On that note, what's your take on $ORCL's "autonomous database" that they've been marketing over the last couple of years? I saw the Ellison presentation on it when it was first announced and it seems plausible you could tune databases on-the-fly and maybe optimize indices "automatically", given your comment I was curious what you think about this specific offering.

- philjohn 8y agoIs it really anything new? Informix was self tuning in the 80s. I suppose you could automatically identify slow queries and identify what indexes would be useful, sort of how a JIT identifies hotspots in code and optimises them. Personally it sounds like a play to keep lucrative enterprise customers on side by allowing them to cut the DBA role that is a necessity for a decent sized Oracle install.
