Advanced Oracle PL/SQL Developer's Guide (Second Edition)

Chapter 2. Oracle 12c SQL and PL/SQL New Features

Oracle released Oracle Database 12c in July 2013. From a technology standpoint, it was an important product release as the focus was consolidation of databases on public and private cloud infrastructures. Oracle Database 12c introduces the new Multitenant architecture that allows multiple databases to run as a tenant within a single database. The new design assures tenant isolation and security, and enhances manageability of consolidated databases, Oracle Database 12c provides more than 500 new features including multitenant architecture and many others related to security, high availability, and performance. The chapter covers the key features introduced in the latest product release.

Oracle Database 12c has made considerable improvements to the SQL and PL/SQL languages. The language enhancements in Oracle Database 12c focus on support for ANSI SQL standards, effortless code writing and migration from non-Oracle to Oracle compliant...

Database consolidation and the new Multitenant architecture

Consolidation is the key enabler for moving databases to on-cloud models. An efficient consolidation strategy can provide elastic sharing of resources and maximize resource utilization in a consolidated stack. A database hosted on a public or private cloud must guarantee tenant isolation and security. In addition to the elementary requirements of cloud deployments, database provisioning on the cloud should be quick and easy.

Oracle Database 12c introduces a multitenant architecture that meets the challenges of cloud deployments. The new tenant-based architecture allows one or more application databases (known as pluggable databases) to run within a single database (known as the container database). Each pluggable database is completely shielded from all other pluggable databases running within the same container database. The architecture provides a unique mechanism to segregate the system and application metadata at the container...

Oracle 12c SQL and PL/SQL new features

SQL is the most widely used data access language while PL/SQL is a popular language that can integrate seamlessly with SQL commands. The biggest benefit of running PL/SQL is that the code processing happens natively within the Oracle Database. In the past, there have been debates and discussions on server side programming while the client invokes the PL/SQL routines to perform a task. The server side programming approach has many benefits. It reduces the network round trips between the client and the database. It reduces the code size and eases the code portability because PL/SQL can run on all platforms, wherever Oracle Database is supported.

Oracle Database 12c introduces many language features and enhancements that focus on SQL to PL/SQL integration, code migration, and ANSI compliance. This section discusses the SQL and PL/SQL new features in Oracle Database 12c.

IDENTITY columns

Oracle Database 12c introduces identity columns in SQL in compliance...

The Oracle Database 12c (12.1.0.2) In-Memory option

The Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 introduces the In-Memory option that has the capability to speed up real-time analytics by an order of magnitude. The faster analytics complements and enables real-time decision making. Long-running reports and ad-hoc analytical queries are expected to benefit the most. The feature can be implemented without any application changes and works transparently with no manual hindrance, thus resulting in improved productivity.

The challenge

Enterprise applications have been reported to have mixed workloads—that is, OLTP workloads and analytics processing. In the past, there have been a couple of approaches to segregating the workloads. Mixed workload production databases can run on the same system, but running both of them simultaneously would degrade the OLTP performance. Running workloads on separate server systems impacts the real-time decision making because data on the analytics server has to be refreshed...

Summary

This chapter familiarizes the readers with an overview of Oracle Database 12c. This chapter provides valuable insight to database developers in the application development space. Also, the chapter covers the top rated features of Oracle Database 12c, that is Multitenant and Database In-Memory. This chapter will help you understand the basic building blocks of a multitenant container database.

In the next chapter, we will cover the fundamentals of PL/SQL code design through cursors.

I was one of the technical reviewers of this book and I enjoyed reading the chapters. It's not a book I would read from page 1 to the last word, but I really enjoyed reading it all. If you are in the process of becoming an Oracle Certified Professional in Advanced PL/SQL then this book will really help you in your preparation for the 1Z0-146 exam.If you are just looking to learn more about the newer versions of the database then this book can really help you in understanding the techniques thanks to the good and clear examples.So if you want a good study book for the OCP exam or if you want a book with good information, explanation and examples on PL/SQL techniques then this book is a good choice for you.
