Oracle has had a long history with graph technologies, with support of RDF Triplestores going back more than ten years. During that period property graphs were introduced to big data solutions and more recently to Oracle RDBMS as well. All graph technology at Oracle are available via the Spatial & Graph product line, which extends Oracle RDBMS and Big Data. While there is a lot of competition out there in the graph space, nobody has a more scalable, more performant offering...

Most organizations and vendors jumped on that bandwagon and everything became “service-oriented”. Organizations and vendors both made great claims about how SOA would revolutionize the way applications were built, the amount of reuse that would be achieved, and how application time to market would be greatly reduced. In addition,...

1. Introduction In very simplistic terms Machine Learning is the science of getting computers to learn, without being explicitly programmed. So, how do computers learn? They learn, just like we do, through experience. They perform a task, measure its performance and with experience, improve the performance. Tom Mitchell, a professor at CMU, describes Machine Learning as "A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and...

Introduction This document will walk you through how to configure Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) replication between On-Premises Oracle Database to an Oracle Database Cloud Service (DBCS) on Oracle Public Cloud (OPC) using Virtual Private Network as a Service (VPNaaS). The VPNaaS is another way Oracle provides VPN connectivity between On-Premises and OPC. For a list of available options for VPN GGCS connectivity between On-Premises and OPC, you can check the previous article...

Introduction With the increasing adoption of Oracle Cloud among customers, one of the key challenges the IT security teams face is managing network access of the newly purchased SaaS services. The security teams are strict on enforcing the rules and regulations around IT security, and they expect their new SaaS subscriptions to adhere to these rules as well. One such rule is controlling network access, and IP-Address Whitelisting is the predominant solution to achieve that....
