Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

2. Oracle8i Appliance
INTRODUCTION
With the proliferation of databases in nearly all corporations around the world,
there is an increasing need to deploy database solutions quickly and easily on an
operating system.
Typically, configuring and administering a database and operating system are
complicated tasks requiring the services of database administrators (DBAs) and
systems administrators with expert knowledge. Acquiring such services is
difficult due to a shortage of trained DBAs. In addition, many small-to-medium-sized
businesses cannot afford DBA expertise. Employing an experienced
systems administrator is an additional expense and may not seem practical
because many operating system features are not required for the database to run.
Thus, the need exists to provide an easily deployable, centrally manageable, and
low-cost Oracle8i database solution for businesses with limited database or
operating system administration expertise.
This paper targets small-to-large-sized businesses, workgroups, Lines of
Business, branch offices, and Internet Service Providers that:
• Want a complete, ready-to-run, low-cost server platform that provides a
dedicated solution to database management.
• Do not have database administration expertise within their workgroup and
prefer a service provider to assume DBA responsibilities from a single,
remote, centralized location.
• Want to deploy several database servers across their organization (possibly
over a wide geographical area) and centrally manage the servers.
• Do not want to purchase and maintain a general-purpose operating system
(such as Windows NT) that includes many features not required for an
Oracle8i database to run.
Oracle8i Appliance 1
The need exists to provide an easily
deployable, centrally manageable, and
low-cost Oracle8i database solution for
businesses with limited database or
operating system administration
expertise.
3. THE SOLUTION: ORACLE8i APPLIANCE
Oracle8i Appliance is the solution for these businesses. It is an integrated
database appliance that simplifies the deployment of dedicated applications in
hosted service or enterprise environments.
Oracle8i Appliance is shipped fully integrated with the following components:
• An Oracle8i database server that is preinstalled, preconfigured, and
pretuned.
• A seamlessly integrated, slimmed-down operating system with a limited
user interface. The operating system is dedicated to the Oracle8i database
only, and not to maintaining additional applications.
• A standard hardware platform that has been optimally configured to run
the Oracle8i database. The platform requires no additional peripherals and
controllers (such as printers and sound cards) that are typically included
with a general-purpose operating system.
• One or more Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) subsystems.
• Oracle Enterprise Manager Console, a centralized management location
from which remote database and operating system administration are
performed.
• Oracle8i Appliance Console, which enables you to locally perform a
limited set of administration tasks. This character-based console appears
on the monitor attached to the Oracle8i Appliance.
• Oracle WebDB and Oracle JServer (included with the appliance), which
enable Web-based and Java applications to run and be hosted from within
the database.
• Oracle interMedia, which enables storage of multimedia data in the
database.
• Additional third-party products¾for example, Legato NetWorker Client,
which enables network-based backup of the Oracle8i Appliance.
Appliance Computing: The New Technology Wave
Oracle8i Appliance is part of a growing trend in the computer industry to treat
products as “appliances” that can be easily “plugged in” and can operate without
requiring complex configuration or administration procedures.
Appliances run with slimmed-down software, making them simpler, faster, more
accessible, and more reliable than traditional general-purpose products using a
large-scale operating system such as Windows NT. This is the case with
Oracle8i Appliance, which packages an Oracle8i database with a seamlessly
integrated, slimmed-down operating system and an optimally configured
hardware platform.
Oracle8i Appliance 2
Oracle8i Appliance offers a
preconfigured, ready-to-run Oracle8i
platform, a low total cost of ownership,
remote administration capabilities from
an integrated management console,
and reliable, secure operations.
4. Because the Oracle8i Appliance is fully preconfigured and dedicated to just
running the Oracle8i database, it can be thoroughly tested and tuned. This is in
direct contrast to servers running general-purpose operating systems because of
the uncertainty in their configuration and intended use.
Appliances are dedicated to performing a single job, making them easier to
upgrade or replace without interfering with other services. With Oracle8i
Appliance, the slimmed-down operating system kernel is totally dedicated to the
Oracle8i database. In addition, nearly all access to operating system interfaces is
disabled, thus ensuring better security and reliability.
For all of these reasons, system reliability and end-user performance are
improved and costs are reduced.
Lowering the Total Cost of Ownership
Integrating the Oracle8i database with a slimmed-down operating system lowers
the total cost of ownership by:
• Eliminating the need to purchase an operating system or additional
middleware
• Eliminating the need to employ professional services for integration,
tuning, and software installation
• Eliminating the need to employ dedicated operators, DBAs, and systems
administrators
• Reducing periods of downtime, because higher availability means a
reduction in costs associated with downtime (loss of operation, servicing
needs, and so on)

the network to a remote backup server.
You can also deploy traditional client-server applications and host Web-based
applications with Oracle8i Appliance.
Oracle8i Appliance 4
6. ORACLE8i APPLIANCE FEATURES
The following sections describe in more detail how Oracle8i Appliance meets
the need for an easily deployable, centrally manageable, and low-cost Oracle8i
database solution.
Preconfigured Oracle8i Database
Oracle8i Appliance comes packaged with an Oracle8i database that has been
preinstalled and preconfigured to operate reliably and efficiently. This is
achieved by making optimal use of disk space to store database objects and by
configuring the database and operating system parameters to maximize system
utilization. Oracle8i Appliance is available to users and applications through the
following interfaces:
• Net8, which enables a variety of client connections to the database,
including PL/SQL, ODBC, JDBC, and OCI.
• HTTP, which enables Web browser access to the database by connecting
through Oracle WebDB.
In addition, Oracle8i Appliance is preconfigured so that the Oracle8i database is
up and running at system startup time. The Intelligent Agent is also up and
running to provide for remote administration capabilities and lights-out
management features such as backups and fixit jobs.
Plug-and-Play Installation
Oracle8i Appliance software is purchased completely preinstalled,
preconfigured, and predefined on Intel-architecture-based hardware, making it
an “out-of-the-box,” ready-to-run business solution.
Oracle Corporation is partnering with several hardware vendors who will
manufacture and sell the Oracle8i Appliance. The vendors will bundle their
hardware with the Oracle8i Appliance software—database and operating
system—fully integrated, tested, and tuned together. In so doing, compatibility
and performance issues are eliminated, and the system is optimized to serve the
functions for which it was designed: providing secure, reliable, and immediate
database services.
Oracle Enterprise Manager Integrated for Centralized Administration
This section provides an overview of how Oracle Enterprise Manager is used to
centrally manage Oracle8i Appliance.
Remote Administration Through Oracle Enterprise Manager
Database administration is performed from a centralized Oracle Enterprise
Manager Console by your own systems administrator, or remotely by a service
Oracle8i Appliance 5
7. provider. Multiple Oracle8i Appliances can be administered from this
centralized Console.
Management of Oracle8i Appliance Operating System Services
Management of some operating system-related services is performed from the
Oracle Enterprise Manager Console at a centralized location. These services
manage Point-to-Point (PPP) network connections, Oracle WebDB
configuration, and the Oracle8i Appliance internal clock connections (NTPD).
All services are automatically started when the Oracle8i Appliance is started.
You can remotely view, configure, and manage configuration components for
all Oracle8i Appliances.
Service management is protected by authentication methods that are integrated
in Oracle Enterprise Manager for complete data security.
Management of Reports, Logs, and Configuration Files
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Console enables you to:
• Generate reports that detail key operating system, networking, and
database performance information.
• View and delete log files such as trace files, syslog files, network files, and
Intelligent Agent logs.
• View and edit key network, Intelligent Agent, and Oracle WebDB
configuration files.
Remote Upgrades and Patch Installation
Upgrades of software components and installation of patches within software
components can be remotely applied from the Oracle Enterprise Manager
Console. This enables you to download and automatically install component
upgrades and patches on an Oracle8i Appliance from a remote server.
Local or Remote Backup and Recovery
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Backup Management components consist of the
Backup Wizard, Recovery Wizard, Catalog Maintenance Wizard, Backup
Configuration Library, and Create Backup Configuration property sheets. You
use these components to schedule and configure local tape drive backups or
remote network backups to a separate server. Various Legato components are
included with Oracle8i Appliance; however, you need to license an additional
Legato component to perform remote backups.
Local recovery is performed from both the Oracle8i Appliance Console (which
prompts you to insert tapes) and the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.
Remote recovery is performed from both the Oracle Enterprise Manager
Console and the remote backup server.
Oracle8i Appliance 6
8. System Management
The Oracle Enterprise Manager Console enables you to perform system
management tasks, such as:
• Identify the amount of disk space occupied by currently mounted file
systems, the amount of used and available space, and the total amount of
file system capacity used on the Oracle8i Appliance. (Alerts are sent out
when a file system is nearing full capacity.)
• View the amount of free and used physical and swap memory.
• Change Oracle8i Appliance user passwords.
• View and change the host name, domain name, and IP address.
• View the number of network packets transmitted and received.
• View and terminate active processes.
Lights-out Management
Oracle Enterprise Manager provides lights-out management of an Oracle8i
Appliance. One method of providing lights-out management is through the use
of predefined jobs and events.
Oracle8i Appliance provides a customized set of jobs and events for performing
database administration. For example:
• The Sensitive File Monitor job checks the modification dates of key
Oracle8i Appliance files. If these files have changed, then this job backs
them up.
• The Index Rebuild event monitors indexes. When an index needs to be
updated, a fixit job rebuilds the index.
• The Disk Full event monitors disk space. When disk space is nearly full,
an alert message is sent.
Point-to-Point Connections
Support for Point-to-Point (PPP) connectivity is provided as a backup for
administrators whose Ethernet network is down and, therefore, require a dial-up
connection between the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console and the Oracle8i
Appliance. Oracle Enterprise Manager provides a graphical user interface for
configuring and starting a PPP connection.
Oracle8i Appliance 7
9. Automatic and Adaptive Configuration When Scaling Up Hardware
As you add CPUs, RAM, and hard disks to respond to increasing system and
user population demands, the Oracle8i Appliance adaptively reconfigures the
database to reflect any scaled-up hardware.
For example, as you add hard disks, database tablespaces are automatically
reconfigured across those disks. Also, adding CPUs and RAM adaptively
reconfigures your system and database initialization parameters.
Backup Configurations
Two types of backup configurations are available:
Backups to a Local Tape Drive
With this configuration, backups are performed to a tape drive attached locally
to the Oracle8i Appliance. The DBA must create a backup configuration and
submit a backup job using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Backup Management
components. Since backups are performed locally, the DBA must respond to
prompts on the local Oracle8i Appliance Console to insert and remove backup
tapes.
Backups to a Remote Legato Server
With this configuration, backups are performed to a remote Legato NetWorker
Server on the network. The DBA must create a backup configuration and submit
a backup job using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Backup Management
components. The DBA must also specify the remote Legato NetWorker Server
to which to back up the Oracle8i Appliance.
Data Recovery Methods
Oracle8i Appliance provides protection against loss of data by providing a fail-safe
method for restoring lost data. The method of recovery for an Oracle8i
Appliance is determined by the degree of failure in the system. Three types of
failures and the recovery methods are described below:
System Disk Failure
The system disk contains the system distribution and configuration files, the
redo logs, and the control files. If the system disk fails, you use the provided
Oracle8i Appliance CD-ROM to recover the files. As part of this process, you
may need to remove the disk and replace it with a new one.
Mirror Disk Failure
The mirror disk contains swap space, a duplicate copy of the redo logs, and a
duplicate copy of the control files. If the mirror disk fails, you replace the disk
and then run a job from the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.
Oracle8i Appliance 8
10. RAID Disk Failure
The RAID subsystem contains the SYSTEM tablespace, the database files, and
the archive logs. If one RAID disk fails, the database continues to run. You can
wait until a period of low database use to replace the disk.
No Operating System Administration Experience Required
There is limited need for users to interface with the slimmed-down operating
system:
• The entire Oracle8i Appliance software solution and computer hardware
are seamlessly integrated, tested together, and fully tuned prior to being
shipped. This eliminates the need to manually tune the system application
in anticipation of an Oracle8i database or any applications.
• Only the necessary components required to operate the platform are
included in the software solution, thus enabling the system to be dedicated
to secure, reliable database services.
• Manual operating system upgrades are not required because the operating
system is packaged with the Oracle8i database and any application.
If a need arises for interfacing with the operating system, the Oracle Enterprise
Manager Console enables you to manage the Oracle8i Appliance’s essential
services.
Slimmed-Down Operating System Performance
Over the years, operating systems have grown in size, requiring more and more
memory, processing power, and maintenance to remain running. In many ways,
the operating system has become the bottleneck that prevents quick and easy
access to data.
All that is really required is the operating system kernel and a few essential
services to provide basic functions such as CPU scheduling, memory
management, hardware interaction, and security.
The Oracle8i Appliance strategy focuses on identifying which operating system-related
capabilities are absolutely required to run the Oracle8i Appliance and on
slimming down the operating system to get rid of everything else.
The Oracle8i Appliance solution is more open, more reliable, more efficient,
simpler, and a faster way to store and access corporate data.
Oracle8i Appliance 9
11. TYPICAL HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
A typical Oracle8i Appliance hardware configuration includes:
• One to four Pentium II or III Xeon processors
• 1-4 GB of memory
• 25-300 GB of disk space and a RAID controller
• Ethernet connections
• Floppy disk drive, CD-ROM drive, tape drive
• Monitor, video card, keyboard
• Network interface card, modem
FUTURE APPLIANCES
Oracle Corporation may expand the Oracle8i Appliance line to include the
following capabilities:
• A directory appliance to provide an LDAP repository for organizing and
storing lists in a standardized format for network-based environments.
• A file system appliance using iFS, which will enable users to store files
