How to Figure Out Why Your Query Is Taking Foreeeevvvvveeeerrrrr…IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS!
Presented by:
Kaley Crum, ABC Financial Services
Anyone who’s familiar with tuning SQL knows that you need to get the execution plan for a query. But once you’ve got an execution plan, what do you do with it? Everyone understands that an execution plan is important for diagnosing, but almost no one knows how to answer questions like “which step in the execution plan is taking the longest?” “Which hardware component (CPU, Memory, Disk) is causing my query’s bottleneck?” “Is my parallel query making good use of its resources, or are they being wasted?” If you have the Oracle Tuning and Diagnostic Pack license for your database and 30 seconds, you can find the answer to these questions–and more!
A use case for machine learning: Creating a recommendation system at SLCC
Presented by:
Michelle Hardwick, Salt Lake Community College
At Salt Lake Community College, we used case studies from e-commerce to build a similar recommendation system that recommends to students their ideal class schedule for the next semester, to ease the process of registering. This recommender tool took into account the student’s preferences for campus location, time of day, and faculty member in choosing the perfect courses for them. We’ll talk about how we built this, tested it, our initial results and how we are working to improve this.
10 things every DBA needs to do that has nothing to do with Databases
Presented by:
Gary Gordhamer, INNIO
Many DBA’s want to be better DBA’s, and many nonDBA’s want to become DBA’s. Often the primary training for this is in technical topics, memorizing tons of details, or being able to be the first to solve a technical issue. Yet some of the best DBA’s I’ve known over the past 25 years start with “I don’t know”. So what 10 things do you need to to do to be a great DBA that has nothing to do with databases? How you interact with others in writing, reading, communication, talking, presenting, being able to repeat things, and more.
