First of all, this is not a recall notice for your data warehouse...! This is one of those cool features that come with Oracle 11g that I think is usable in a different context (e.g. Data Warehousing).The first thing I dreamed up here, and I'm sure others have thought about this, is the usage of flashback features in ETL. Every ETL system that I know has a construct built in to remove "incorrect" data. Incorrect here is simply a load that did for some reason more harm than...

I figured, since we proclaim data warehousing such a broad area to venture out and look at some of the data mining functionality in the database. Now I'm only scratching the surface of that wonderful world here, but I figured it is worthwhile.We used a couple of things here, one is OWB (Oracle Warehouse Builder) the other is the data mining option in Oracle Database 11g.Supermodels; you are kidding right?Well actually we are not and that is of course why you are reading this....

I was thinking back to the Warehouse Builder days and the pivot and unpivot operators we built into the tool. Wanted to check out the SQL commands in 11g and see how that works, so I dug around in the documentation.First thing I noticed is that we use EXTRACT in the pivot example, and I somehow missed the fact that we have that as syntax in Oracle. I haven't figured out when we introduced that (if anyone has the answer let me know)...Anyways, and in no means to be complete...

I'm not sure everyone is aware of the fact that you can use external tables these days to work with data pump export files. You can read in data using an external table, or you can unload data. For more information on this one read the actual syntax here.Very recently, that is as in 11.1.0.7 of the RDBMS we also added something called pre-processing to the external table syntax. Here is a small syntax example in "pseudo code":CREATE TABLE sales_external(…)ORGANIZATION...
