About the Contest 

The contest is carried out in Oracle Analytics Cloud. The data for this challenge is stored in an Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW) database. Credentials for accessing both services will be provided to you or your team before the start of the challenge. Please join the contest here!

Guidelines and Rules

  • The analysis and data story must be built using the ODTUG Oracle Analytics Cloud instance.
  • Using OML in the provisioned ADW database is also encouraged.
