What is Oracle Parallel Query?

Oracle Parallel Query (formerly Oracle Parallel Query Option or PQO) allows one to break-up a given SQL statement so that its parts can run simultaneously on different processors in a multi-processor machine. Typical operations that can run in parallel are: full table scans, sorts, sub-queries, data loading etc.

he foundation of Oracle Real Application Clusters revolves around parallelism. The original name for RAC was OPS, for Oracle Parallel Server. With RAC, it is possible for an intra-parallel operation to utilize the processors across the nodes, using the second argument in the Oracle PARALLEL hint.  This gives an additional degree of parallelism while executing in parallel.


Oracle Parallel Query in a distributed environment:
In a distributed environment, pieces of a table may reside on many remote servers. You can access all of the remote rows in a single query, using inter-instance parallel execution in a distributed architecture where local customer tables are kept on each instance. Below example executes query from the north_carolina instance, accessing two remote instances in-parallel. The north_carolina instance drives the distributed parallel query and it is the north_carolina instance that must gather and sort the result set.

select customer_name, sum(purchase_amount) from sales
union
select customer_name, sum(purchase_amount) from sales@san_francisco
union
select customer_name, sum(purchase_amount) from sales@new_york
group by customer_name;

SAAS Simple Maturity Model

There are two architectural models – commonly referred as SAAS Maturity models- that describe the transition of a service to what is called Multi-tenant efficient, highly scalable application. The SAAS Maturity model described by Microsoft has four distinct stages and is illustrated below. Another similar well-known model for SaaS-maturity is known as Forrester-model but adds another stage known as "Dynamic Business Apps-as-a-service". The three key Attributes of a SAAS Architecture: Configurability: Metadata used to configure the way the application behaves for customers Multi-tenant Efficiency : Maximizing the sharing of resources across tenants Scalability: Maximizing concurrency, resource efficiency SAAS Simple Maturity Model (Microsoft, 2006) SaaS Maturity Model (Forres...

CXF Example –Web Service Using Spring and Maven

Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build Web Services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS and JAX-RS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI. Support for bottom up approach and top down approach. Support for Standards JAX-WS, JSR-181, SAAJ, JAX-RS SOAP 1.1, 1.2, WS-I BasicProfile, WS-Security, WS-Addressing, WS-RM, WS-Policy WSDL 1.1 MTOM Building Web Services – Example 1 Develop a simple Web Service using CXF framework. The example in this case is an InterestRate Service. Tools / technologies Version CXF 2.1 Maven 2.0 Tomcat apache-tomcat-6.0.24 JDK java version 1.6.0_20       The Application Scope The "Interest Rate Service" application demonstrates how easily you can develop a Web Service using CXF frame work. The WSDL service definition defines three operations. Below is the InterestRateService interface.   @WebS...

CXF Example –Web Service Client Using Spring

Continuing from my previous post on (CXF Example –Web Service Using Spring and Maven) , let's create a client application to consume the web service. Steps Generate POJOs from WSDL to access the Web Service using the tool wsdl2java as below. You can access the WSDL used in this example from here.   wsdl2java rateServiceWSDL.xml   WSDL2Java is a command line tool that generates Java classes from an existing WSDL document. Generated classes represent client stubs, server skeletons and data types that will helps you to write client side and server Java programs for Web services defined in the WSDL document.     Create a client-beans.xml as below: < beans xmlns = "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"      xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jaxws = "http://cxf.apache.org/jaxws"      xsi:schemaLocation = " http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springfram...
