Help me test a new Oracle Dev Gym feature: Classes

Back in June, we opened the "early adaptor" doors to the Oracle Dev Gym, a modern, mobile website on top of the PL/SQL Challenge's quiz platform.



We've gotten lots of great feedback and continue to develop the site (with plans to make it generally available in Q1 CY2017).

The next feature we will be releasing on the Dev Gym is Classes.

Classes will offer us multiple opportunities to present workouts and quizzes to users.

For example, on Friday 26 August, I will hold a "live" Dev Gym workout at a Chicago Oracle Group event. We will do this via a Class. Other classes in the future will be tied to monthly webcasts and more.

And now my request for help: I'd much rather expose and fix any bugs a week before the event, rather than at the event itself. :-)

So I have set up a test class for everyone starting at 18 August 15:00 UTC (10 AM US Central time). 

 I'd like as many of you as possible to take the quizzes in the two hours that the class will be open - and if at all possible, start the workout promptly at 15:00.

It consists simply of three quizzes, so it won't take you long to do.

To take a class, simply click on the Classes link in the left side navigation bar:


Then click on the name of the class you want to take (there will only be one on Thursday):


Finally, click on the Join Class button and you will be added as a student for the class. You can do this anytime before and during the class. If you have turned on reminders for quizzes, you will also receive email reminders for this class.


If you join the class after it's started, you will be taken right to the class workout.

We are working hard to keep this site simple and intuitive, so I hope that you will be able to navigate through the class without any difficulty. 

If you do run into any sorts of problems, or have ideas for how we can improve Dev Gym Classes, just click on Feedback on the top right corner of the page:


Thanks in advance for your help!

Oh and if you have not yet taken quizzes at the PL/SQL Challenge or Dev Gym, now would be a great time to get started! 

Once you are signed in to your Oracle Account, you'll be ready to go.

Running out of PGA memory with MULTISET ops? Watch out for DISTINCT!

A PL/SQL team inside Oracle made excellent use of nested tables and MULTISET operators in SQL, blending data in tables with procedurally-generated datasets (nested tables).  All was going well when they hit the dreaded: ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 2032 bytes  They asked for my help.  The error occurred on this SELECT: SELECT  *    FROM header_tab trx    WHERE (generated_ntab1 SUBMULTISET OF trx.column_ntab)       AND ((trx.column_ntab MULTISET             EXCEPT DISTINCT generated_ntab2) IS EMPTY) The problem is clearly related to the use of those nested tables. Now, there was clearly sufficient PGA for the nested tables themselves. So the problem was in executing the MULTISET-related functionality. We talked for a bit about dropping the use of nested tables and instead doing everything in SQL, to avoid the PGA error. That would, however require lots of work, revamping algorithms, ensuring correctness, you know the score. Then my eyes snagge

How to Pick the Limit for BULK COLLECT

This question rolled into my In Box today: In the case of using the LIMIT clause of BULK COLLECT, how do we decide what value to use for the limit? First I give the quick answer, then I provide support for that answer Quick Answer Start with 100. That's the default (and only) setting for cursor FOR loop optimizations. It offers a sweet spot of improved performance over row-by-row and not-too-much PGA memory consumption. Test to see if that's fast enough (likely will be for many cases). If not, try higher values until you reach the performance level you need - and you are not consuming too much PGA memory.  Don't hard-code the limit value: make it a parameter to your subprogram or a constant in a package specification. Don't put anything in the collection you don't need. [from Giulio Dottorini] Remember: each session that runs this code will use that amount of memory. Background When you use BULK COLLECT, you retrieve more than row with each fetch,

Quick Guide to User-Defined Types in Oracle PL/SQL

A Twitter follower recently asked for more information on user-defined types in the PL/SQL language, and I figured the best way to answer is to offer up this blog post. PL/SQL is a strongly-typed language . Before you can work with a variable or constant, it must be declared with a type (yes, PL/SQL also supports lots of implicit conversions from one type to another, but still, everything must be declared with a type). PL/SQL offers a wide array of pre-defined data types , both in the language natively (such as VARCHAR2, PLS_INTEGER, BOOLEAN, etc.) and in a variety of supplied packages (e.g., the NUMBER_TABLE collection type in the DBMS_SQL package). Data types in PL/SQL can be scalars, such as strings and numbers, or composite (consisting of one or more scalars), such as record types, collection types and object types. You can't really declare your own "user-defined" scalars, though you can define subtypes  from those scalars, which can be very helpful from the p
