Chief Data Officers. Data Cultures. Big Data. Data Scientists. Data as a Service. Is "data" really some kind of shiny new object? What's going on here? Isn't data just data (big or small)?

Session #9

dbps icon 25x25Measurements, Scales & Encoding for Database
Joe Celko has looked deep into the code of SQL programmers and found a consistent and troubling pattern - a frightening lack of consistency between their individual encoding schemes and those of the industries in which they operate. This translates into a series of incompatible databases, each one an island unto itself that is unable to share information with others in an age of internationalization and business interdependence. Such incompatibility severely hinders information flow and the quality of company data. This session provides a theoretical look at how scales and measurements work and how to design an encoding scheme for a data element based on the scale used for it.

Many believe performance tuning and troubleshooting is an art which has been lost in time. The truth is that the art has evolved with time and there are more tools and techniques to overcome ancient troublesome scenarios. There are three major resources when bottlenecks create performance problems: CPU, IO and memory. In this session, we focus on high CPU scenarios detection and their resolutions. If time permits, other performance-related tips and tricks will be also be covered. At the end of the session, attendees will have clear ideas and action items regarding what to do when facing any of the above resource intensive scenarios.
