Our Quick Links issue for April 2023 is available. As usual the links are subdivided into different categories.
This time, because of the Oracle Database 23c Free – Developer Release launch and the many postings that have been already published we added a separate additional category called “23c Topics“. As the name already indicates it lists a selection of 23c blogs, videos, tutorials, and labs. Please note: The list is not complete, but only a small sample of available 23c information on the web.
