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.

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...

Three tips for getting started right with Oracle Database development

By "Oracle Database development", I mean, more or less, writing SQL and PL/SQL. I assume in this post that you have access to Oracle Database (which you can get via Cloud services, Docker , GitHub and OTN ). A. Use a powerful IDE, designed with database programming in mind. There are lots of editors out there, and many IDEs that work with Oracle Database. Sure, you could use Notepad, but OMG the productivity loss. You could also use a popular editor like Sublime, and then it get it working with Oracle. I suggest, however, that you  download  and install Oracle's own own, free, powerful IDE: SQL Developer . If you like to complement your graphical IDE with a command line tool (or OMG if you actually prefer  a command line tool to a graphical interface), you should also check out the relatively new and generating-lots-of-excitement SQLcl . B. Enable compile-time warnings and PL/Scope. The database has tons of useful functionality burned right into it, ready for...

Why DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE should not be in your application code

A database developer recently came across my  Bulletproof PL/SQL  presentation, which includes this slide. That first item in the list caught his attention: Never put calls to DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE in your application code. So he sent me an email asking why I would say that. Well, I suppose that is the problem with publishing slide decks. All the explanatory verbiage is missing. I suppose maybe I should do a video. :-) But in the meantime, allow me to explain. First, what does DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE do? It writes text out to a buffer, and when your current PL/SQL block terminates, the buffer is displayed on your screen. [Note: there can be more to it than that. For example, you could in your own code call DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINE(S) to get the contents of the buffer and do something with it, but I will keep things simple right now.] Second, if I am telling you not to use this built-in, how could text from your program be displayed on your screen? Not without a lot o...
