Oracle Database 23ai introduces groundbreaking enhancements that redefine transaction processing, ensuring greater concurrency, flexibility, and efficiency.

This talk will explore four key features that impact database transactions: Logical Replication of JSON Relational Duality Views, Lock-Free Reservations, Sessionless Transactions, and Value-based Concurrency Control. Learn how we logically and consistently replicate data stored in JSON Relational Duality Views to heterogenous target data stores. The Lock-free Reservations feature boosts concurrency of hot data, enhancing system efficiency. Sessionless Transactions enables lightweight and efficient transactions in the database, reducing complexity in building modern applications. Value-based Concurrency Control introduces a novel concurrency control approach that increases parallelism by reducing the locking duration.

Join us as we dive into these innovations and their impact on transaction processing in Oracle Database 23ai.
