How do you identify and optimize SQL queries on Oracle databases for better performance, speed, or reduced cloud computing costs? In this session, we’ll demonstrate how to locate poor execution plans that lead to expensive SQL execution. We’ll then show you how to optimize these queries, focusing on improved performance, I/O, and CPU compute resources. Additionally, we’ll examine indexes and index strategies across multiple queries to enhance efficiency.

Topics that will be discussed include:

  • Identifying poor execution plans that impact performance and cost
  • Optimizing SQL queries for better performance and resource efficiency
  • Evaluating and implementing index strategies across multiple queries
  • Reducing cloud computing costs through query optimization

RAC for SE is gone – what are your options?Since Oracle19c, RAC is no longer available for Standard Edition (SE) databases. A year later, Oracle announced a high availability (HA) concept for SE, but it is merely a standby database requiring downtime during the switchover. SharePlex® offers a mature and robust solution with high availability plus additional scalability for all Oracle editions.

Databases and applications are not islands in a calm sea. They run as part of a bigger infrastructure, perhaps as a virtual machine on-premises or in the cloud.

Poor conditions in that environment will have an impact on the availability and performance of databases and applications. Understanding what happens outside your environment can help you remedy problems and, proactively avoid situations that negatively influence the databases. What if you could visualize the total infrastructure, like hosts, VMs, guest operating systems, storage, cloud and more? In this session, we’ll show you how to visualize, analyze and optimize the bigger environment to reduce complexity, improve performance and troubleshoot issues faster.

Do you have a large SQL Server estate, which is complex to manage, contains a mixture of on-premises and cloud databases, multiple editions, many SQL Agent jobs, and large backups that need to be encrypted? And, what about recovery and auditing?

Learn how ApexSQL tooling, LiteSpeed, Spotlight for SQL Server and Foglight can help you manage complex SQL Server environments.

This year’s unprecedented changes in IT are accelerating the pace of what was already happening around data operations, cloud DBaaS adoption, application delivery and data privacy. The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced significant challenges in the way businesses operate with the forced introduction of WFH. IT leaders are rethinking how to maintain effective IT operations with reduced budgets. The use of new technologies built around AI and ML such as autonomous databases and the introduction of hybrid databases is increasing momentum, and both have the potential to significantly impact the traditional role of the DBA. In this session, we’ll explore some of these new technology trends and what to expect from an increasingly dynamic but fragmented market.

While data scientists can do wonders with cutting-edge technology, the reality is that they and the technologies they use, are out of reach for many companies. In reality, your “data analysts” are a mixture of technical and non-technical staff trying to extract insights from Excel sheets and ERP systems, on top of their day-to-day jobs. In this session we will see how to maximize the effectiveness of your organization’s data analytics through smart and accurate data preparation and provisioning, ensuring any company can understand and use their data effectively without dedicated expertise.

In the “good old days” of IT, database operations were straightforward and managed by domain experts. The DBA had the power to decide which platforms would be used to support functional areas.

However, times have changed, and different parts of the business are demanding operational support specific to their needs. This has led to data platform diversity and cloud database (AWS, Azure) adoption at a time where data privacy laws are being tightened. Business is also demanding more agility to keep up with constant changes and external market dynamics. This leaves DBAs as the victim of change as they scramble to embrace this complexity.

In this session, we’ll examine some of the challenges around database operations, what strategies businesses are putting in place and their potential impact
