Exporting Oracle Table to Excel Worksheet
Total: 10 Average: 3.3
In this article, I will explain how we can divide and export data of an Oracle database table into multiple worksheets of an Excel file with help of the SQL Server integration service package.
Often, DBAs asked to generate Ad-Hoc reports from a database. Recently I have been asked to generate a report from the database. They want me to provide a report in multiple worksheets of an Excel file. There are different ways to do it but the query was resource-intensive. Hence I want to extract data from the database with one execution and decided to use the SQL Server integration services package. SQL Server data tools have one component called Conditional Split Transformation which can be used to achieve the task. Read More

Oracle Database Security: Database Auditing
Total: 13 Average: 3.7
In this article, I will continue with Oracle Database Security and I will present some important facts about standard database auditing, audit triggers, and audit policies in Oracle. Database auditing has two components: monitoring and persistent registration of established database activity sets and events.

Database Security in Oracle
Total: 13 Average: 3.4
There is no secret that information makes the world go around currently. If an enterprise takes care of its intellectual property and each employee can easily get the necessary information, the enterprise can hope for the growth. If there is chaos in data, the enterprise will fail despite the team spirit.
In this article, we are going to explore the database security basics and examples of information protection in Oracle. Actually, the theoretical basics for protecting information in the database, which we are going to consider in this article, will be also useful to people working with other databases.

Total: 18 Average: 4.1
Data encryption is very important because it’s a way to protect the current and the archived data in order to ensure its confidentiality. This prevents an unauthorized access and usage. In this article, I will briefly present some important aspects of data encryption and decryption.
Example of Improving Query Performance with Indexes
Total: 10 Average: 3.4
In this article, we’ll look at how an index can improve the query performance.
Introduction
Indexes in Oracle and other databases are objects that store references to data in other tables. They are used to improve the query performance, most often the SELECT statement.
They aren’t a “silver bullet” – they don’t always solve performance problems with SELECT statements. However, they can certainly help.
Let’s consider this on a particular example.

5 Ways to Update Data with a Subquery in Oracle SQL
Total: 18 Average: 3.9
A subquery is a powerful way to find the data you want to use for another query. They are often used in SELECT and UPDATE statements to make these queries more efficient and easier to maintain.
There are several different ways to use subqueries in UPDATE statements. Let’s take a look at each of them.
Comparison of Tree Graphs
Total: 5 Average: 3.4
When developing an information system that also includes various processing of design and technological documentation, I faced the following problem.
We have a certain product structure. During the day, different parts of this product are changed and by the evening, it is already unclear what has been changed. Sometimes, products can consist of more than 10 000 elements. The elements are not unique, and the reality is that the structure can be often modified, although the product is almost ready. The failure to understand the scope of changes complicates planning.
The product structure can be represented as a tree graph in PL/SQL. Since I could not find a suitable way to compare two graphs, I decided to create my own method.
