Course Outline

1. Overview and New Features in Oracle Database 23ai

  • Release summary, market positioning, and the developer-focused roadmap.
  • Comprehensive look at AI Vector Search, JSON/relational duality, and async drivers.
  • Examining how 23ai transforms standard developer workflows and application designs.

2. Practical Setup: Environment and Tools (Lab)

  • Deployment and usage of Oracle Database 23ai Free for laboratory work.
  • Configuring the JDK, IDE, and client drivers (JDBC, R2DBC where relevant).
  • Establishing initial connections, executing basic queries, and scaffolding a sample project.

3. JSON Relational Duality and Data Types (Lab)

  • Incorporating the enhanced JSON data type and JSON collections into application logic.
  • Exploring duality patterns: deciding between relational and JSON approaches.
  • Demonstrations: storing, retrieving, and modifying JSON objects via Java/Quarkus applications.

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

  • Fundamentals of AI Vector Search, vector data types, and vector indexing.
  • Creating a semantic search prototype: generating embeddings, storing data, and running similarity queries.
  • Connecting Vector Search to application code and libraries (conceptual discussions of LangChain/LlamaIndex integration).

5. Async Programming, Pipelining, and Performance Strategies

  • Analyzing driver-level pipelining and asynchronous request patterns for JDBC, R2DBC, and other interfaces.
  • Client-side methodologies (reactive streams, Java virtual threads) and their server-side implications.
  • Practical exercise: executing pipelined calls to benchmark throughput gains.

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

  • New SQL/PLSQL language capabilities for developers (e.g., schema annotations, direct joins in updates, new Boolean type).
  • Understanding SQL Firewall and its role in enhancing runtime security for executed SQL.
  • Practical task: adapting a small procedure to utilize new features and validating SQL Firewall behavior in a controlled lab.

7. Testing, Debugging, and Deployment Standards (Lab)

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