Topic:
Oracle Database Security
This presentation will address Oracle database security. Topics included will features and techniques within the database that DBAs can leverage to make their environment more secure and in line with compliance requirements.
Topic:
Beyond TOAD
We find that most Toad users utilize only 20% of the product, when they could be getting so much more out of it. This session will introduce you to some of the most effective tips for getting the most out of your Toad investment. We will show you how to boost productivity, significantly improve your organization's code quality, optimize database performance and reduce risks associated with database changes. Plus, we will give you unique insight into the newest Toad release, including remote access and execution of Toad scripts from a web-browser or mobile device. And, storage of Toad scripts and settings online – even synchronize them across multiple computers. Join us for this informative session. 2012 Meetings December

2012 Monthly Meeting.
This presentation will discuss various approaches to leverage Oracle’s scalability features. We will cover the concepts and dictionary related to transactions and various concurrency controls. We will discuss how Oracle achieves concurrency using multi-versioning transaction model. We will review 11g scalability features like Mutex implementation, fine grained dependency management, adaptive cursor sharing , server result cache, and partitioning enhancement. Oracle is designed to be a scalable database but certain application design and programming practices can cause significant locking and inhibit scalability. With the knowledge of oracle’s internal mechanism of concurrency controls we should be able to avoid the performance issues related to scalability and avoid many data integrity and consistency issues related to deadlocks and lost updates.
This presentation discusses near-zero downtime database migration in a 24x7 environment. Topics covered will include tools and techniques that can be used to maximize the benefit and minimize the costs compared to traditional Oracle migrations. Jeff's presentation May 2012 April
2012 Monthly Meeting.
This will be a practical technical presentation in which we will see how we can use Oracle Clusterware to make applications (database and otherwise) highly available. March
2012 Monthly Meeting.
Oracle 11g databases can scale to handle tremendous volumes of data, but some effort is involved to avoid the dastardly villians that would sabotage your success. This presentation will help DBAs avoid the villainous techniques and pitfalls in code and schema designs, as well as summon the super-heroes that can assist you in creating super-scaled data applications. David's presentation March 2012 February
2012 Monthly Meeting.
There are many types of computer appliances in the market today -- storage, network, anti-spam, virtual machine, mobile (iPhone), etc., all with the goal to provide unique capabilities and features by tightly integrating hardware, software and firmware. Over the last 4 years, Oracle has produced a series of engineered systems that cover databases, middleware and analytics. In 2008, Oracle launched Exadata, its first database machine for data warehouses. A year later, Oracle released Exadata Version 2 which was the first OLTP database machine. And just recently (Sep 2011), it has introduced the Oracle Database Appliance (ODA), an affordable, reliable and easy-to-use engineered system targeted for partners, small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) and departments of large companies. This presentation will address the following questions: what is ODA, what unique capabilities does it possess, what value does it offer an IT organization and ISV and what use cases does it cover. The database environment deployment and database creation steps will be covered to show how a high availability database can be stood up in less than 2 hours. Through this presentation, you should gain a deeper understanding of the benefits and trade-offs associated with a database appliance. January
Monthly Meeting Time: 7:00 PM Speaker: Bill Kendall (William.Kendall@biascorp.com) Topic: GoldenGate. This presentation will progress from the traditional GoldenGate use cases into a deep dive of the auditing capabilities of Oracle GoldenGate. We will cover capturing before and after images of each record through the entire transaction lifecycle, along with recording critical information about the change to the record. This change capture information can include the time the record was changed, the user who changed the record, the operation that was performed against the record, and many other variables that can provide deep insight through detailed audit reports and portals. These capabilities have allowed many of the top financial services and healthcare companies to rapidly and accurately respond to the increased demand for detailed auditing information without highly modifying or swapping out their current infrastructure. This functionality and flexibility provided by Oracle GoldenGate has directly translated into a competitive advantage for these firms. Click Here to see PDF presentation
