How Does Oracle's Core RDBMS work?

Image
Attend the free webinar by the Oracle ACE Director Martin Widlake and learn how Oracle works under the hood.
About the Webinar: Despite the complexity and capability of the Oracle database, at it's heart there are a relatively small number of key activities and processes. If you understand them, you will get a lot more out of the database and advanced topics make a lot more sense. In this presentation I explain the key things the database does and how they work together. If you know what a SELECT statement is, you will understand this talk. And by the end of it, you will know some things that even many experienced developers and DBAs don't know.
In this webinar, you will learn: The two ways Oracle reads data from disc and how it writes it back.That REDO is actually the most important part of the database. What happens when you COMMIT.Why Oracle data blocks are key to the buffer cache.What a "Consistent Get" really is.Why indexes are so powerful and what "balanced B…

Version Control for Oracle Database

Today, we’re happy to announce the general availability of Gitora 3. Gitora 2 enabled developers to manage database objects that support the CREATE OR REPLACE command, namely PACKAGES, PROCEDURES, FUNCTIONS, TRIGGERS, VIEWS, SYNONYMS and TYPES in a Git repository. (In Gitora terminology, we call these “Soft Objects”). Gitora 3 goes a step further and enables developers to manage every database object in an Oracle Database with Git even if the object does not support the CREATE OR REPLACE command. (In Gitora terminology, we call these “Hard Objects”.) Specifically, Gitora 3 allows developers and DBA's  to manage TABLES, INDEXES, SEQUENCES, CONSTRAINTS, TABLESPACES, MATERIALIZED VIEWS and every other schema or non-schema objects with Git.
Learn more about how Gitora 3 helps developers, DBA's, DevOps people and managers to improve their database development workflow at this link.

Wrapping PL/SQL Source Code and a Strange Bug (PLS-00753)

Wrapping process makes PL/SQL source code unreadable. Developers can wrap package specifications, package bodies, functions, procedures, type specifications and type bodies. Unfortunately triggers cannot be wrapped. To wrap the trigger code you need to place your source code to a package or procedure and call it from the trigger.

There are two ways to wrap PL/SQL source code.

1. Wrapping PL/SQL source code with wrap utility


Wrap utility takes two parameters. First one (iname) is the PL/SQL source code file and the second one (oname) is the output file that will hold the wrapped code.

wrap iname=example_input_file.sql oname=example_output_file.plb
This is an easy way to wrap source code because you do not need to handle DDLs bigger than 32767 bytes. But this way, you need to save DDLs into different files and execute the wrap command frmo the command prompt for each file.

2. Wrapping PL/SQL source code with DBMSL_DDL package


The DBMS_DDL package contains an overloaded wrap API to wrap PL…
