Course Outline

1. Introduction to Oracle Database 23ai Innovations

  • Overview of the release, strategic positioning, and the developer-centric roadmap.
  • A high-level exploration of AI Vector Search, JSON/relational duality, and asynchronous drivers.
  • Examining how 23ai reshapes standard developer workflows and application design patterns.

2. Practical Setup: Environment and Tools (Lab)

  • Installation and configuration of Oracle Database 23ai Free for laboratory exercises.
  • Setting up the JDK, IDE, and client drivers (including JDBC and R2DBC where relevant).
  • Establishing initial connections, executing basic queries, and scaffolding a sample project.

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

  • Implementing the enhanced JSON data type and JSON collections within application logic.
  • Evaluating duality patterns to decide between relational and JSON approaches.
  • Practical examples: managing, querying, and updating JSON objects from Java/Quarkus applications.

4. AI Vector Search and Real-World Applications (Lab)

  • Understanding AI Vector Search, vector data types, and the creation of vector indexes.
  • Constructing a semantic search prototype: covering embedding generation, storage, and similarity queries.
  • Conceptual integration of Vector Search with application code and libraries (e.g., LangChain/LlamaIndex).

5. Asynchronous Programming, Pipelining, and Performance Optimization

  • Analyzing driver-level pipelining and asynchronous request patterns for JDBC, R2DBC, and other drivers.
  • Client-side strategies (such as reactive streams and Java virtual threads) and their impact on server performance.
  • Lab exercise: implementing pipelined calls to quantify throughput enhancements.

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

  • Developer-relevant SQL/PLSQL features (including schema annotations, direct joins in updates, and the new Boolean type).
  • Understanding SQL Firewall and its role in strengthening the runtime security of executed SQL.
  • Practical task: updating a procedure to utilize new language features and testing SQL Firewall behavior in a controlled environment.

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

  • Unit testing database logic, generating realistic test data, and assessing performance with new features.
  • Packaging and deploying 23ai-enabled developer applications to test environments.
  • Final checklist: performance tuning, compatibility assessments, and pathways to production readiness.
