NOVO: Oracle Live SQL

A Oracle apresentou recentemente uma ferramenta SQL online de nova geração chamada Live SQL. O Live SQL é um género de motor de pesquisa para programadores de base de dados, mas é também uma ferramenta grátis de aprendizagem para  todas as pessoas que queiram aprender a programar SQL numa base de dados Oracle.

O Oracle Live SQL foi criado para proporcionar à comunidade de base de dados Oracle uma ferramenta online fácil de utilizar, para testar e partilhar os conceitos e os exemplos de desenvolvimento em SQL e PL/SQL.

Segue uma descrição mais detalhada do Live SQL.

Many of technical articles and blog posts have sample data and SQL code ready to be copied/pasted to SQL Developer or SQLPlus. Still you need to access an actual Oracle Database instance. Of course one can always download and install the database (free for developers) but now there is an even quicker way with Oracle Live SQL, as it gives you access to an Oracle Database thru a web browser - no installation, etc required.

Oracle Live SQL presents some very interesting brand new features and services, such as: 

• Support to help Oracle sql worksheet access to Oracle Schema
• Ability to save share sql
• Introducing dynamic training tutorials
• Support schema browser for viewing data objects

Oracle Live SQL main page offers two options: 

1. Start Coding
2. View Script and Tutorials

1.Start Coding: This section contains to development tool for developer. This part is managing from left tool bar and developer can use some features. Such as SQL worksheet, SQL session, schema, design, SQL script and comunity code. Community code feature is support to better learn for SQL.

2.View Script and Tutorials: This option is related to better learn about SQL. This part contains many SQL code samples and tutorials. Before Oracle Live SQL, many developers didn't find adequate SQL development documents. However, with this service, Oracle database developer can smoothly find all necessary docs.

Get instant access to the Oracle Database and learn from a collection of community scripts and tutorials. Write your own SQL scripts and easily share with others.

Oracle is investing in cloud development and now developers can smoothly learn and try Live SQL platform simply with their oracle.com account. For more information please visit OTN (Oracle Technology Network ) web page and also please visit Oracle Live SQL web page.

NOVO: Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) 12c

BI 12c is the strategic foundation of Oracle’s analytics platform, delivering significant new value and lower total cost of ownership to the many existing Oracle BI customers, as well as being a compelling analytics platform for new customers.  BI 12c is critical to Oracle’s hybrid strategy, complementing BI Cloud capabilities by making fast, friendly data visualization and managed, scalable enterprise-class analytics available on-premises.

The new Data Visualization offering appeals to a large set of existing Oracle BI users, as well as opening up expansion opportunities with new users.

What’s New

BI 12c delivers a major update to the Oracle BI platform, with enhancements across the entire platform, as well as new Data Visualization capabilities.  Highlights and benefits include:

Easy to upgrade:  BI 12c offers a radically simple and robust upgrade from 11g, saving customers time and effort in moving to the new version.  BI 12c includes a free utility to automate regression testing, the Baseline Validation Tool, which verifies data, visuals, catalog object metadata, and system-generated SQL across 11g and 12c releases.

• More Visual:  A consistent set of Data Visualization capabilities are now available across Oracle BI Cloud Service and Oracle BI 12c, as well as the upcoming Oracle Data Visualization Cloud Service, offering customers a continuity of visual experience unmatched by our competitors.  Business users can point and click to upload personal data and blend it with IT-managed data in BI 12c, which automatically infers connections between data sets.  Visualizing data is as easy as dragging attributes onto the screen, with optimal visualizations automatically displayed – no modeling or upfront configuration required.  Related data is automatically connected, so highlighting data in one visual, highlights correlated data in every other visual, immediately showing patterns and revealing new insights.  These insights, along with narrative comments, can be shared as interactive visual stories, enabling seamless collaboration that drives fact-based decisions.
• More Advanced Analytics:  Predictive analysis is more tightly integrated, enabling customers to more easily forecast future conditions based on existing data points, group elements that are statistically similar, and expose outliers.  BI 12c includes the ability to run the free Oracle R distribution on BI Server, and extend existing analytics with custom R scripts, which can point to any engine (R, Oracle Database, Spark, etc.) without needing to change the BI RPD to deliver results.
• More Mobile:  Keyword search (“BI Ask”) empowers users to literally talk to their data, asking questions and having visualizations automatically created as responses, opening up an easy entry point for authoring.  Additionally, the interface for iOS has been completely redesigned; and Mobile BI for Android offers sharing and following for nearby devices, as well as the ability to project any dashboard or story to GoogleCast-enabled devices.
• Faster:  Sophisticated in-memory processing includes BI Server optimizations and support for multiple in-memory data stores, while in-memory Essbase on Exalytics offers enhanced concurrency and scalability, as well as significant performance gains.
• Friendlier:  Usability updates throughout BI 12c demonstrate Oracle’s continued commitment to making analytics as fast, flexible, and friendly as they are powerful and robust.  A new user interface simplifies the layout for the homepage, Answers, and Dashboards, making it easier for users to quickly see what’s important; HTML-5 graphics improve view rendering; and it’s easier for users to create new groups, calculations, and measures, for simpler, more direct interaction with results.
• Bigger Data:  BI 12c enables customers to use new data, from local, Oracle, and Big Data sources, including personal files uploaded by users; direct access to data in Hyperion Financial Management and Hyperion Planning applications; and ODBC access to Cloudera Impala.
• Higher ROI, Lower TCO:  Streamlined administration and life cycle management reduce the time and resources required to manage BI 12c, decreasing costs and increasing value for this and future releases.  Enhancements include separating metadata from configuration; simpler, more robust security; easier backup, restore, and disaster recovery; hot patching of metadata; and many more.

Oracle BI 12c is available for download from OTN

• Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition Documentation
• Migrate v11g Oracle Business Intelligence to v 12c
• Getting Started with Oracle Data Visualization

Tutorials:

• Creating Analyses and Dashboards in OBI EE 12c

Oracle OpenWorld 2015: On Demand Video

Veja aqui em diferido as principais apresentações do Oracle OpenWorld 2015.

NOVO: Oracle Database Standard Edition 2

A Oracle anunciou recentemente a disponibilidade da Base de Dados Standard Edition 2, com as mesmas funcionalidades e preços da anterior Standard Edition.

Com a chegada da Standard Edition 2 (SE2), as edições Standard Edition (SE) e Standard Edition One (SE1) deixarão de ser comercializadas (a partir de 1 de Dezembro).

A SE2 inclui, tal como o SE, a funcionalidade de RAC. No entanto, a SE2 apresenta algumas restrições de utilização face às edições SE/SE1: 

• Apenas corre em servidores com um máximo de 2 sockets (no SE eram 4 sockets e no SE1 2 sockets)

• Foi aplicada uma restrição técnica (não apenas contratual) que limita a utilização do SE2 a um máximo de 16 threads por base de dados 

• O mínimo licenciamento é de 10 NUP por Servidor (nos SE/SE1 eram 5 por servidor)

O clientes podem migrar de SE ou SE1 para SE2 usando uma migração 1:1 (Processador ou NUP). Nota: No caso do SE1 será aplicado um 'uplift' de 20% no valor do suporte. 

Dependendo do ambiente dos clientes que tinham SE/SE1, o processo de migração poderá eventualmente implicar terem de:

• Fazer um 'downsize' para um servidor com 2 sockets se anteriormente tivessem servidores com 4 sockets

• Adquirir licenças adicionais Named User Plus para ficarem em conformidade com os novos mínimos para o SE2 

• Fazer um 'upgrade' para Oracle Database Enterprise Edition se estivessem a correr a base de dados SE em mais de 16 threads

Os parceiros ISV (com acordos de distribuição ASFU e/ou ESL), cujos acordos de distribuição que mencionem explicitamente a utilização de SE/SE1 no respectivo APRF (Application Package Resgistration Form), poderão continuar a distribuir os produtos antigos até ao termo da validade desses acordos, altura em que deverão passar  a distribuir o novo SE2.

Oracle anuncia data de disponibilidade do Java 9

Ao fim de vários anos de desenvolvimento, a Oracle anunciou finalmente que a próxima versão do Java será disponibilizada a 22/Set/2016. A maior inovação do Java 9 é a sua modularização, permitindo aos utilizadores carregar e/ou instalar apenas os componentes necessários para uma dada aplicação ou tarefa. A Oracle levou 5 anos a implementar esta nova funcionalidade, uma vez que, para conseguir atingir este objectivo de modularidade, teve de fragmentar e reconstruir todo o código do Java.

A Oracle actualiza Ferramentas de Desenvolvimento para Public Cloud Services

O grupo de Database Application Development Tools da Oracle anunciou hoje a disponibilidade de duas importantes actualizações à sua oferta de ferramentas de desenvolvimento SQL Developer. 

Oracle SQL Developer is a free integrated development environment that simplifies the development and management of Oracle Database in both traditional and Cloud deployments. SQL Developer offers complete end-to-end development of your PL/SQL applications, a worksheet for running queries and scripts, a DBA console for managing the database, a reports interface, a complete data modeling solution, and a migration platform for moving your 3rd party databases to Oracle. 

O 'post' seguinte, escrito por Jeff Smith, Senior Principal Product Manager da Oracle, apresenta e explica estas novidades.

Oracle Updates Development Tools for Public Cloud Services

by Jeff Smith

Oracle SQL Developer version 4.1 and Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 4.1 are now generally available. The two products empower customers to design, develop, and deploy best-of-breed applications running on-premises or in Oracle Database Cloud Services.

“We are very pleased with the strong adoption of Oracle SQL Developer,” said Michael J. Hichwa, Vice President of Oracle Database Tools.  “SQL Developer has been embraced by the developer community as the de-facto standard database IDE for designing, developing, and DBA activities.  Don’t let the dot 1 version fool you, this release is packed full of good stuff.”

Oracle SQL Developer version 4.1

Oracle SQL Developer, with its 4,000,000+ active users, serves as the IDE for Oracle SQL and PL/SQL and as the GUI for Oracle Database. In our latest release we have introduced several new features as well as enhanced some of the more popular ones to be easier to use and to provide additional value.

Perhaps the most noteworthy new feature is our one-button-click solution for copying on-premises Oracle Databases to the Oracle Database Cloud Service.

A database administrator simply right-clicks on a 12c Multitenant Pluggable Database and chooses to either move, or copy to their Cloud Service. When the operation is complete, the database is automatically made available in the Oracle Database Cloud Service.

Additionally, Oracle SQL Developer offers tighter integration with Oracle REST Data Services. Starting with the 4.1 release, SQL Developer can now install, configure, and run Oracle REST Data Services version 3.0 without any additional downloads.

SQL Developer will also make automatic RESTful services available for entire schemas or selected tables when connected to an Oracle Database being serviced by Oracle REST Data Services.

Database Administrators can also enjoy a new interface for checking on the activity in their database using SQL Developer’s DB Instance page. All in a single view, administrators can observe critical metrics in real-time around IO, networking, wait events, storage, and more. Each activity graph can be drilled down into a detailed report so that immediate action can be taken to address any problems.
