    Session 1

    Topic: Polymorphic Table Function Deep Dive

    Speaker: Darryl Hurley, ImpleStrat Solutions

    Abstract

    Introduced in Oracle 18, Polymorphic Table Functions (PTFs) are the next step in the evolution of table functions. They provide detailed PL/SQL access to the inner workings of SQL query functionality (parse, open, fetch, and close) to create flexible data access and control. This session begins at the surface of PTFs but quickly delves into the details to give attendees everything they need to create effective PTFs.

     

    Session 2

    Topic: Oracle OpenWorld 2019 Summary

    Speaker: Liron Amitzi, Independent Consultant (gotoDBA.com)

    Keynote Sessions

    Coding Therapy for Database Developers

    We've seen a major shift in the landscape when it comes to how databases are selected for use with new application development. In short, UI developers (many of them writing in JavaScript) are picking the database that is most expedient for them, without (from our backend view) much regard for data consistency and integrity. It’s easy to be disdainful of such choices. It’s a lot harder to figure out how to effectively communicate a message of the importance of database to application development. In this session, Steven offers some “therapy” to database developers to help them communicate and work with UI developers more effectively, as well more, ahem, standard therapy (dream therapy, shock therapy, game therapy, couples therapy) that will improve the way you write your code.
