Smart Database Architecture for Software Development
About the Webinar
Is the database a processing engine or a persistence layer? In this presentation we'll first go through a bit of history demonstrating how the database has been used in the past 30 years: at times it was a processing engine, and at other times it was just a persistence layer.
Having witnessed many application development projects, we are convinced that the database ought to be used as a processing engine. The persistence layer approach, where all business logic is implemented outside the database has serious drawbacks in the areas of initial application development, ongoing maintenance, and most notably in the area of performance and scalability.
We'll discuss these drawbacks, in particular the last one: We'll debunk once and for all that moving business logic out of the database benefits performance and scalability.
About the Presenter
Toon has been part of the Oracle eco-system since 1987. He is currently a member of Oracle's Real World Performance Team. The RWP-team troubleshoots application performance issues in and around the Oracle Database. The way applications currently use (or rather, abuse) the DBMS, is often at the root of these performance issues. Prior to joining the RWP team, Toon has been mainly involved in database application development. His special interests are: architecting applications for performance and scalability, database design, and business rules / constraints modeling. He is a long-time champion of using the database in a smart way, i.e. using the database as a processing engine.
