Abstract:I will provide a broad overview of graph databases, from the earlydays of database research, to their adolescence and experimentationwith RDF, and finally to the current bloom of graph and multi-modelDBs available today. I will also try to defuse the hype around graphdatabases, and try to articulate scenarios where using such a databasecould be useful.Time permitting, I will provide a... Read More

The proliferation of modern data processing ecosystems has given rise to open-source columnar data formats. The key advantage of these formats is that they allow organizations to load data from database management systems (DBMSs) once instead of having to convert it to a new format for each usage. These formats, however, are read-only. This means that organizations must still use... Read More

Oracle Autonomous Database is the industry's first self-driving, self-securing and self-repairing cloud database. It combines decades of database automation techniques and database infrastructure development, with the power of machine learning to deliver a fully autonomous database that revolutionizes data management, enabling enterprises to evolve from the role of builders and managers of databases to users of autonomous database cloud services...

If you squint hard enough, many of the challenges of distributed computing appear similar to the work done by the great physicists. Dang, those fellows were smart! Here, I examine some of the most important physics breakthroughs and draw some whimsical parallels to phenomena in the world of computing... just for fun. Read More

We introduce the Visual Data Management System (VDMS), which enables faster access to big-visual-data and adds support to visual analytics. This is achieved by searching for relevant visual data via metadata stored as a graph, and enabling faster access to visual data through new machine-friendly storage formats. VDMS differs from existing large scale photo serving, video streaming, and textual big-data... Read More

The relational schema of a table in a database management system (DBMS) describes its logical attribute information and constraints. Despite the aim of separation between logical schema and physical data storage, in practice, the schema often dictates how a DBMS organizes data on disk or in memory. This tight coupling is because the database's physical schema must match its logical... Read More
