Agilex’ Dominic Delmolino Co-Authors Expert PL/SQL Practices: for Oracle Developers and DBAs

Aug. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Agilex, a leading provider of mission and technology solutions to the healthcare, national security and public sectors, today announced that Agilex’ Dominic Delmolino served as a co-author of the recently published Expert PL/SQL Practices: for Oracle Developers and DBAs (Apress).  This 512 page anthology brings together the collective wisdom of some of the best and brightest in the PL/SQL programming field.  Delmolino contributed the chapter focused on PL/SQL and Parallel Processing.  

“As more and more organizations start to uncover the potential of their ever-increasing data, they need guidance on ways to fully exploit that data wherever it resides,” said Delmolino.  “Working with some of the finest minds in the field, I’m excited to contribute pragmatic, real-world thinking on applying innovative techniques to the analysis of data in Oracle databases.  Specifically, how to go beyond straightforward SQL and efficiently use programmatic constructs in Oracle’s PL/SQL to get the most out of ever-larger Oracle databases.”

Expert PL/SQL Practices: for Oracle Developers and DBAs is destined to find a home in the reference library of any Oracle programmer.  Each chapter provides deep-dive advice from world-class experts into a specific problem, technology or feature set that users will face in PL/SQL programming.  Instead of focusing simply on the basics, this book provides programmers with the actionable insight and guidance needed to fully exploit the technology’s capabilities.

In his chapter, Delmolino addresses how new algorithms for parallel processing of large data sets can be implemented directly in Oracle databases using PL/SQL.  This chapter provides the reader with a process to take concepts like MapReduce algorithms and code them in-place against structured data in Oracle while simultaneously giving guidance on programming in a parallel fashion.

Delmolino is Vice President for Data Engineering and Architecture at Agilex, where he helps federal agencies improve the performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness of their mission-critical systems.  Among other accomplishments, Delmolino has led some of the largest Oracle implementations in the federal sector.  He is also a member of the prestigious OakTable Network, an invitation-only group of the world’s foremost Oracle Database researchers and scientists.  He writes frequently on his www.OracleMusings.com blog.  

“Dom has been a leader in helping federal organizations address both the opportunities and challenges of big data,” said Agilex CTO Tim Hoechst.  “His deep understanding of data and database architecture allows him to envision and deliver very elegant solutions to complex challenges.  The insight that he and the other contributors share in Expert PL/SQL Practices: for Oracle Developers and DBAs makes it a timely and valuable addition to the field.”
