WHITEPAPERS, ARTICLES, AND BLOGS The Oracle Analytics Cloud - Update Corner and Features Guide The Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) continues to evolve with new feature releases being added to the services offering. ERPA's Peter N. Koutroubis, senior VP of operations, and Jai Gangwani, BI solution architect, cover all of the new OAC features in depth in this post and have a corresponding features guide for a condensed view of each one. Analytic Property Graph Follow along and try this technical deep dive in this blog post by Arthur Dayton, senior consultant with Vlamis Software Solutions, Inc., showing you how to create an analytic property graph on an Oracle DB. Oracle Database 12c now includes property graphs, a great feature to analyze relationships in your data, such as finding the most influential people in a social network, or discovering patterns of fraud in financial transactions. Graph analysis can do things that the relational model can't do—or can't do without very complicated queries and expensive table joins. HOW TO HOST A SUCCESSFUL MEETUP What is a Meetup?
