Course Outline
1. Introduction and What's New in Oracle Database 23ai
- Release overview, positioning, and developer-centric roadmap.
- High-level tour of AI Vector Search, JSON/relational duality, and async drivers.
- How 23ai changes typical developer workflows and application patterns.
2. Getting Hands-on: Environment and Tools (Lab)
- Installing and using Oracle Database 23ai Free for labs.
- Setting up JDK, IDE, and client drivers (JDBC, R2DBC where applicable).
- First connection, simple queries, and sample project scaffold.
3. JSON Relational Duality and New Data Types (Lab)
- Using the improved JSON data type and JSON collections in application code.
- Duality patterns: when to use relational vs JSON approaches.
- Examples: storing, querying, and updating JSON objects from Java/Quarkus apps.
4. AI Vector Search and Developer Use Cases (Lab)
- Introduction to AI Vector Search, vector data types, and vector indexes.
- Building a small semantic-search example: embedding generation, storage, and similarity queries.
- Integrating Vector Search with application code and libraries (LangChain/LlamaIndex examples discussed conceptually).
5. Asynchronous Programming, Pipelining, and Performance Patterns
- Understanding driver-level pipelining and async request patterns for JDBC, R2DBC, and other drivers.
- Client-side patterns (reactive streams, Java virtual threads) and server impact.
- Practical lab: implement pipelined calls and measure 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, new Boolean type).
- Overview of SQL Firewall and how it improves runtime security of executed SQL.
- Hands-on: migrate a small procedure to use new language features and test SQL Firewall behavior in a controlled lab.
7. Testing, Debugging, and Deployment Best Practices (Lab)
- Unit testing database logic, generating representative test data, and measuring behavior with new features.
- Packaging and deploying developer apps that use 23ai features to test environments.
- Checklist: performance tuning, compatibility considerations, and next steps for production readiness.
