PRESENTATIONS BY ODTUG EXPERTS ODTUG will be presenting six technical sessions at Oracle OpenWorld and seventeen sessions at the Develop Conference. Times and location are subject to change. Plan your itinerary with Oracle's Schedule Builder. Oracle Develop Sessions Oracle Develop is a separate developer program at Oracle OpenWorld 2008 offered on Sunday though Tuesday at the San Francisco Marriott. Hear and learn from world-leading experts including ODTUG speakers (17 presentations) about next-generation development trends and technologies for service-oriented architecture (SOA), Extreme Transaction Processing (XTP), virtualization, and Web 2.0. Advance your skills and expand your knowledge in scores of expert-led, in-depth technical sessions and advanced how-tos on Java, .Net, XML, SCA, PL/SQL, Ajax, PHP, Spring, Groovy on Rails, and more. And roll up your sleeves for in-depth, hands-on labs covering the very latest development technologies including database, SOA, Complex Event Processing (CEP), Java, and .NET. Check out these presentations from ODTUG experts. Sunday, September 21 Over the last few years Oracle fully implemented almost every W3C standard (such as XSD, XSLT, and XQuery etc.). The scope of functionality is overwhelming. So where do you start? What will your design be and will this perform? Should one use CLOB, Object Relational or Binary storage; using schema less or schema based storage; would using an XMLIndex be appropriate or an Equi-Partitioned XMLType Nested Table? When should you want to use XML DB in the first place? This presentation will guide you through these first, essential, steps. Sunday, September 21 The presentation will demonstrate how business processes, from frontend to backend can be profiled on high level, by a new developed method called “GAPP”. The method makes it possible to get a high level profiling of a business process without actual change in the business process code, or start any tracing. The method is based on data mining and uses this in a very spectacular way. The data mining is done on already available data like CPU and I/O metrics, but also other metrics can be used. The power of the method is astonishing. Sunday, September 21 Features of Oracle11g/10g impacting application development will be discussed. Emphasis is placed on features that can reduce development time, make development simpler, improve performance, or speed deployment. Specific topics include: new SQL functions, Regular Expressions, virtual columns, Binary XMLType, XML indexing, SQL PIVOT/UNPIVOT, JDBC improvements, PL/SQL enhancements, PL/SQL compiler, trigger improvements, PL/SQL Result Cache, case/accent-insensitive query, expanded LOBs, new data types, Model clause, and the recycle bin. Sunday, September 21 JDeveloper provides a development method, using the Application Development Framework (ADF), and a set of technologies, the Fusion Stack (ADF Business Components and ADF Faces), which greatly simplify Java development tasks. This presentation describes ADF and the Fusion Stack. It explains and demonstrates ADF and the JDeveloper tools you can use to build Java EE web applications. Finally, the presentation offers insight about whether you can achieve the productivity of an Oracle Forms environment using ADF and the Fusion Stack. Sunday, September 21 Fusion Middleware can secure your enterprise, create a service bus to exchange data/services between Oracle apps and existing systems, create workflows, manage documents in a central repository, provide availability to Oracle apps, create/manage reports, and use a Microsoft.NET environment to create Web apps. Products/best practices will be highlighted. Discover how Fusion Middleware can help integrate Siebel and eBusiness Suite into existing systems. Learn how to implement SOA with event driven architecture. A customer case study will be used. Sunday, September 21 Application Express makes it incredibly easy to develop applications however there is always more than one way to achieve something and it can be very difficult to know whether there is a “better” way to do something (and “better” can be very subjective). This presentation will show some hints and tips on features in Application Express which you might not be aware of but you should definitely be using! We will also cover some “best practices” (which can also be very subjective) which can ultimately lead to a more productive development cycle. Sunday, September 21 You probably think that PL/SQL is dull and ordinary programming language. Not so! Parts of it can be downright WEIRD. In this presentation, Steven offers what he considers to be some of the stranger nooks and crannies of the PL/SQL language, perhaps in the process making them a little bit less weird. Monday, September 22 More and more people want to see data in a graphical view. This presentation shows you how to create an advanced "graphical view" of your data in Oracle Application Express (APEX). This presentation will be seasoned with one big live demo! A risk, but I want to "show" it to you! Tuesday, September 22 The benefits of the "Thick Database" approach have been discussed extensively in the last year. What is missing is information about how to implement this approach in real world projects. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the benefits of this approach and then discuss specific details about how to implement in SQL and PL/SQL with emphasis on collections and dynamic SQL/PL/SQL. The presentation will cover server-side support for stateless programming. This presentation is targeted at experienced PL/SQL developers. Monday, September 22 Your ADF application will be used in dozens of organizations by hundreds of users. But there is only a single, hosted instance of the application. How can you build dynamic customization and personalization into your application – that will make it look and act special for every individual user? This includes specialized resource bundles, custom properties, personal notes attached to data records, personal styling and user preferences. Monday, September 22 Oracle PL/SQL makes writing SQL so darned easy – in fact, it is way too easy to write SQL. As a result, PL/SQL developers take SQL totally for granted, and very few organizations have any sort of guidelines in place for when, where and how to write SQL. The result? Developers become addicted to writing SQL. Learn in this presentation what's so bad about writing SQL and how you should change your very naughty ways. Monday, September 22 This case study examines the migration of an enterprise-level, character-mode, Oracle Forms 6.0 application to web technologies based on Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (“Java EE”, formerly known as “J2EE”). The presentation discusses why Fusion development technologies—ADF Faces, UIX, and ADF Business Components—were selected. It also describes why thick database techniques were used for business rules logic and user interface support. Finally, it relates successes and lessons learned in the realms of technology and staff. Monday, September 22 Java may be in your future. However, if you know PL/SQL, your first view of Java may be a bit discouraging because its object-oriented core makes it look very different. This presentation explains to PL/SQL developers who have had little or no exposure to Java, the basic concepts of and terms used in Java. It provides an overview of the language; reviews the concepts of object orientation; and describes the fundamental Java code structures—classes and methods—as well as control statements, exception handling, datatypes, and variables. Monday, September 22 While APEX offers a robust set of features, it doesn’t address all possible scenarios that you may encounter developing your applications. Fortunately, its easy to use a number of 3rd party tools to enhance and/or supplement APEX's functionality. This presentation will demonstrate and discuss how to use APEX to create contacts and appointments in Outlook; how to create a dynamic DHTML-based tree; how to create and manage a Gantt chart; how to display your data on a map using FusionMaps; and how to use PL/PDF to quickly create PDF documents. Tuesday, September 23 So Oracle has come out with another version. You probably won't be using it for years, so why should you bother learning about what's new in Oracle11g PL/SQL now? A very reasonable question, and the answer is: because once you understand what will be possible in Oracle11g, it will change the way you write your code now! This session will offer an overview of the most exciting new features for PL/SQL in Oracle 11g and prove to you beyond the shadow of a doubt that you should be designing your code at this moment to get ready for that version.

Oracle OpenWorld Sessions Times and location are subject to change. Plan your itinerary with Oracle's Schedule Builder. Monday, September 22 In this session, we look at how Oracle Real-Time Decisions can used to create a self-learning, predictive decision engine that can be used to automate a range of business decisions. We see how a project is constructed, how RTD concepts are applied to the scenarios, how RTD leverages data mining and predictive modeling techniques, and how RTD functionality is then incorporated into your Java business applications and BPEL business processes. Tuesday, September 23 In this presentation, we look at techniques to transform disparate normalized application data into the single logical star schema required by Oracle Business Intelligence Server. We examine data modeling situations such as ragged hierarchies, slowly-changing dimensions, joining facts of differing granularity, incorporating historic and real-time data, and look at how you can extend the pre-defined warehouse that comes with Oracle BI Applications as an alternative to creating your own data warehouse from scratch. Wednesday, September 24 Some people want to optimize their Essbase cubes for calculation performance. Others want to reduce the speed of data loading or improve the performance of retrievals. The best place to start no matter what you're optimizing is the common factor across all of these: the Essbase outline. This presentation will cover essential outline optimization topics like dimension order, density and sparsity, tuning compression to the outline order, dynamic calculations, proper attribute dimension usage, and more. Wednesday, September 24 Thursday, September 25 It is easy to define an application as either “statefull” or “stateless.” In some environments, it is simply a matter of checking a checkbox. However, it is very difficult to make the appropriate selection without a complete understanding of what each option actually entails from a database point of view. This presentation will explain the differences between “statefull” and “stateless” applications, what choices should be considered when making the decision about which to use, and existing best practices. Thursday, September 25 This session will show how to work more efficiently with your Planning implementation, impressing both users and management. You will learn how to get the most out of Planning functionality and how to best optimize and manage your application. We will also step away from the technology-side of things for a bit & discuss strategic issues and best practices to consider in developing your budgeting & forecasting process.
