During the recent NLOUG meetup, I gave a presentation on the integration of Oracle Digital Assistant (ODA) into an APEX application. The focus was on a problem faced by teachers at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.
Environmental social governance (ESG) and sustainability reporting is important when it comes to measuring the impact of an organization’s policies and procedures for a sustainable future. ESG reporting has an impact on an organization’s brand, revenue, company valuation, and market perception.
Recently I shared several posts about the process to upgrade the GI from 19c to 23ai at ExaCC. My last post summarizes a lot of this, please read it here. But as you know, to use the 23ai you need to be running with OEL 8, and for ExaCC, the upgrade is quite simple.
This article explores a new feature in OCI called Resource Scheduler. First released in May 2024, this is a long awaited and very welcome addition to the OCI service offering.
Java 23 has arrived! It’s been six months since Java 22 was released, so it’s time for a fresh truckload of changes. This post takes you on a tour of everything that is part of this release, giving you a brief introduction to each of them.
