👉The next one I attended and I liked was Developing "applications of the future" with data and AI


She talked about discovering the latest innovations with Oracle's application development platform and how to unlock your business's full potential with AI also how to accelerate the development of AI-powered applications using Oracle Code Assist, build and deploy AI applications at scale on a managed Kubernetes platform, and easily add intelligence to any application with user-friendly AI services.

and also talked about exploring innovations in AI, Java, the Kubernetes platform, low-code development, integration, Oracle Database, MySQL, and more. Plus, how developers are leveraging the power and cost-efficiency of Oracle’s platform to create exceptional solutions for real business challenges.

About Oracle Code Assist for AI-Powered Development The speaker introduced Oracle Code Assist, an AI-driven tool that enhances developer productivity by automating and accelerating coding tasks. Leveraging machine learning and generative AI models, Code Assist provides intelligent code suggestions, auto-completions, and real-time error detection. For instance, it can recommend optimized code patterns for integrating AI models into applications, reducing repetitive coding and enabling developers to build sophisticated AI-powered solutions faster. This tool is particularly valuable for creating applications that require complex logic, such as predictive analytics or natural language processing (NLP) features. For Scaling AI Applications with Managed Kubernetes To deploy AI applications at scale, the speaker highlighted Oracle’s managed Kubernetes platform, specifically the Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes.

The speaker emphasized Oracle Cloud AI Services, which enable developers to embed intelligence into any application without requiring deep expertise in machine learning. These services provide pre-built APIs for capabilities like natural language processing NLP , image recognition, predictive analytics, and generative AI.  

also, She discussed recent advancements in Java SE and tools like Oracle Java Cloud Service and Low-Code Development Platforms like 😘Oracle APEX enables rapid application development with minimal coding, ideal for building enterprise-grade applications with intuitive user interfaces.


👉The next one I attended and liked was What's Next with Oracle Database 23ai: AI, Multicloud


In this session, the speaker discussed how Oracle Database 23ai is redefining data management by integrating advanced AI features, Autonomous Database capabilities, and multicloud support. Attendees learned about the key innovations introduced in Oracle 23ai, including AI Vector Search, in-database machine learning, and enhanced JSON relational duality for modern application development.

The session emphasized Oracle’s ongoing commitment to a converged database strategy, offering a single, unified database engine that supports relational, spatial, graph, JSON, XML, and blockchain data models—all within the same core engine. Additionally, the speaker explained how the upgrade to Oracle 23ai is now simpler and more efficient than ever before, thanks to improvements in Oracle Multitenant architecture, which allows for pluggable database (PDB) upgrades with minimal downtime and increased manageability.Multicloud refers to the strategy of using multiple cloud providers  AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and OCI simultaneously, combining their services to meet business needs. Oracle 23ai,the latest AI-enhanced database and cloud platform supports multicloud deployments by Cross-Cloud Interoperability .you can Run Oracle Database 23ai on AWS, Azure, or OCI with seamless integration.  

👉The next one I attended and I liked was Creating an AI Chatbot Engine with Oracle Database 23ai and OCI Generative Al


This workshop focused on how to build a Retrieval Augmented Generation RAG chatbot that leverages advanced AI technologies such as vector similarity search and Large Language Models (LLMs). The RAG architecture combines the power of semantic retrieval with generative AI to provide accurate and context-aware responses, even when the input data is unstructured or highly domain-specific.

the speaker demonstrated how unstructured text data like documents, manuals, or support tickets can be converted into dense vector embeddings using embedding models ( OpenAI, Cohere, or in-database embeddings in Oracle 23ai). These vectors are stored in a vector database or vector store, where similarity search algorithms can efficiently retrieve the most relevant pieces of information. Once relevant documents are retrieved, the LLM generates a natural-language response based on both the user's query and the retrieved context—a method that drastically improves answer accuracy and relevance, especially for enterprise-specific use cases.

Additionally, the speaker explained a holistic pipeline for processing, storing, and querying text data using Text pre-processing and chunking and Vectorization with embedding models.


I hope this article has provided you with valuable insights and practical information. 

Thank you for reading.

Vector Tiles in Oracle Spatial 23

-
Image
Vector tiles are an efficient way to deliver and render map data in web applications. Unlike raster tiles, which are pre-rendered images, vector tiles contain raw geometries and attributes, allowing for dynamic styling and interaction on the client side. 🕮  What Are Vector Tiles? Imagine a large map divided into small, manageable square sections called "tiles."  There are two primary types of tiles: Raster Tiles : Static images representing the map. Zooming in can cause pixelation, and any style changes require generating new images. Vector Tiles : Contain raw geometric data and attributes. They allow for smooth scaling without loss of quality and enable dynamic styling, such as changing colors or labels, directly in the browser. Oracle Spatial 23c introduces support for generating and serving vector tiles directly from spatial data stored in the database. Step 1: Prepare Your Spatial Data Ensure your spatial data is stored in a table with an SDO_GEOMETRY column. CREATE T...

⍰    What is SYS.ODCI...? Oracle database provides predefined collection types, such as  SYS.ODCINUMBERLIST and SYS.ODCIVARCHAR2LIST , which simplifies operations involving lists of numbers or strings.  SYS.ODCI  designed for bulk operations   and they  are nested table types that store lists of numbers and strings,  respectively.  ⍰    Can we use  SYS.ODCI  instead of  TABLE OF  Types ? In some cases, you can use SYS.ODCI types like instead of defining your own nested table types. For example, if you need a collection of numbers or strings, you can use these system types instead of defining something like this yourself because User-defined types require explicit definitions. In contrast, SYS.ODCINUMBERLIST and similar predefined types are readily available and can be used both in PL/SQL and SQL contexts without additional definitions. But In general,  For more complex structures (like objects with multiple...
