Some things in Oracle Database are hard, very hard,
extremely hard, almost impossible, or impossible. If your manager asked you
about
any of the following items, would you have a good answer? All the answers are
available at the November 20 conference.
·
Upgrade
Oracle Database with zero downtime. Impossible? The DBA team responsible
for administering one of the most complicated database environments in the
world will tell you what’s possible and what’s not.
·
Infinite
scalability. Impossible? That’s what the NoSQL fans claim to have. What’s
sharding anyway? When will Oracle Database have it? The Oracle product managers
will clue you in.
·
1.6 million
SQL queries per second. Impossible? Perhaps you don’t need that right now
but perhaps one day you will. MySQL, eh?
·
Support Big
Data volume, velocity, and variety in the same Oracle Database with OLTP data.
Impossible? The director of database engineering for one of the most
complicated database environments
in the world will provide guidance.
·
Keep
everybody happy in a data warehouse. Impossible? Everybody wants their
queries to complete quickly but there’s only so much computing power available.
·
Bullet-proof
disaster recovery with zero data loss and cross-application consistency.
Impossible? That’s not what the good folks at Axxana believe.
·
Self-service
provisioning of dev, test, and QA databases. Impossible? That’s not what
EMC is saying.
