Why this presentation?
• Oracle BI has matured and is quite wide-spread
• As a result it’s often done worse than ever…
• Problem being: core of a whole range of products
• Hence: Back to basics presentation series
• Not understanding and comprehending query mechanisms is a
cardinal sin for any developer
• And no, “cloud” doesn’t eliminate the need for “comprehension”
www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur #obihackers | freenode
Why this presentation?
• Alternative title “A normal day on the OTN forums”
www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur #obihackers | freenode
Why this presentation?
• Going more into details from my “Worst practices” presentation
www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur #obihackers | freenode
Why this presentation?
• Alleviate your struggle
• How can I get from front-end problems to the actual root cause?
• Why is my report returning the data it does?
• Why do I get old data back? (Spoiler alert: Cache!)
• Where can I find all bits and pieces of information for my investigation?
• Why doesn’t my request hit the source I thought it would?
• Why does it bypass our aggregate tables?
• If I change the RPD – what will be the impact?
www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur #obihackers | freenode
Why this presentation?
Simply put:
Without a solid understanding of how and why
queries function inside the Oracle BI core you will have
a very hard time of analyzing any issue pertaining to
data, aggregations, modelling, performance etc. !

But Christian it’s all about cloud, data visualization and mashups now!
Surely I don’t need to bother with all this query stuff?

But Christian it’s all about data visualization and mashups now! Surely I
don’t need to bother with all this?
So what about VA / DV / DVD / BICS?
www.dimensionality.ch @Nephentur #obihackers | freenode
Yes DV/ASCS/BICS are way(s) forward, but…
Really? Think about it:
• They all still access Subject Areas (indirectly)
• Performance problems won’t just automagically disappear
– You’ll probably run into even more thanks to mashups and file uploads
• Just because there are nice graphs doesn’t mean there isn’t still a very clever system in the background!
• But yes, there’s a new toy and new possibilities
• Watch out for the next dissection talk!
