Oracle is making its cloud databases easier to use

Oracle says the latest release of its cloud-based Autonomous Data Warehouse will help transform complex data transformation activities into point-and-click tasks. The Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is a software-as-a-service cloud data warehouse that Oracle says is designed to reduce the complexities of developing data driven applications by automating critical provisioning and configuration tasks. With this updated release, the company hopes to make the data warehouse service easier to operate for both professionals and non-IT users. As per reports, the most interesting feature of the new release is AutoML, which will automate several time intensive tasks and instead help users create machine learning (ML) models using a no-code interface. Business users will be drag-and-drop data sets that AutoML will then run through different ML algorithms in order to produce meaningful information that can be easily interpreted and digested by business users.
