Oracle *daily* TidBits” (#oratidbit) published on Facebook &Twitter, during weekdays in September 2019. Hope you find these helpful to learn something new or to remind you of its existence and use.

#OraTidbit Oracle Developer Studio includes a compiler suite, an analysis suite, and a graphical integrated development environment (IDE). They provide a development environment that is optimized for developing applications with the best performance on Oracle Sun hardware.
#OraTidbit Oracle Machine Learning provides a notebook-style application designed for advanced SQL users and provides interactive data analysis that lets you develop, document, share, and automate reports based on sophisticated analytics and data models.
#OraTidbit #OracleCloud Work Requests in Oracle Autonomous Database let you track the progress of database lifecycle management operations such as creating, terminating, backing up (manual), restoring, scaling, and cloning.
#OraTidbit #OracleCloud Autonomous Transaction Processing database includes automated index management tasks such as creating, rebuilding, and dropping indexes based on changes in the application workload.
#OraTidbit #OracleCloud Autonomous Transaction Processing database includes gathering real-time statistics automatically while a conventional DML workload is running. This helps the optimizer generate more optimal plans.
#OraTidbit #OracleCloud Autonomous Transaction Processing database includes gathering statistics automatically on a more frequent basis (default is 15 minutes). High-frequency automatic optimizer statistics collection complements the standard statistics collection job.
#OraTidbit You can use Oracle Enterprise Manager to discover and manage dedicated Autonomous Transaction Processing databases, provided you are using Enterprise Manager version 13.3 with EM DB Plugin Bundle Patch 13.3.2.0.190731 (or higher).
#OraTidbit gridSetup.sh can be used with the -dryRunForUpgrade option for dry run testing of Oracle Grid Infrastructure upgrade and enables you to verify whether the system is ready for an upgrade. This mode does not perform an actual upgrade.
#OraTidbit The LOG_FILE_NUM_<listener_name> and LOG_FILE_SIZE_<listener_name> parameters in the listener.ora specifies the number of log file segments and the size of each log file segment. If the log grows beyond the number of segments, then the older segments are deleted.
#OraTidbit Oracle Data Safe is a fully-integrated Cloud service focused on the security of your data. It provides a complete and integrated set of features for protecting sensitive and regulated data in Oracle Cloud databases.
#Oratidbit #AutonomousDB Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse (#ADW) supports dedicated deployments now. Autonomous Transaction Processing (#ATP) dedicated were available since June 2019.

#CodeOne Session: Let’s Talk AI, ML & DL

Date: Tuesday, 2019-Sep-17 6:00 PM
Location: Moscone South – Room 202
Session: DEV2161

Abstract: You hear everywhere that your job will be taken over by machines and that you need to be doing something else to be relevant. If the job involves making a decision based on a pattern or data analysis (radiology, for example), you can be sure that such a position will undergo a drastic transformation soon. Uber completed 10 billion rides in 2018, almost doubling the number of trips from 2017 to 2018. AI is used everywhere possible in Uber. Uber has changed your life and impacted millions of taxi drivers. This session goes over the basics of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning (DL) and discusses how these technologies impact you as a human being and as an IT pro. The future is bright; AI is a partnership, not a war.

The movies we watch usually portray intelligent machines being bad and set to destroy humans. Thanks to my colleagues who told me about the War Games movie. This one and the Terminator movie were released in the ’80s. AI is pure fiction in these movies, and give the notion that AI is something the humans must be scared of. AI has come a long way since the ’80s. Now AI is is part of our everyday life – We talk to “Siri”, ask “Alexa” to turn the light on or to play music.

The other aspect of AI is automation. They say the typical jobs that exist today will go away (like the DBA job). I think it is partly true – any job that involves repetitive tasks or analyzing images (radiology) will go through a transformation in the era of automation. That does not mean the job will go away. What you do may have to change.

AI and ML are going to play a major role in enterprises. To be successful and relevant, you must at least know the basics of AI & ML and understand how to use the AI/ML systems. If you are not familiar with Machine Learning, come to this introductory session to learn the basics, a few terminologies and most importantly what you can do to prepare yourself. Will share the job market trends and what is required to be a “Data Architect” or “Data Scientist”.
