Course Outline

1. Introduction and Overview of Oracle Database 23ai Innovations

  • Release summary, market positioning, and the developer-focused roadmap.
  • A high-level exploration of AI Vector Search, JSON/relational duality, and asynchronous drivers.
  • How 23ai transforms standard developer workflows and application architectures.

2. Hands-On Setup: Environment and Tools (Lab)

  • Installation and utilization of Oracle Database 23ai Free for laboratory exercises.
  • Configuration of JDK, IDEs, and client drivers (including JDBC and R2DBC where relevant).
  • Establishing initial connections, executing basic queries, and creating a sample project structure.

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

  • Applying the enhanced JSON data type and JSON collections within application code.
  • Duality patterns: determining when to adopt relational versus JSON approaches.
  • Case studies: storing, querying, and updating JSON objects from Java/Quarkus applications.

4. AI Vector Search and Developer Applications (Lab)

  • Introduction to AI Vector Search, vector data types, and vector indexing.
  • Developing a basic semantic search example: generating embeddings, storing data, and running similarity queries.
  • Integrating Vector Search with application code and libraries (conceptual discussion of LangChain/LlamaIndex examples).

5. Asynchronous Programming, Pipelining, and Performance Strategies

  • Understanding driver-level pipelining and asynchronous request patterns for JDBC, R2DBC, and other drivers.
  • Client-side patterns (such as reactive streams and Java virtual threads) and their server-side implications.
  • Practical lab: implementing pipelined calls and evaluating throughput enhancements.

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

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

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

  • Unit testing database logic, generating representative test data, and assessing behavior with new features.
  • Packaging and deploying developer applications leveraging 23ai features to test environments.
  • Checklist: performance tuning, compatibility considerations, and subsequent steps for production readiness.
