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

The differences between deterministic and result cache features

 EVERY once in a while, a developer gets in touch with a question like this: I am confused about the exact difference between deterministic and result_cache. Do they have different application use cases? I have used deterministic feature in many functions which retrieve data from some lookup tables. Is it essential to replace these 'deterministic' key words with 'result_cache'?  So I thought I'd write a post about the differences between these two features. But first, let's make sure we all understand what it means for a function to be  deterministic. From Wikipedia : In computer science, a deterministic algorithm is an algorithm which, given a particular input, will always produce the same output, with the underlying machine always passing through the same sequence of states.  Another way of putting this is that a deterministic subprogram (procedure or function) has no side-effects. If you pass a certain set of arguments for the parameters, you will always get

My two favorite APEX 5 features: Regional Display Selector and Cards

We (the over-sized development team for the PL/SQL Challenge - myself and my son, Eli) have been busy creating a new website on top of the PLCH platform (tables and packages): The Oracle Dev Gym! In a few short months (and just a part time involvement by yours truly), we have leveraged Oracle Application Express 5 to create what I think is an elegant, easy-to-use site that our users will absolutely love.  We plan to initially make the Dev Gym available only for current users of PL/SQL Challenge, so we can get feedback from our loyal user base. We will make the necessary adjustments and then offer it for general availability later this year. Anyway, more on that as the date approaches (the date being June 27, the APEX Open Mic Night at Kscope16 , where I will present it to a packed room of APEX experts). What I want to talk about today are two features of APEX that are making me so happy these days: Regional Display Selector and Cards. Regional Display Sel
