ADF DVT: Visualizing valid periods using Project and Scheduling Gantt Charts
0In a recent article – Advanced SQL to find valid periods – juggling with outer joins, running totals and analytical functions – I discussed how to use Analytical Functions in SQL to cleverly (!) derive the valid periods from a database table that contains periods of inclusion and exclusion. A valid period is a period for which there is at least one inclusion and for which there is no exclusion. I used several powerpoint based graphics to illustrate the business case. For example:
to depict the periods of inclusion and exclusion and this figure to demonstrate how to derive the valid periods (the blue bars):
After completing this article – and fiddling around in Powerpoint quite a bit – I realized that for visualizing data in a table, I have a perfect tool at my fingertips: the Data Visualization Tags (DVT) in ADF 11g are created for this very purpose: turning data into information through visualization. And this rich library of DVTs components contains – in addition to fairly straightforward visualizations such as bar charts, pie charts and line graphs – also more complex visualization components such as the Bubble Chart, Thematic Map and Gantt Chart. The Gantt Chart has three More >
The Very Very Latest in Database Development – slides from the Expertezed presentation
0I have just completed my first ever presentation on the Expertezed.com network – http://www.expertezed.com/ , a reprise from my session on Oracle OpenWorld 2012. This presentation includes a number of slides regarding 12c features, based on the session and slides from Tom Kyte (Top 12 new features) and my notes from the excellent session CON8511 – Temporal Database Capabilities with the Latest Generation of Database Technology that I attended during the conference.

OOW 2012: The Very Very Latest in Database Development (CON4792)
0Database development in the Oracle Database is crucial for creating well balanced multi tier applications. This presentation describes a number of useful facilities and application architecture considerations around the database, taking into account some of the most recent insights.
The official slide deck from this presentation at Oracle Open World 2012:
Update day to second interval column in selection from time gaps table by parsing strings containing time differences using REGEXP_SUBSTR
2An apparently trivial challenge that still took me bit longer than expected. What is the situation: I have a table with two columns (of interest). One is a column called gap, with values like these:
Each value represents a time difference. These values are strings – not much use to calculate with. Therefore a second column in the table – called timegap – is defined, of type INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND. The challenge I am facing is to set the value of this column timegap based on the time difference described by the string in column gap.
With a little bit of SQL agility, using for example some regular expressions and an interesting update on [the result of] an inline view, it turns out to be doable in a fairly simple SQL statement.
