Technology is getting more and more powerful every day and is changing our lives constantly personally and professionally, and in this Bachelor Thesis we focused on how to make this technology to work for us by automatizing tasks that are currently done by humans. The technology used to execute tasks is called Robotic Process Automation (RPA). And the field where we want to apply such automating technology is on databases, more specifically, in Oracle Databases. The main objective is to have automated processes helping humans with some tasks. First, we studied Database Management Systems and common administration tasks. We needed to know how humans work on those tasks, to automatize them afterwards. It was also needed to study the RPA software called UiPath, which is the one used for automating those Oracle Database administration processes. It was needed to understand well its features and the possibilities that it could give us. Once we knew the use cases to be automatized, and how they are currently solved by DBAs, we designed the automation and the development was done. When those automatized processes were working properly, we tested the performance of the RPA and compared it with a human. And the results were more than satisfactory. The RPA was two to three times faster than the human and it was not making any mistakes. Also, anyone could run the RPA, even someone without a technical knowledge on Oracle Databases. The goal of this work was to determine when to use and how helpful could a RPA be, and we arrived to the following conclusions: - Humans are better with intuition and creativity and sometimes faster with short processes. - RPA is much faster with rule-based processes and much more efficient with large tasks. And they do not make mistakes in what they have been programmed for. This means that people can save a lot of time with the automation of processes.
