Course Outline
1. Introduction and New Features in Oracle Database 23ai
- Overview of the release, its market positioning, and the developer-centric roadmap.
- High-level examination of AI Vector Search, JSON/relational duality, and asynchronous drivers.
- Impact of 23ai on standard developer workflows and application patterns.
2. Hands-On Practice: Environment and Tools (Lab)
- Installation and utilization of Oracle Database 23ai Free for laboratory exercises.
- Configuration of JDK, IDE, and client drivers (JDBC, R2DBC where applicable).
- Establishing initial connections, executing simple queries, and scaffolding a sample project.
3. JSON Relational Duality and New Data Types (Lab)
- Utilizing the enhanced JSON data type and JSON collections within application code.
- Duality patterns: determining when to employ relational versus JSON approaches.
- Practical examples: 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.
- Development of a basic semantic search example: generating embeddings, storing them, and executing similarity queries.
- Integration of Vector Search with application code and libraries (conceptual discussion of LangChain/LlamaIndex examples).
5. Asynchronous Programming, Pipelining, and Performance Patterns
- Comprehension of driver-level pipelining and asynchronous request patterns for JDBC, R2DBC, and other drivers.
- Client-side strategies (reactive streams, Java virtual threads) and their impact on the server.
- Practical lab: implementing pipelined calls and measuring resulting throughput improvements.
6. SQL, PL/SQL Enhancements, and Security Controls
- New SQL/PLSQL language features relevant to developers (e.g., schema annotations, direct joins in updates, and the new Boolean type).
- Overview of SQL Firewall and its role in enhancing runtime security for executed SQL.
- Hands-on exercise: migrating a small procedure to utilize new language features and testing SQL Firewall behavior in a controlled lab environment.
7. Best Practices for Testing, Debugging, and Deployment (Lab)
- Unit testing database logic, generating representative test data, and assessing behavior with new features.
- Packaging and deploying developer applications that leverage 23ai features to test environments.
- Checklist covering performance tuning, compatibility considerations, and next steps for production readiness.
