This concept is similar to PL/SQL where you group code logic into packages. In JavaScript, these code units are called modules. Just as with PL/SQL, you…

  • Troubleshooting the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API

  • Enable the MongoDB API on Always-Free Autonomous Database

    Oracle Database API for MongoDB translates the MongoDB wire protocol into SQL statements that are executed by Oracle Database.

  • Create MLE/JavaScript modules using Liquibase

    Multilingual Engine, or MLE for short, allows developers to use the hugely popular JavaScript language to write server-side code since Oracle Database 23ai has been released for Linux/Intel and Linux/Arm. Oracle AI Database 26ai continues to enhance MLE functionality. With the introduction of MLE/JavaScript in Oracle AI Database, you have 3 languages available to store…
