementations.   00;10;25;00 - 00;10;48;27 Scott, what programing languages are supported for use with MySQL Document Store? There are quite a few languages that are supported. We have connectors or SDKs, as some people call them, or Java, which also works with other Java-based languages, such as Groovy and Kotlin. We also have connectors for C++, Python, PHP, .Net, Node.js and MySQL Shell.   00;10;49;00 - 00;11;14;18 Our listeners have probably heard of most of these with the exception of MySQL Shell. What is that? MySQL Shell is a command line interface that allows us to connect to and manage MySQL database instances. We can use it to create document store schemas and collections easily, but it can do so much more. We can manage to configure MySQL instances, including creating and configuring server replication and clustering.   00;11;14;20 - 00;11;39;15 It even offers a sandbox feature where we can quickly spin up MySQL instances for testing, replication, and clustering configuration without the need to stand up full MySQL server instances. There are three modes in MySQL Shell. By default, MySQL Shell starts in JavaScript mode where the commands we use follow JavaScript syntax. There is a Python mode where the commands we use follow Python syntax.   00;11;39;17 - 00;12;05;17 And finally, there is SQL mode where we can run standard SQL queries. SQL mode functions very much like the older MySQL command line client. And what are the advantages of using MySQL Document Store? I think the best feature of MySQL Document Store is that because the documents are stored in a database table using the JSON data type, we can use native SQL to run complex queries for reports and analytics.   00;12;05;19 - 00;12;27;13 MySQL has quite a few native functions for working with JSON, which can help extract data from a document store easier than in other solutions. Another big advantage is that MySQL Document Store is fully ACID compliant because the JSON documents are stored using the InnoDB storage engine. What does it mean for a database to be ACID compliant?   00;12;27;15 - 00;12;55;27 In databases, data is updated, added, deleted, etc. in transactions or steps. Sometimes, these transactions are a single query. Other times they may be multiple queries run in succession. Thezacronym ACID, which stands for atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability, ensures that these transactions are processed in a reliable manner. Atomicity guarantees that each transaction is treated as a single unit.   00;12;55;29 - 00;13;30;24 If one part of the transaction fails, the entire transaction fails. Consistency ensures that every part of the transaction follows all database constraints. If the data in every part of the transaction violates these constraints, the entire transaction fails. Isolation means that transactions are run in isolation so that they do not interfere with each other. And finally, durability means that once a transaction is committed, meaning all parts of the transaction is succeeded, that the data is written to the database. Database is considered ACID compliant when it adheres to all of this.   00;13;30;26 - 00;13;55;16 Before we let you go, if people want more information about MySQL Document Store, where can they find it? I think the best place to get more information is from the documentation on the MySQL site at dev.mysql.com/doc. There are also quite a few posts about MySQL Document Store on the MySQL blog at blogs.oracle.com/mysql.   00;13;55;19 - 00;14;15;06 Wonderful!

There is so much data available today. But it only makes a difference when you transform that data into actionable intelligence.   In this episode, hosts Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham, along with Nick Commisso, discuss how you can harness the capabilities of Oracle Machine Learning to solve key business problems and accelerate the deployment of machine learning–based solutions.   Oracle MyLearn: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Ranbir Singh, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   -------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript:   00;00;00;00 - 00;00;39;06 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started. Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs.   00;00;39;08 - 00;01;07;15 Hi there. For the last two weeks, we've been off the Oracle Database train, but today we're back on it, focusing on Oracle Machine Learning with our Cloud Engineer Nick Commisso. Hi Nick. Before we get into Oracle Machine Learning, I think we should start with the basics. What is machine learning? Machine learning is focused on enabling data science teams to add ML-based intelligence to both their applications and their dashboards.   00;01;07;17 - 00;01;37;07 With machine learning, we can automate the entire data analysis process workflow, from collaborating in order to obtain data from many sources to creating and analyzing the data, and showing the results and reports. We can perform predictions and easily visualize the data to provide a deeper and faster and more comprehensive insight to enable effective business decisions. I think we can safely say that machine learning is the future of analytics in every industry, right?   00;01;37;09 - 00;02;11;26 So where does Oracle Machine Learning come in? Oracle Machine Learning provides a reliable, AI-driven environment that truly encapsulates the power of machine learning. Enhanced performance and scalability is achieved in part by eliminating data movement for database data and providing algorithms that have been redesigned specifically for scalability and performance. Next is simpler solution architecture and management, where we want to avoid requiring separately maintained analytic engines or tools for data and model governance.   00;02;11;26 - 00;02;38;10 In-database machine learning also offers flexible architectures for deployment tests, in-production spanning the cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. And because of its SQL and REST interfaces, it's easy to integrate with the broader Oracle stack. Now the third is that OML empowers a broader range of users with machine learning. It's readily available in the database from multiple interfaces, including third-party package support.   00;02;38;13 - 00;03;06;19 So do you have to be an expert to use machine learning? To make even non-experts productive with machine learning, OML supports AutoML from a Python API, and a no code user interface. And there's also other built-in automation features like automatic data preparation, integrated text mining, and partition models. And these make machine learning even more accessible to a broader range of users.   00;03;06;22 - 00;03;33;04 What can you tell us about the pricing structure? Machine learning capabilities are included in the core product at no additional cost with Autonomous Database, and the OML components of ADB are pre-provisioned and ready to use. And an on-premises database is included with the database license. So overall, the takeaway is that OML helps reduce costs and complexity while increasing productivity and access.   00;03;33;06 - 00;04;01;06 What are the areas or fields in which OML is useful? Modern businesses and modern problems require solution best delivered by Oracle Machine Learning. Medical science has been leveraging machine learning successfully to perform quick and accurate diagnosis or creating curative solutions using vast quantities of data. Physical robots use a combination of machine learning solutions to sense their environment and respond appropriately.   00;04;01;08 - 00;04;37;07 Computational biology makes use of machine learning to analyze biological data, such as genetic sequences or organic samples, and make predictions. Analysis with financial or security data can identify clients with high risk profiles or cybersecurity surveillance to pinpoint warning signs of fraud. The recent growth in the popularity of machine learning has been aided by the fact that we now have improved machine learning algorithms, which are supported by the advent and frequent innovation in technology related to data capture, networking and computing power.   00;04;37;11 - 00;05;02;24 So you basically don't need to write complex software for every change in the data. And the machine learning model evolves as the historical data evolves. We have more advanced sensors and I/O devices which support machine learning models with accurate and real-time data. Customers of various services are now looking for more customization options, which can be efficiently supported with machine learning solutions.   00;05;02;26 - 00;05;24;16 The historical challenges of manually trawling through data to extract actionable knowledge is no longer a problem now because machine learning algorithms supported by powerful modern computers are designed for that particular purpose.   00;05;24;19 - 00;05;52;18 Are you attending Oracle CloudWorld 2023? Learn from experts, network with peers, and find out about the latest innovations when Oracle CloudWorld returns to Las Vegas from September 18 through 21.

So what are you waiting for? Register today. Learn more about Oracle CloudWorld at www.oracle.com/cloudworld.   00;06;09;22 - 00;06;39;21 Welcome back! Nick, I was hoping you could share some use cases where machine learning can really be leveraged. Banks and other businesses in the financial industry use machine learning technology for two key purposes: to identify important insights and data and to prevent fraud. The insights can identify investment opportunities to help investors know when to trade, and machine learning can also identify clients with high risk profiles or use cyber surveillance to pinpoint warning signs of fraud.   00;06;39;23 - 00;07;10;23 Machine learning is a fast growing trend in the healthcare industry. The technology can help medical experts analyze data to identify trends or red flags that may lead to improved diagnostics and treatment. Finding new energy sources, analyzing minerals in the ground, predicting refinery sensor failure, streamlining oil distribution to make it more efficient and cost effective. The number of machine learning use cases for this industry is fast and still expanding.   00;07;10;25 - 00;07;46;27 Analyzing data to identify patterns and trends is key to the transportation industry, which relies on making routes more efficient and predicting potential problems to increase profitability. The data analysis and modeling aspects of machine learning are important tools to delivery companies, public transportation, and other transportation organizations. Shopping websites also use machine learning, right? Websites recommending items you might like based on previous purchases are used with machine learning to analyze your buying history and promote other items you might be interested in.   00;07;46;29 - 00;08;14;17 The ability to capture that data and analyze it and use it to personalize a shopping experience or implement a marketing campaign is the future of retail. Government agencies, such as public safety and utilities, have a particular need for machine learning because they have multiple sources of data that can be mined for insights. Analyzing sensor data, for example, identifies ways to increase efficiency and save money.   00;08;14;20 - 00;08;42;12 Machine learning can also help detect fraud and minimize theft. Retail industries can use machine learning to recognize customer spending patterns for targeted marketing or optimize supply chain logistics by recognizing outliers or anomalies in the data. All that a data science needs to do is identify the problem domains, such as transportation, find the data, and let Oracle Machine Learning take care of the rest.   00;08;42;14 - 00;09;08;18 GPS navigation services make use of historical data to predict travel time based on the current traffic levels. Video surveillance systems uses facial recognition systems to identify situations which require attention from emergency services. Social media uses machine learning to study the patterns of user interactions to suggest connections, item of interests, targeted ads, and so on. And we can use it to find spam, I'm sure.   00;09;08;20 - 00;09;33;27 Machine learning helps email services recognize spam or malicious emails by recognizing the common patterns among offending examples. And the well-known and almost essential Internet searches use machine learning to refine results based on the search patterns of the individual users. Nick, now that you've given us a really good idea about all of the places machine learning can be used, let's talk about the features of Oracle Machine Learning.   00;09;34;00 - 00;10;09;12 Oracle Machine Learning provides access to a wide array of features in addition to the collaborative notebooks, which include templates, user administration tools, and schedulers. In-database algorithms allow you to implement machine learning solutions on your data residing in Oracle databases without having to move your data anywhere else. OML provides support for SQL, PL/SQL, R, Python languages, and Markdown, which you should be familiar with if you've worked with databases before, making implementing machine learning solutions lot easier.   00;10;09;15 - 00;10;38;04 OML also provides support for the deployment of enterprise machine learning methodologies within the Autonomous Data Warehouse. What are the different parts of Oracle Machine Learning? The components that make up Oracle Machine Learning are the machine learning user administrative application, which is a web-based user interface for managing your Oracle Machine Learning user, as well as mapping your machine learning to the Autonomous Data Warehouse database users.   00;10;38;07 - 00;11;03;22 Now you can also access machine learning user interface for the administrator. The OML application is a web-based application for your data scientists to help create workspaces and projects, as well as notebooks. Earlier in our conversation, you spoke about these powerful machine learning algorithms. Can you tell us more about that, please? The OML tagline is move the algorithms, not the data.   00;11;03;25 - 00;11;34;26 To realize this, we've placed powerful machine learning algorithms in the database kernel software operating below the user security layer. Other tools simply can't do that. OML eliminates data movement for database data and simplifies the solution architecture as there's no need to manage and test workflows involving third-party engines. OML extends the database to enable users to augment applications and dashboards with machine learning– based intelligence quickly and easily.   00;11;34;28 - 00;12;05;14 It delivers over 30 in-database algorithms accessible through multiple language interfaces, and it's important to note that the broader Oracle ecosystem for data analytics and machine learning also include tools like Oracle Analytics Server and Analytics Cloud, OCI, Data Science, AI services, and others. And OML is included with Oracle Autonomous Database instances and Oracle Database licenses. So you already have free access to it to start using it.   00;12;05;18 - 00;12;33;25 And what are the benefits of using OML, Nick? Whether minimizing or eliminating data movement, support from multiple personas or multiple languages and both code and no code interfaces. These and other benefits resonate with customers needing powerful and integrated machine learning to meet their scalability and performance needs, while simplifying their solution and deployment architecture. What are the various OML components?   00;12;33;29 - 00;13;19;07 Build ML models and score data with no data movement with the OML4SQL API. Leverage the database as a high-performance compute engine from Python with in-database ML with OML4Py API. Leverage the database as a high-performance compute engine from R with in-database ML with OML4R API. OML Notebooks is a collaborative notebook user interface supporting SQL, PL/SQL, Python, R, and Markdown. OML AutoML UI is a no-code automated modeling interface. And OML Services is a RESTful model management and deployment.   00;13;19;09 - 00;13;44;19 With Oracle Data Miner, there's a SQL Developer extension with a drag-and-drop interface for creating ML methodologies. Let's talk about the life cycle of a machine learning project. The life cycle of a machine learning project is divided into six phases. The first phase of the machine learning process is to define business objectives. The initial phase of the project focuses on understanding the project objectives and requirements.   00;13;44;22 - 00;14;10;28 In this phase, you're going to specify the objectives, determine the machine learning goals, define success criteria, and produce a project plan. The data understanding phase involves data collection and exploration, which includes loading the data and analyzing the data for your business problem. In this phase, you will access and collect the data, explore data, and understand data quality. Alright, then.   00;14;10;28 - 00;14;40;22 So what's next? The preparation phase involves finalizing the data and covers all of the tasks involved in making the data in a format that you can use to build the model. In this phase, you will clean, join, and select the data, transform data, and engineer new features. In the modeling phase, you'll select and apply various modeling techniques and tune the algorithm parameters called hyperparameters to your desired values.   00;14;40;24 - 00;15;07;20 In this phase, you're going to explore different algorithms and build, evaluate, and tune models. At the evaluation phase, it's time to evaluate how well the model satisfies the originally stated business goal. In this phase, you'll review the business objectives, assess results against success criteria, and determine the next steps. Deployment is the use of machine learning with a targeted environment.   00;15;07;22 - 00;15;42;04 In the deployment phase, one can derive data-driven insights and actionable insights. In this phase, you will plan enterprise deployment, integrate models with application for business needs, monitor, refresh, retire, and archive models, and you'll report on model effectiveness.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started. Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor.   00;00;38;22 - 00;01;07;29 Hi, everyone. In our last episode, we discussed Oracle Exadata Cloud Service with our Oracle Database Specialist Alex Bouchereau. If you missed that episode, please remember to go back and give it a listen. We're so excited to have Alex with us again and today she's going to talk about the fundamentals of OCI database system instances on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We'll also ask her about the DB system for bare metal and virtual machine shapes.   00;01;08;02 - 00;01;40;22 Hi, Alex. Can you tell us about the Oracle Database Cloud Service? Oracle Database Cloud Service provides you the ability to deploy Oracle databases to the cloud. You can deploy Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition 2 and any database version from 11.2 and later. You have the option to deploy using virtual machine or bare metal shapes. Database Cloud Service VM and BM metal DB systems are deployed in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure regions around the world.   00;01;40;24 - 00;02;12;01 With Database Cloud Service, you manage the database instance, including provisioning, patching, backup, and disaster recovery using OCI cloud automation tools, such as the OCI console, CLI, and API. There is also an SDK that supports a number of different languages. Using VM shapes, you can deploy real application clusters and scale your storage requirements. Walk us through the various Oracle database editions. You know, from Standard Edition 2 to Enterprise Edition Extreme Performance.   00;02;12;03 - 00;02;37;15 What are the key differences in terms of features, add-ons, and licensing options? Beginning with Standard Edition 2, features included with the service are Multitenant Pluggable Database and Tablespace Encryption. Moving to Enterprise Edition, you add additional database features, such as data guard and the EM packs of data masking and subsetting, tuning, and diagnostics.   00;02;37;17 - 00;03;14;06 With Enterprise Edition High Performance, in addition to the base Enterprise Edition, you add Management and Lifecycle Management packs as well as Advanced Security and Database Vault and Label Security. And finally, Enterprise Edition Extreme Performance has all the previously discussed features, plus Active Data Guard, Oracle RAC, and Database In-Memory. Note that all packages include Oracle Database Transparent Data Encryption, TDE. You have an option to bring your own license, BYOL, which means you could use your organization's existing Oracle Database software licenses.   00;03;14;12 - 00;03;44;27 What's the difference between bare metal instances and virtual machines in the context of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? OCI is the only public cloud that supports BM and VMs during the same set of APIs, hardware, firmware, software stack, and networking infrastructure. Bare metal instances are single tenant and you have full control over the resources provisioned within the service. Virtual machines follow a multitenant model and share servers that are not overprovisioned.   00;03;45;00 - 00;04;11;00 So how is the customer billed for these services? For databases using bare metal and virtual machine infrastructure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure uses per second billing. This means that OCPU and storage usage is billed by the second with a minimum usage period of one minute for virtual machine DB systems and one hour for bare metal DB systems.   00;04;11;00 - 00;04;39;29 For bare metal servers, there is an infrastructure charge along with the billing for OCPUs. Alex, can DBCS be customized? I mean, are there different kinds of DBCS offerings to fulfill the various needs of our customers? The maximum number of OCPUs, RAM, and storage for your database depends on the shape you choose. There are two types of DB systems on virtual machines. Single node or one-node virtual machine DB system consists of one virtual machine.   00;04;40;02 - 00;05;13;27 Two-node virtual machine DB systems consist of two virtual machines of separate servers. Virtual machine DB systems use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure block storage. Bare metal systems used NVMe local storage and are therefore not scalable. Storage scaling is available for all VM shapes. Online OCPU scaling is available for bare metal systems or for two-node RAC VMs. Alex, help us understand what Database Cloud Service on bare metal is.   00;05;13;29 - 00;05;43;07 How does it differ from other Oracle Database Service offerings? Database Cloud Service on bare metal is a database service offering that enables customers to deploy and manage full-featured Oracle databases on bare metal servers. Bare metal offers proven and predictable performance with local NVMe storage on dedicated servers that provide high IOPS with extremely low latency. Bare metal DB systems consist of a single bare metal server running Oracle Linux with locally attached NVMe storage.   00;05;43;07 - 00;06;11;25 If the node fails, you can simply launch another system and restore the databases from current backups. Bare metal DB system provide dedicated resources that are ideal for databases that are performance intensive. And how do you start a bare metal instance? When you launch a bare metal DB system, you select the single Oracle Database edition that applies to all the databases on that DB system.   00;06;11;28 - 00;06;49;08 The selected edition cannot be changed. Each DB system can have multiple database homes, which can be different versions. Each database home can have multiple databases, which are, of course, the same version as the database home.

Learn more about Oracle CloudWorld at www.oracle.com/cloudworld.   00;07;17;24 - 00;07;46;08 Welcome back. Alex, can you explain how Automatic Storage Management interfaces with disks in OCI? ASM directly interfaces with the disks. When you provision a bare metal system, you will indicate the data storage percentage assigned to data storage, which is user data and database files. Your choice is 40% or 80%. The remaining percentage is assigned to RECO storage consisting of database redo logs, archive logs, and recovery manager backups.   00;07;46;08 - 00;08;20;14 Storage is continuously monitored for any faults. Any disk that fails will be taken offline. Whenever the shapes list a maximum amount of usable space and data in RECO, these reservations for rebalancing are already taken into account. The root user has complete control over the storage subsystem so customization and tuning are possible. But the service already optimally configures these by default according to best practices.   00;08;20;18 - 00;08;58;20 So what are the key benefits of running databases on virtual machines? Database Service on VMs is a Database Service offering that enables customers to build, scale, and manage full-featured Oracle databases on virtual machines. The key benefits of running databases on VMs are cost-effectiveness, ease of getting started, durable and scalable storage, and the ability to run real application clusters, RAC, to improve availability. Database Cloud Service on VMs is built on the same high performance, highly available cloud infrastructure used by all Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.   00;08;58;22 - 00;09;23;21 RAC databases will run on a single availability domain (AD) while ensuring each node is on a separate physical RAC, ensuring high availability. When you launch a virtual machine DB system, you select the Oracle Database edition and version that applies to the database on that DB system. The selected edition cannot be changed. Depending on your selected Oracle database edition and version, your DB system can support multiple pluggable databases, PDBs.   00;09;23;28 - 00;09;59;17 Are there various kinds of compute shapes available with DBCS? Virtual machine database systems offer compute shapes with 1 to 24 cores to support customers with small to large database processing requirements. A virtual machine DB system database uses Oracle Cloud Infrastructure block storage instead of local storage. You specify a storage size when you launch the DB system, and you can scale up the storage as needed at any time.   00;09;59;17 - 00;10;27;26 On-demand up and down scaling of database OCPUs use without interrupting database operations on two-node Oracle Real Application Cluster deployments allows customers to meet application needs while minimizing costs. To change to the number of CPU cores on an existing virtual machine DB system, you will change the shape of that DB system. Can you tell us about the node virtual machine DB systems in OCI?   00;10;27;28 - 00;11;01;22 For one-node virtual machine DB systems, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides a fast provisioning option that allows you to create a DB system using Logical Volume Manager, LVM, as your storage management software. Fast provisioning for an Oracle Database with Logical Volume Manager increases developer productivity. Can we also choose to use Automatic Storage with DBCS? You have a choice to select ASM storage management. You will select Oracle Grid Infrastructure when you provision your DB system to use Oracle Automatic Storage Management.   00;11;01;25 - 00;11;32;03 This is required for RAC deployments. Virtual machine DB system deployments with ASM support 11.2 database versions and above, whereas virtual machine DB system deployments with LVM support 12.2 database versions and above. When you provision your virtual machine DB system, you will identify the amount of available storage. This is the amount of block storage and gigabyte to allocate to the virtual machine DB system.   00;11;32;05 - 00;11;56;05 Available storage can be scaled up or down as needed after provisioning your DB system. You will also indicate total storage, the total block storage and gigabyte used by the virtual machine DB system. The amount of available storage you select determines this value. Oracle charges for the total storage used. What our customers really want to know is how their data is kept secure?   00;11;56;11 - 00;12;26;29 Lay it out for us. Alex. Identity Management, network controls, and encryption are all built into Database Cloud Service virtual machine and bare metal DB system to provide end-to-end security. Oracle Data Safe is an integrated security service available at no additional cost. With it, you could do a few things. Identify configuration drift through overall security assessments. This helps you identify gaps and then fix the issues. Flag risks users or behavior, and see if they're all well controlled.   00;12;27;02 - 00;12;54;14 Audit user activity. Track risky actions. Raise alerts and streamline compliance checks. Discover sensitive data. Know where it is and how much you have. Mask sensitive data. Three out of four DB instances are copies for dev test. This lets you remove that risk. To help meet security compliance standards, you can optionally enable FIPS, STIG, and SELinux options.   00;12;54;20 - 00;13;15;04 Thank you, Alex, for guiding us through all of this. To learn more about Oracle Database Cloud Service, please visit mylearn.oracle.com and take a look at our free Oracle Cloud Data Management Foundations Workshop. You'll also find quizzes that you can take to test your understanding of these concepts. That brings us to the end of this episode.   00;13;15;06 - 00;13;39;11 We're very excited about our episode next week in which we'll be talking with Rohit Rahi, Vice President of OCI Global Delivery, and Bill Lawson, Senior Director of Cloud Applications Product Management for Oracle University.

Oracle noemde zijn jaarlijkse conferentie voorheen Oracle OpenWorld. Die naam dekte de lading kennelijk niet meer. Vanaf dit jaar gaat de conferentie door het leven als Oracle CloudWorld. Op zich logisch, gezien de focus van het bedrijf op hun cloudaanbod, zowel op het gebied van IaaS, PaaS en SaaS. Toch had OpenWorld juist nu ook behoorlijk goed geklonken. Waar Oracle vroeger een tamelijk gesloten karakter had, is dat de laatste jaren behoorlijk veranderd. De voornaamste boodschap van Oracle CloudWorld was dat de toekomstige cloudwereld er een is van openheid en interoperabiliteit. Of het nou gaat om de brede beschikbaarheid van OCI, het verbinden van de verschillende cloudomgevingen, het beschikbaar maken van patiëntendata, een eigen low-code platform om klanten zelf aan te sporen om het aanbod van Oracle verder uit te breiden, of het draaien van Oracle-services op AWS en Azure. Techzine was dit jaar aanwezig op Oracle CloudWorld. In het verleden had Oracle nog weleens de neiging om zichzelf te positioneren ten kosten van andere. Daar heeft het van geleerd, want dat doet het niet meer. Het kijkt nu meer naar wat andere spelers in de markt doen en probeert daar lessen uit te trekken. Larry Ellison, oprichter, CTO en nog altijd de voornaamste bepaler van de koers van Oracle, geeft in zijn keynote tijdens CloudWorld aan dat hij de strategie van Snowflake zeer geslaagd vindt. Snowflake kun je op zowel AWS, Azure als Google draaien. Een dergelijke brede toepassing van de technologie van Oracle ziet Ellison duidelijk ook wel zitten.

As the year has gone on I've been dipping my toes back into the industry conference scene more and more. And while I'm gearing up for my first trip to Vegas in three years for Oracle CloudWorld, Hurricane Ian kept me from getting there a couple of weeks ago for Oracle NetSuite's SuiteWorld conference. SuiteWorld is a conference I've attended a number of times over the years, and with it being physically back I was looking forward to sitting down with company founder and Oracle EVP Evan Goldberg face-to-face for a conversation, instead of virtually for the past two years. But I was appreciative that even during this year's event, Evan made time for another virtual conversation on LinkedIn Live, as I was really curious about his perspective on the current economic uncertainties of the economy – and what it means for the 32,000 small and midsize enterprises using his company's platform to run their businesses on.
