Oracle Corp. has been on something of a roll in 2021. The database giant received a boost from Gartner Inc. just before the start of the new year in a report that ranked the firm high among database management leaders for its ability to leverage on-premises strength in hybrid cloud deployment.
In March, the company made headlines with a well-received string of updates to its Autonomous Data Warehouse offering. The latest releases focused on simpler loads and transforms, autonomous machine learning models and facilitating citizen data science.
“If I’m an analyst, I want data and it’s still hard for me to go and get data from various data sources, transform them, clean them up and get them to a place where I can start querying,” said Andy Mendelsohn (pictured), executive vice president of database server technologies at Oracle. “What we’ve done in the new release is give data scientists and developers a true self-service experience, where they can do their job completely without bringing in any engineers from their IT organization. That’s what this new version is all about.”
