This blog page is a technical resource primarily focused on Oracle technologies, specifically Oracle APEX and PL/SQL. It features a collection of articles and tutorials written by Vinish Kapoor, an expert in Oracle technologies. The content covers a wide range of topics including development techniques, problem-solving guides, and best practices for Oracle APEX and PL/SQL.
When you write code with a team, combining everyone's work can become a massive headache. You might spend days manually fixing conflicts instead of building new features. Continuous integration solves this exact problem by automating the entire merging process. This…
When you build complex applications, managing how data gets saved can become a huge headache. You might find yourself writing code that constantly opens and closes database connections. This scattered approach often leads to messy code and serious data inconsistencies. The Unit of…
The software development landscape is undergoing a massive transformation driven by wrapper startups. You no longer need to spend years building complex underlying models to deliver immense value. By leveraging existing application programming interfaces, you can build powerful solutions in…
Vibe coding is currently driving a massive transformation in software development. You are living in an era where writing code no longer requires memorizing endless lines of complex syntax. Developers around the world are embracing this new methodology to build applications at unprecedented…
If you want to build high-quality software, you need a solid automated testing framework. The test pyramid ISTQB concept provides a clear roadmap for your software quality assurance efforts. It shows you exactly where to focus your time and resources…
Writing code without testing it is like driving a car with your eyes closed. You might get lucky for a while, but eventually something goes very wrong. That is where a well-structured testing strategy saves the day. If you have…
If you have been writing code for any length of time, you have probably stared at an old file and thought, "Who wrote this mess?" Then you realized it was you, six months ago. That moment of recognition is exactly…
Building a new application is much like constructing a house. You cannot just start laying bricks without a solid system blueprint in place. Software architecture serves as that essential technical foundation for your digital projects. When you understand software architecture,…
If you are running AI workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, May 2026 brought a set of meaningful changes worth understanding at an implementation level. Two new models landed on OCI Enterprise AI, the sovereign deployment architecture got a concrete production…
When you run Oracle AI Database on AWS, you end up managing audit and operational logs across two cloud planes simultaneously. OCI handles its own telemetry through Log Analytics, and AWS surfaces its log streams through CloudWatch. Neither plane alone…
The world of artificial intelligence moves fast in 2026, and keeping up with it can feel overwhelming. Whether you are a developer, a researcher, or just someone curious about machine learning, finding the right AI blogs to follow can make…
You often hear that Kubernetes applications should be stateless to scale effectively. However, your real-world engineering requirements might involve legacy sessions or complex authenticated user flows. When you need to keep a user connected to the same backend pod, session…
Select AI is Oracle's in-database natural language layer. It lets you generate SQL from plain text, retrieve semantically relevant content from vector stores, build agentic workflows, and produce synthetic data, all from within the database engine using SQL and PL/SQL…
Most production agent stacks carry the same architectural debt: a vector store bolted on for retrieval, a relational table for chat history, hand-written extraction prompts to convert conversations into facts, and bespoke isolation logic layered on top of all of…
A single standby database is a reasonable starting point for disaster recovery, but it forces a binary choice at failover time. You either cut over to your one available standby or you do not. Real production environments have multiple failure…
If you are running a hybrid cloud environment that straddles Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Google Workspace, you have probably dealt with the painful reality of managing two separate identity lifecycles. You maintain users in Google Workspace for productivity tooling and…
If you are building a financial reporting or planning application on Oracle APEX and your customers demand EU data residency, the path forward is Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud backed by Autonomous Database. This is not just a geography checkbox. It…
When you are running latency-critical database workloads on Exadata Cloud@Customer, your storage tier is often the single biggest performance constraint. Oracle has added the Extreme Flash storage server to the Cloud@Customer lineup, and the engineering decision of whether to use…
