Kirti, The article is interesting and raises a lot of doubt and concern. Normally a companies database has a lot of queries against it that are the same and can be optimized at the source. The application is created and used by the employees with different variables placed in the blanks on the form. Repetitive look up of information. What is there to learn about different relationships of data if the applications we run at the companies provide answers to the same questions all day every day? If this technology was to be applied to a web site database that has many varied questions about many subjects, how large would the SGA,PGA, and other areas of the database have to be to contain the queries that it would optimize? And at what speed would this optimization occur? As an example, Let's use the Ford Motor Company web site, of the thousand of hits it receives how many are requesting similar information about the same model vehicle, same door panel, same trim design? With all of the varied information requested from the database it would take nothing short of "artificial intelligence" to know what you were looking for before you were looking for it. The article talked about autonomous databases, Hasn't uncle Larry been taunting that with 9i? Just a few thoughts, Ron ROR mª¿ªm
