Course Outline

1. Introduction and What's New in Oracle Database 23ai

  • Overview of the release, its market positioning, and the developer-centric roadmap.
  • A high-level exploration of AI Vector Search, JSON/relational duality, and asynchronous drivers.
  • An analysis of how 23ai transforms standard developer workflows and application patterns.

2. Practical Setup: Environment and Tools (Lab)

  • Installation and usage of Oracle Database 23ai Free for laboratory sessions.
  • Configuration of JDK, IDEs, and client drivers (such as JDBC and R2DBC where applicable).
  • Establishing initial connections, executing simple queries, and scaffolding a sample project.

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

  • Incorporating the improved JSON data type and JSON collections into application code.
  • Understanding duality patterns: determining when to utilize relational versus JSON approaches.
  • Practical examples: storing, querying, and updating JSON objects from Java/Quarkus applications.

4. AI Vector Search and Developer Use Cases (Lab)

  • An introduction to AI Vector Search, vector data types, and vector indexes.
  • Constructing a semantic search example: covering embedding generation, storage, and similarity queries.
  • Integrating Vector Search with application code and libraries (with conceptual discussion of LangChain/LlamaIndex).

5. Asynchronous Programming, Pipelining, and Performance Patterns

  • Comprehending driver-level pipelining and asynchronous request patterns for JDBC, R2DBC, and other drivers.
  • Exploring client-side patterns (such as reactive streams and Java virtual threads) and their impact on the server.
  • Practical lab: Implementing pipelined calls and measuring improvements in throughput.

6. SQL, PL/SQL Enhancements, and Security Controls

  • Exploring new SQL/PL/SQL language features relevant to developers (e.g., schema annotations, direct joins in updates, and the new Boolean type).
  • An overview of SQL Firewall and its role in enhancing the runtime security of executed SQL.
  • Hands-on activity: Migrating a small procedure to utilize new language features and testing SQL Firewall behavior in a controlled lab environment.

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

  • Unit testing database logic, generating representative test data, and measuring performance with new features.
  • Packaging and deploying developer applications that utilize 23ai features to test environments.
  • Reviewing checklists: performance tuning, compatibility considerations, and next steps for production readiness.
