Video : Temporal Validity in Oracle Database 12c Onward

In today’s video we discuss how Temporal Validity can make querying of effective date ranges simpler in Oracle 12c and beyond.

The video is based on this article.

The syntax looks similar to Flashback Query and Flashback Version Query.

The star of today’s video is a knitted creation by the wife, Debra Lilley. I’m not entirely sure what it is. Maybe a sea squirt? I’m sure I’m going to get into trouble for not knowing, as I’m sure it’s a perfect representation… 🙂

Update. Debra just told me it’s a Coronavirus… 🙂

Video : Resource Manager : Runaway Query Management

In today’s video we give a quick demonstration of using Resource Manager to cancel a long running SQL statement.

This video is based on a series of articles from Oracle 8i to the present day. There is an example here.

Although there are aspects of it throughout most of the Resource Manager articles on the website.

The horror show was brought to you by Jeff Smith. Notice his proximity to assorted torture devices he probably describes as “tools” when questioned by the authorities.

Video : SQLCL and Liquibase : Deploying Oracle Application Express (APEX) Applications

In today’s video we’ll give a quick demonstration of deploying an APEX application using the SQLcl implementation of Liquibase.

I Know what you’re thinking. Didn’t I do this video two weeks ago? The answer is yes and no. This video is very similar to the Liquibase video I did two weeks ago, but that was using the Liquibase Pro client. This video uses the SQLcl implementation of Liquibase, and more specifically the runOracleScript tag to achieve the same thing.

The video is based on this article, which has an example of deploying an APEX workspace and an APEX application.

If you are new to Liquibase and SQLcl, you might find it easier to start with these.

The stars of today’s video are the offspring of Jeff Smith. I had been annoying Jeff on Twitter DMs while he was meant to be on holiday, so I agreed to pay him back by turning his children into international megastars. I take no responsibility for how they handle the fame! 😉

The star of today’s video is Oren Nakdimon, who was taking a day off from being a God of Edition-Based Redefinition. 🙂

Video : Liquibase : Deploying Oracle Application Express (APEX) Applications

Today’s video is a quick demonstration of deploying an Oracle Application Express (APEX) application using Liquibase.

The video is based on a new article of the same name, which covers the deployment of both APEX workspaces and APEX applications using Liquibase.

Here’s some other content you might find useful.

The star of today’s video is Jorge Rimblas, making a welcome return to the channel, along with some serious reverb. 🙂 Last time we saw Jorge was in a boxing gym, and his daughters have also taken the spotlight for one video.

Today’s video is a quick demonstration of using the APEX_DATA_PARSER package to convert simple CSV, JSON, XML and XLSX data into rows and columns.

If you want the copy/paste examples and the test files, you can get them from this article.

Yet another reason why you should always install APEX in your databases.
