    Dec 16 2025
    In this episode, we'll talk about Security and Control with Exadata We'll explore how organizations can benefit from cloud innovation while keeping full control over their data — a critical challenge in today's digital world. ---------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:44:19 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Welcome to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy prepares next generation workforce. I'm your host, Alba Joven, and today I am joined by Sylvia Adrdilo an Exadata Cloud customer Service Specialist at Oracle. 00:00:44:21 - 00:01:11:21 Unknown In this episode we will talk about bringing the cloud to you. Security and control with Exadata. We will explore how organizations can benefit from cloud innovation while keeping full control over the data. A critical challenge is to date digital work. So let's get started. To start off, Sylvia, I would love you to share a bit about your background and your current role at Oracle. 00:01:11:22 - 00:01:47:10 Unknown Absolutely. And first of all, thank you so much for having me here. It's, it's absolutely a pleasure. So my journey started with my graduated as a telecommunications engineer from the University of Malaga in Spain in 2014, and after I finish my studies, I jumped straight into the IT world. And it's been over ten years now. So early on I worked on several companies like IBM and U next and Indra, and during those years I mainly worked as a backend developer in several technologies. 00:01:47:12 - 00:02:16:08 Unknown And I have to say that it was a great foundation because you really get to understand how systems talk to each other behind the scenes, which later became super valuable. And after that, I moved into a more operational role. I was a support lead for UCS as Smart Metering Implementation Program, or MIP in Accenture, and as me was at the time, and still is actually a massive national project to modernize how energy usage is tracked across the country. 00:02:16:10 - 00:02:45:03 Unknown And in that role, I supported everything from from manufacturing the smart meters to getting them delivered to warehouses, activating their SIM cards, installing them in homes, and even managing the returns under the activation processes. It was it was a lot about ensuring that that such a massive operation run smoothly, run securely. I was solving incidents quickly, but but also you had to make sure that they were solved correctly. 00:02:45:05 - 00:03:08:21 Unknown So that millions of people were affected. And that really taught me how critical operation, security and resilience are when you're dealing with important data, national infrastructure. And then in in 2021, I joined Oracle as a cloud systems solution engineer. And in that role I started working much closer with customers. I was involved in the pre-sales side of the deals. 00:03:08:23 - 00:03:36:19 Unknown I was doing technical presentations, workshops. I was learning about all kinds of different Oracle technologies. Oracle's hardware portfolio, and also about data center setups and and the needs from different industries. And then last year, in 2024, I moved to my current role as an Excel Data Cloud customer specialist. And in this role I continue supporting our sales team from from a technical standpoint, during the pre-sales process. 00:03:36:22 - 00:04:06:21 Unknown But now I'm more focused or solely focused on Exadata Cloud customer. So basically I help customers and I help internal teams understand what Exadata Cloud Customer is, how it fits into their IT strategy, and especially how it can meet their security and operational needs. So I deliver workshops, I answer technical questions, I join customer meetings, create documentation, and also help train our internal teams so that everyone stays sharp on the technology. 00:04:06:23 - 00:04:32:18 Unknown So to summarize, my my whole career has been about understanding technology deeply and then helping people use it safely and effectively. So now let's talk about a crucial topic that is data security. Can you explain what data security is and why it's so important in today's world? Think of data security like the lock and the alarm system of your home. 00:04:32:20 - 00:05:10:17 Unknown So you keep your doors locked. Maybe you have cameras, sensors, alarms, whatever. All because what's inside your house is valuable and personal. Now, in the digital world, your data, whether it's research papers, personal information or medical records, business transactions and so on is just as valuable, if not more. So data security is the set of practices and technologies that we use to protect that digital...

    Tips and tricks for better usage of Oracle Academy teaching resources – guideline from practical experience, with special focus on solutions for frequent challenges
    Dec 9 2025
    In this podcast, Dusa Vukovic, Principal of the Grammar School for Computer Science, Oracle Academy Teacher and Oracle Academy Instructor speaks from her experience using Oracle Academy materials in the classroom, as well as an instructor for Oracle Academy. She speaks about practical things teachers will discover while using Oracle Academy curriculum in their classrooms. ------------------------------------------ Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:37:04 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Welcome to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy helps prepare the next generation's workforce. 00:00:37:06 - 00:01:10:06 Unknown I'm your host, Ljiljana Krkić. Oracle Academy program manager. In this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Dawsonville College principal of the Grammar School for Computer Science. Oracle Academy teacher and Oracle Academy instructor. She will speak about her experience using Oracle Academy materials in her classroom with her students, as well as an instructor for Oracle Academy. She will speak about practical things teachers will discover while using Oracle Academy curriculum in their classrooms. 00:01:10:08 - 00:01:37:02 Unknown Hi, Dusa. Welcome. Could you please tell us a little bit about your background and your current role? Hello. And also coach, I'm the principal of the grammar school for computer science. It's a school with a especially demanding curriculum designed for students talented in computer science. I have more than 20 years of experience in teaching programing in database topics. 00:01:37:04 - 00:02:06:17 Unknown I'm also author of the several textbook, on computer science since 2010. I have been an instructor for teacher courses within the Oracle Academy program, leading training sessions in Serbia, Montenegro, Turkey, Austria and the Czech Republic. This is really impressive. And could you please describe in more details your early experience with Oracle Academy, and what led you to become an Oracle Academy member as a teacher? 00:02:06:17 - 00:02:36:23 Unknown I'm aware that, especially in the past, but even today, education often provides a lot of theoretical knowledge without giving students a clear sense of how it's applied in the real world. When I first heard about the Oracle Academy program, I immediately thought, this must be different. Oracle is known for its excellent software solutions. So I assumed that their courses would be packed with real world examples and content that could be applied immediately. 00:02:37:01 - 00:03:04:22 Unknown Online courses and training are now a standard part of daily life. Back in 2007, when I took my first Oracle Academy course, very few people had ever experienced online training. Many couldn't imagine what it's like. The online portion of the training back then was nothing like we have today. It involved live chat sessions with only occasional image, and the internet connection was dial up. 00:03:05:00 - 00:03:30:01 Unknown I still remember the sound of the modern screechy as it connected to the landline. It's so funny to think now about the landline. Most people don't even use today. For me, it was an incredibly experience that back in 2007, I was able to follow from my home and online course with instructor Pat Hays was teaching from her office in the United States. 00:03:30:03 - 00:03:56:11 Unknown It really showed me how Oracle was not just keeping up with technological advancements, but actively applying them. That experience inspired me to be a part of that kind of innovation. I wanted to offer my students the opportunity to stay on the cutting edge of technology, learning skills that could be immediately applied in real world scenarios. Yeah, these were really very specific times. 00:03:56:17 - 00:04:23:22 Unknown And tell us, what were some of the key challenges you experienced and how did you overcome them? This is an excellent question. One of the biggest challenges when working with students is capturing their interest and keeping their attention. Many people myself included, agree that this issue is even more pronounced today, largely because kids are surrounded by technology and endless distractions on the internet. 00:04:24:00 - 00:04:52:21 Unknown However, the question of attention and engagement is an essential part of the teaching and learning process. When students are engaged, then focus. The results are always better. They don't just learn a single lesson. It's not about that. It's about developing a desire to keep learning and discovering new things throughout their lives. The Oracle Academy materials play a significant role in sparking students interest and keeping them engaged. 00:04:52:22 - 00:...

    The Transformative Power of Low Code Development
    Nov 25 2025
    In this Episode Orlaith Lawton speaks with Oracle ACE Roberto Capancioni about the importance of APEX and why it is the world's most popular low-code application platform. ------------------------------------------------------ Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:35:14 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Hello and welcome to Oracle Academy Texas, where we discuss how Oracle Academy prepares the next generation's workforce. 00:00:35:15 - 00:01:03:22 Unknown I'm your host Orlaith Lawton. In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of the low code software development and explore how it's reshaping industries, streamlining workflows, and enabling faster innovation. Our guest today is Oracle Ace Roberto Journey, and he shares his expertise on Oracle Apex, the world's most popular low code application platform. You're very welcome, Roberto. 00:01:04:02 - 00:01:34:01 Unknown Lovely to talk to you. And thank you so much for being our guest today on our podcast. Start off, Roberto, can you please give me a little bit about your background and your current job role? Thank you all for inviting me. If I'm open for me to be here with you and to share my knowledge in Oracle Apex and the Oracle technology in general, because I'm very, enthusiast of these environments. 00:01:34:01 - 00:02:37:17 Unknown And I try to explain why. My name is Roberto. I'm, I'm an engineer, and, I've been working in, in I.T for about 30 years. I started, focusing in databases or relational databases and, application development that many years ago for multi utility companies, also in, service sectors company. At the moment I work with mainly exclusively in apex project because they're a when I found the apex about 15 years ago, I thought that it was the, the only take for developing application in, in my career and the, in the the following of this podcast, I try to explain, explain why I also collaborators, 00:02:37:19 - 00:03:14:13 Unknown as a trainer and the also a consultant with companies and also education institution. So, I'm, I'd like to explain to student mainly to student and school because I think that at the moment the there is the need of this kind of, example of code of, the middle word technology, because, Oracle technology is suitable for company and also for educational institutions. 00:03:14:15 - 00:03:48:01 Unknown Thank you, Roberto, for that. And what is apex and what are the benefits of using Apex? Okay. In the apex is the, so-called low code development platform. Why low code look on? Because it the code at the moment is, mainly. And the hype word because the when you say low code, do you want to say that everybody can develop, quick and dirty applications. 00:03:48:03 - 00:04:30:01 Unknown And if you want, the apex can also do that. You can, develop in about an hour a very simple application. But the, the secret is that is also low code application. So it's suitable for business user, for student, for junior developers and also for enterprise applications or grades of housing because the technology that is below apex, that is the Oracle database is an enterprise platform. 00:04:30:01 - 00:05:16:07 Unknown So every company can leverage of database and the, the, low code, the environment, the to develop to develop application. So the secret is that, if you know, languages, if, you know, business problem, apex can without writing, single frontend code, the frontend means all the code that you have to write to create the web application that that usually it's not simple for also, for all the, old style, developers, apex do it for you. 00:05:16:07 - 00:05:51:11 Unknown So you can have to write frontend code. Also business code that you know that also or developers can do in they career and they don't know, web application because they are doing another job with apex. You can develop it quickly. Business application. So why is this the world's most popular low code application platform? I think for, for several reasons. 00:05:51:11 - 00:06:24:12 Unknown First of all, apex is included inside the, he tried the the Oracle database license, if you haven't to pay for apex because, apex is the database. Oracle is an extension of the database Oracle. So if you have a database, you data but you have to pay nothing to have Apex. You have a really apex in your environment. 00:06:24:12 - 00:07:23:01 Unknown You have even the two, provide the, application server or other, tech inside your component. Because if you have Oracle database, you have a really also apex. So, it's, it's very simple to start, but also, if you haven't developed with it and the it is, a mature technology because, even if, only this year we hear about, apex because when, ...

    In this Episode Tyra Peirce speaks with speaks with Oracle ACE Satwik Reddy about how businesses leverage Oracle APEX to build powerful applications without the need for extensive coding. ------------------------------------------ Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:35:04 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Welcome to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy prepares the next generation's workforce. 00:00:35:05 - 00:01:11:14 Unknown I'm your host, Tyra Peirce. In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of low code software development and explore how it's reshaping industries, streamlining workflows, and enabling faster innovation. Our guest, Oracle ace Satwik Reddy, shares his expertise on how businesses leverage Oracle Apex to build powerful applications without the need for extensive coding. Welcome Chadwick or Hyder. To start off, can you give me a bit about your background and your current job role? 00:01:11:16 - 00:01:40:09 Unknown Hey there. Developer tech enthusiast standing around an accidental quarter turn full time epics. Advocate. I have been working with Oracle Apex for over 13 years now. Here, like it's more than a decade deep in the loop code. It all began, back in my grad school. Like, me and my couple of friends, like, we are doing a hackathon and we were dabbling in different programing languages, trying to build a website. 00:01:40:11 - 00:02:11:02 Unknown And that's when, we stumbled across Oracle Apex. And honestly, it just clicked and we loved it. Since then, apex has been my jam and butter. Like, let's say right now I work as an apex technical lead. That means I do a lot of hats, like gathering requirements from stakeholders, designing scalable applications like a team of developers like, and make sure that when built, actually solves the real world problems. 00:02:11:04 - 00:02:37:17 Unknown And think of me as an orchestra conductor, like making sure every piece of the development puzzle fits licensing and hits the right notes in terms of performance, scalability, and reliability. And I also handle the production support and mentor the junior dev developers. Docker reviews write production design documents, and make sure every project stays aligned with the big picture goals of the organization. 00:02:37:17 - 00:03:07:19 Unknown So yeah, like yeah, a lot of moving parts, but with epics things move fast, faster, smoother than we would think. I love that you're so involved in the apex development from the beginning to the end. You're mentoring the junior staff and new apex developers, so you are quite the apex expert. So for my next question, what is low code application and what is low code application development and why should students learn it? 00:03:07:21 - 00:03:39:04 Unknown Great question. Let's start with low code and why it's not just a buzzword but a game changer, especially for students. In the morning the of building software. Right. Like low code. Development doesn't really, rely heavily on manual coding. Instead of writing thousands of lines of code, you visualize tools and like drag and drop interfaces, templates, reusable components, which can help you build apps quickly and efficiently. 00:03:39:06 - 00:04:01:00 Unknown And think of it like this. Like, instead of starting from scratch, low code gives you a toolbox full of ready made pads. You just snap them together, kind of like digital Lego and build what you need. And now, like here, here's where it gets even cooler. A lot of these platforms like Oracle Apex are adding more AI powered features. 00:04:01:02 - 00:04:39:23 Unknown That means you can build apps that analyze data and make predictions, create smart forms that adjust in real time to what the user types are. Even automate workflows like using AI driven decision making. So what used to take weeks or months to code? You can just create in days? Sometimes maybe has help now, like why students? Why should students care like live in break down this and like local development right is in high demand across industries making it a valuable skill that boosts employability for people from all backgrounds. 00:04:40:01 - 00:05:10:11 Unknown Like, you don't need to be a computer science major like any business students or educators, even art students, anyone who can learn low code and use it to solve real world problems. And it also helps in quick prototyping because let's say you want an idea for an app, you can go from concept to working name in a way you can already, or even an idea that's huge for class projects like hackathons or even the startup pitches. 00:05:10:13 - 00:05:43:06 Unknown Or if you're building any, demo or doing something.

Why is security so important in the context of AI and how does it connect to the Oracle database? 00:03:41:13 - 00:04:15:12 Unknown Great question. First, AI isn't magic. It's just a set of tools that process data. And whenever we talk about data, security becomes essential. AI system use techniques like larger language models, lens vectorization and retrieval, augmented generation, and drag. All of these interact with data and sometimes highly sensitive data. For example, in healthcare, Oracle Database Store patient records. You can't connect that kind of database directly to a public AI model. 00:04:15:12 - 00:04:54:06 Unknown You could accidentally expose private medical information. I can absolutely add ...

    AI for Data: When Data meets Intelligence
    Oct 7 2025
    AI is driving a remarkable transformation throughout the industry, delivering unprecedented productivity gains and enabling rapid insights from vast amounts of data. In this two-episode season premiere, Tirthankar Lahiri, SVP of Mission-Critical Data and AI Engines, discusses how Oracle AI Vector and embedded machine learning search are harnessing the power of AI to unlock value from enterprise data, and allow developers to build sophisticated RAG and Agentic frameworks that leverage the full power of the converged database architecture of Oracle Database — including its class-leading scalability, fault-tolerance, and enterprise-grade security. Furthermore, Oracle database provides several mechanisms to make data "AI-ready" by enabling declarative data intent for AI. In this session, we will describe these techniques, and more, to explain how to truly build an AI for data solution in this rapidly changing AI landscape! ------------------------------------ Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:34:07 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Welcome to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy prepares the next generation's workforce. 00:00:34:09 - 00:01:03:23 Unknown I'm your host, Tara Pierce. This is the first of two episodes on AI for data when data meets intelligence. Our guest speaker is to thank Carly Harris, senior vice president for mission critical data and AI engines at Oracle. Here's responsible for the data engine for Oracle database, including areas like AI, vector search, indexing and data compression. He also manages the Oracle Times ten in memory and the Oracle NoSQL database product teams to thank her. 00:01:03:23 - 00:01:33:13 Unknown Has 30 years of experience in the database industry and has worked on a variety of areas such as performance, scalability, manageability, caching, in-memory architectures and developer focused functionality. He has 71 issued and several pending patents. A bachelor's in computer Science from the Indian Institute of Technology and a master's in electrical engineering from Stanford University. In the first episode to thank our talks about how data makes AI intelligent and how enterprises are using AI to get greater value from their data. 00:01:33:15 - 00:01:59:19 Unknown Over to you to thank her. Hi. Hey, guys. Thank you very much for joining. It's a great pleasure to be presenting AI for data. This is an exciting time in technology. AI is ubiquitous. AI changes everything. And I actually makes data intelligent. Let's talk about that today. So you know Oracle is working on AI. As many of you know, at many levels in the enterprise stack. 00:01:59:21 - 00:02:31:22 Unknown We have AI initiatives for applications, AI initiatives for services. I for data. And we're building a lot of AI infrastructure, as you seen from the news. Now I'm going to focus on AI for data. That's the focus of my presentation today. How we bring AI, the power of AI and unleash it on enterprise data. So Oracle's goal is to make AI for data extremely simple for basically everything. 00:02:32:00 - 00:02:54:08 Unknown So no matter what kind of end user you are, whether you're an expert, an AI, or a developer, or a DBA random list, every single persona should be able to leverage AI for data. We want to make it possible for all applications to leverage AI for data and benefit all workloads with the AI for data. So this is the goal that we have for AI for data. 00:02:54:08 - 00:03:25:05 Unknown Now, there's again basically two classic kinds of AI in the classical sense. So let's quickly talk about one before I get to what's new. So the traditional AI, was basically called algorithmic AI. Algorithmic here is based on machine learning models, typically non neural net designed to do predictions classifications, forecasting etc. and for data science people, you know that there's many different machine learning algorithms. 00:03:25:07 - 00:03:44:06 Unknown And these are all now available in Oracle database. So if you want you can use one of these models. This is the ever evolving list. You can use one of these models to load to first of all to train, you know, a sorry, you could use one of these algorithms. Excuse me. I keep that in the trunk. 00:03:44:08 - 00:04:05:22 Unknown These are algorithms. You can use one of these to train models and then to run inferencing using these models. So you imagine you can take, you know, linear linear regression. The algorithm used that to train a model and then applied that to data in real time to basically do predictions. So that's what in database machine learning lets you do. 00:04:06:00 - 00:04:30:18 Unknown And we've had this, capability for a while now. So what ...

    Part II of AI for Data: When Data meets Intelligence
    Oct 7 2025
    AI is driving a remarkable transformation throughout the industry, delivering unprecedented productivity gains and enabling rapid insights from vast amounts of data. In the second of a two-episode season premiere, Tirthankar Lahiri, SVP of Mission-Critical Data and AI Engines, discusses how Oracle AI Vector and embedded machine learning search are harnessing the power of AI to unlock value from enterprise data. AI is triggering an incredible transformation across the industry, enabling breakthrough improvements in productivity and rapid insights across massive volumes of data. However, in order to fully harness the power of AI, it is necessary to enable AI processing where the data resides. Oracle AI vector and built-in-machine learning search bring the power of AI to enterprise data, and allow developers to build sophisticated RAG and Agentic frameworks that leverage the full power of the converged database architecture of Oracle Database — including its class-leading scalability, fault-tolerance, and enterprise-grade security. Furthermore, Oracle database provides several mechanisms to make data "AI-ready" by enabling declarative data intent for AI. In this session, we will describe these techniques, and more, to explain how to truly build an AI for data solution in this rapidly changing AI landscape! ------------------------------------------------ Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:36:04 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Welcome to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy prepares next generation's workforce. I'm your host, Tyra Peirce. 00:00:36:06 - 00:01:02:02 Unknown This is the second episode in our two part presentation. AI for data when data meets intelligence. In this episode, our guest speaker to thank Tirthankar Lahiri, senior vice President for mission critical data and AI engines at Oracle, concludes his presentation on AI and enterprise data. If you've not heard episode one yet, please go to oracle.com/podcast where you will find all episodes of Oracle Academy Tech Chat. 00:01:02:04 - 00:01:32:05 Unknown Now let me hand over two to thank for the conclusion of this presentation by. Hey guys, thank you very much for joining. It's a great pleasure to be presenting AI for data. Now let's talk about vector sequel. I've already mentioned this briefly earlier, so I won't spend too much time on this, but basically you can do vector distances to find similar, objects using the vector distance function and very simple query finding the customers that are similar to this photo. 00:01:32:07 - 00:01:55:00 Unknown And I wonder what the top five customers and we could add other complex conditions. Like I said earlier, maybe only one customers in San Francisco that match this photo. Again, that filter will be added to the query to find only the customers matching the photo in San Francisco. We could join, various with other tables as well. 00:01:55:01 - 00:02:25:20 Unknown For instance, we could join it with a status table that finds the customers only with a certain spending tier. So this sort of, you know, extension gives me, again, as I said earlier, the power of composing SQL with complex conditions to run very sophisticated searches. Okay. Once again, in the query, you can also specify how accurate you want the search to be, regardless of the index accuracy. 00:02:25:20 - 00:02:48:01 Unknown You can make a search more accurate by spending more time on the search by going deeper in the index. Same deal. The index. The default accuracy. Maybe the default was that 85%, but I want 95% for a certain search. I want to do a deeper search. This directive with the SQL lets me do exactly that. I can specify again how much I want in the SQL itself. 00:02:48:01 - 00:03:13:16 Unknown Maybe it's a different search. Maybe my recommendations initially were great. I want like a really deep recommendation based on my last search. My last browsing or buying patterns. So this lets me crank up the knob, crank up the dial rather for the accuracy based on my use case. Again, to allow the search to proceed deeper into the vector index. 00:03:13:18 - 00:03:34:07 Unknown Okay. All right. I'm going to, you know, vector index support transactions. There's not a whole lot to say about that. As you update the data, the vector indexes get maintained. The core indexes, you know, I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time on this because some of this is very oracle specific. But we scale our Oracle database in a number of different ways. 00:03:34:09 - 00:03:58:12 Unknown And each of those scale out mechanism, the Oracle database runs on multiple physical computers. All of those mechanisms support vector indexes. So vector ...
