Oracle Autonomous Database Adds 'Self-Driving' Features; Lets Non-Experts Use ML

This fall, Oracle continues to roll out features and preview updates for its'self-driving' Oracle Autonomous Database. The technologies debuted at last month's Oracle OpenWorld. Enhancements to Oracle Autonomous Database include smart indexing, easier rollbacks, better performance and ways to make machine learning accessible to non-expert users. Oracle Autonomous Database uses a machine learning to make data center operations self-driving, self-repairing, and self-securing, Jenny Tsai-Smith, VP of Oracle Database Product Management, told IDN. She makes a sharp distinction between automation and autonomous.
