Course Outline

1. Overview and New Features in Oracle Database 23ai

  • Release summary, market positioning, and the developer-focused roadmap.
  • General review of AI Vector Search, JSON/relational duality, and asynchronous drivers.
  • How 23ai transforms standard developer workflows and application structures.

2. Practical Setup: Environment and Tools (Lab)

  • Installation and usage of Oracle Database 23ai Free for laboratory sessions.
  • Configuration of JDK, IDE, and client drivers (JDBC, R2DBC where relevant).
  • Initial connection, basic queries, and creation of a sample project structure.

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

  • Integrating the enhanced JSON data type and JSON collections into application code.
  • Duality strategies: determining when to prioritize relational over JSON approaches.
  • Practical examples: storing, retrieving, and modifying JSON objects from Java/Quarkus applications.

4. AI Vector Search and Developer Applications (Lab)

  • Basics of AI Vector Search, vector data types, and vector indexing.
  • Creating a basic semantic search project: embedding creation, storage, and similarity retrieval.
  • Connecting Vector Search with application code and libraries (conceptual discussion of 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 methods (reactive streams, Java virtual threads) and their impact on the server.
  • Practical exercise: implementing pipelined calls and assessing throughput enhancements.

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

  • New SQL/PLSQL language capabilities pertinent to developers (e.g., schema annotations, direct joins in updates, new Boolean type).
  • Introduction to the SQL Firewall and its role in strengthening runtime SQL security.
  • Practical task: updating a small procedure with new language features and verifying SQL Firewall behavior in a controlled lab setting.

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

  • Unit testing database logic, creating representative test data, and evaluating behavior with new features.
  • Preparing and deploying developer applications utilizing 23ai features to test environments.
  • Readiness checklist: performance optimization, compatibility checks, and steps toward production.
