Course Outline

1. Overview and Novelties in Oracle Database 23ai

  • Release summary, strategic positioning, and the developer-oriented roadmap.
  • Comprehensive tour of AI Vector Search, JSON/relational duality, and asynchronous drivers.
  • Impact of 23ai on standard developer workflows and application architectures.

2. Practical Setup: Environment and Tools (Lab)

  • Installation and utilization of Oracle Database 23ai Free for laboratory exercises.
  • Configuration of JDK, IDE, and client drivers (JDBC, R2DBC where relevant).
  • Initial connection, basic querying, and scaffolding of a sample project.

3. JSON Relational Duality and Emerging Data Types (Lab)

  • Implementation of the enhanced JSON data type and JSON collections within application code.
  • Duality patterns: Determining when to prefer relational versus JSON approaches.
  • Practical examples: Storing, querying, and modifying JSON objects from Java/Quarkus applications.

4. AI Vector Search and Developer Applications (Lab)

  • Foundations of AI Vector Search, including vector data types and indexing.
  • Constructing a semantic search prototype: embedding creation, storage, and similarity retrieval.
  • Integrating Vector Search with application code and libraries (conceptual discussions on LangChain/LlamaIndex examples).

5. Asynchronous Programming, Pipelining, and Performance Strategies

  • Comprehending driver-level pipelining and asynchronous request patterns for JDBC, R2DBC, and other drivers.
  • Client-side patterns (reactive streams, Java virtual threads) and their impact on server performance.
  • Practical lab: Implementing pipelined calls and evaluating throughput enhancements.

6. SQL, PL/SQL Improvements, and Security Mechanisms

  • New SQL/PLSQL language features beneficial to developers (e.g., schema annotations, direct joins in updates, new Boolean type).
  • Insights into SQL Firewall and its role in strengthening the runtime security of executed SQL.
  • Practical task: Refactoring a small procedure to utilize new language features and verifying SQL Firewall behavior in a controlled lab.

7. Testing, Debugging, and Deployment Best Practices (Lab)

  • Unit testing database logic, creating representative test data, and assessing performance with new features.
  • Packaging and deploying developer applications utilizing 23ai features to test environments.
  • Review checklist: Performance tuning, compatibility checks, and roadmap for production readiness.
