The Map-Reduce model has become a popular way for programmers to describe and implement parallel programs. These custom map-reduce programs are often used to process a large data set in parallel. This post shows how to implement Map-Reduce Programs within the Oracle database using Parallel Pipelined Table Functions and parallel operations. The Theory Pipelined Table Functions were introduced in Oracle 9i as a way of embedding procedural logic within a data flow. At a logical...

By now you probably heard the news of the Oracle Database 11g Release 2. It is available and comes with a number of very interesting features for data warehousing.Obviously now you want to try this, so here is the download site for the software (OTN License required of course). The data warehouse collateral can be found on OTN as well, so here is the link for that.I would recommend everyone to first and foremost read the update on what the Oracle Database offers for data...

Got this comment on the blog from Satish. Satish is proposing (or forced) to create backup tables instead of using partitioning. I'm not sure you want to go there.If you do, I think you will need to create views to show the data as a single entity, this means that you need to change the application to read from the views rather than from the original tables (or rename the tables first, then create views with the original names). You then want to compress the backup tables. So...

Got a little busy there with all the comments on the Netezza posting, but now we're back into some of the outstanding topics. This post is the next one on discussing some of the ODTUG session questions (see this post).One of the questions was about the use of partitioning and whether it is made obsolete by Exadata off-loading...In other words, should you look at one, the other or both? The answer is that you will want both, and there are a variety of reasons for that.First of...

This is your chance to learn from the experts in development. Maria is going to do a webcast in the BIWA TechCast series on the optimizer. August 5, 9am Pacific Time.Since its introduction in Oracle7, people have been fascinated and intimidated by the cost-based optimizer and the statistics it relies on. While the Optimizer becomes more and more transparent and requires less and less attention, still a lot of people feel 'left out' and consider whatever happens inside the...

Continuing on with this theme of securing your data warehouse…The next stage, having secured the transmission of all data be accessed via SQL net, is to make sure that all tools and applications, or as many as possible, use these encrypted network transmission processes. Lets look at some of these tools in more detail:SQLDeveloperThis requires the use of SQLDeveloper 1.5 or later. There are a number of ways to configure database connections in SQLDeveloper and SQLDeveloper...

Does anyone take data security within their warehouse seriously? This is not a trick or facetious question because, according to news posting on the web a few weeks ago most of the major systems, including the data warehouse, of a well-known Telco company were hacked. This made me wonder: how secure are most data warehouses?In general, when analysts and consultants take about data security the emphasis, or perceived emphasis, seems to be on the operational systems especially...
