SQL Quarantine
• SQL execution plans consuming excessive
resources are quarantined
• It’s prevented from executing again
• Improves overall responsiveness of the
system by stopping “rogue” SQL
statements being continually resubmitted
• DBA can monitor quarantined statements
in V$SQL
• Controlled by DBMS_SQLQ or

Automatic Indexing
• The Automatic Indexing methodology
is based on a common approach to
manual SQL tuning
• It identifies candidate indexes and
validates them before implementing
• The entire process is fully automatic
• Transparency is equally important as
sophisticated automation
– All tuning activities are auditable via
reporting

21. Copyright © 2019, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Automatic Indexing In Action On Netsuite Workload
• Ran a complex Netsuite workload, and compared ATP to existing expert tuning
• 17,542 SQL statements, 1,852 tables, 8,151 indexes - years of tuning to create these indexes
– Before running on ATP, all indexes and statistics were dropped
22
Achieved identical performance to expert manual tuning

23. Copyright © 2019, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Active Data Guard : DML Redirection
• Allows DML to be executed against the standby database
• On execution the DML operation is passed to the primary database
• The primary database performs the operations and generates the redo
• The redo is then applied to the standby and control returned to the
application
• The transaction is fully ACID compliant
• Allows for incidental updates to be run against the standby increasing the
overall flexibility of the disaster recovery architecture

• New SQL function
JSON_MERGEPATCH enables
you to update specific portions of a
JSON document without having to
replace the entire document
• Imagine we need to update all of
the JSON documents in the
po_document column of the
purchaseorder_tab table to
remove the field "Special
Instructions"
UPDATE purchaseorder_tab
SET po_document = json_mergepatch(
po_document,
'{"Special Instructions":null}’

31. Copyright © 2019, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Real-Time Statistics
• Gather statistics as part of conventional DML
(Insert/update/merge)
• Statistics gathered during DML needs to be fast with
negligible overhead
• Only most essential stats are gathered to avoid
catastrophic SQL execution plan performance
regressions (e.g. avoiding out-of-range conditions)
– Min, Max, num_rows, etc.
• Gathering of remaining statistics is deferred
– Automatic statistics gathering job still kicks in as needed

Hybrid Partitioned Tables
• Extends Oracle Partitioning by enabling partitions to reside in both Oracle
Database segments and in external files
• External partitions may reside on standard file systems, HDFS or Object
Storage (coming soon).
• This model supports the placement of data for long term archiving on
lower cost storage whilst allowing it’s continued online access
• Supports long term access to infrequently accessed data for regulatory
requirements
