The "Object-Relational Impedance Mismatch" has been a multi-decade problem for developers, and past solutions have all had various tradeoffs that have compromised efficiency or consistency.  JSON Relational Duality is a breakthrough capability that combines the best aspects of the Document model and the Relational models without the drawbacks of either model. This session will provide an overview and deep dive... Read More

AI Vector Search in Oracle 23ai is a new, transformative way to intelligently search through your unstructured business data efficiently, and accurately, by using AI techniques to match on the semantics, or meaning, of the underlying data. With the inclusion of a new VECTOR datatype, new approximate search indexes, and new SQL operators and extensions, enterprise companies can quickly and... Read More

Persistent memory is a new silicon technology, adding a distinct storage tier of performance, capacity, and price between DRAM and Flash. The persistent memory is physically present on the memory bus of the storage server resulting in reads at memory speed, much faster than flash. Writes are persistent, surviving power cycles, unlike DRAM. Oracle has engineered Exadata Smart PMEM Cache... Read More

This talk gives an overview of Oracle NVM Direct, an open source implementation of a C API to simplify application development for byte addressable Non Volatile Memory. NVM Direct consists of two major components, namely: A precompiler that converts a source file containing C extensions for NVM to a standard C source file. A runtime library to implement NVM regions,... Read More

Autonomous / Self-Driving Databases utilize machine learning techniques to eliminate the manual labor associated with database tuning, security, backups, updates, and other routine management tasks traditionally performed by DBAs. This talk will focus specifically on how we implement a self-performing database with Oracle’s Database In-Memory product to automatically tune for query optimization, memory management, and storage management and data tiering....
