Why Oracle 23ai Is a Game Changer for Full Stack Developers!

Full stack developers work across the frontend, backend, and database. This often means using many tools just to build one application. Oracle Database 23ai reduces this complexity by bringing modern features like JSON support, AI capabilities, and better SQL directly into the database. This allows developers to focus more on building features and less on managing infrastructure.

Oracle 23ai supports multiple data types in a single database. Modern applications deal with relational data, JSON documents, and sometimes AI related data like vectors. Earlier, developers had to use separate systems for these. With Oracle 23ai, everything can live in one place, making applications easier to design and maintain.

One of the biggest improvements for developers is JSON support. Full-stack developers often prefer JSON because it fits naturally with APIs and frontend frameworks. Oracle 23ai lets developers read and write data as JSON while storing it internally in relational tables for better performance and consistency. This means you get the flexibility of JSON and the reliability of SQL at the same time.

A simple example :

INSERT INTO users VALUES (

  JSON {

    "id" : 1,

    "name" : "Pubudu",

    "email" : "pubudu@orapub.com"

  }

);


SELECT u.data.name FROM users u WHERE u.data.email = 'pubudu@orapub.com';


Another major benefit of Oracle 23ai is that AI features are built directly into the database. Developers no longer need to move data to external systems to run AI searches. Oracle 23ai supports vector search, which is useful for recommendations, similarity searches, and smart search features in applications.

A simple example :

SELECT item_name

FROM items

ORDER BY VECTOR_DISTANCE(embedding, :input_vector)

FETCH FIRST 5 ROWS ONLY;


Oracle 23ai also helps reduce backend code. Many tasks that used to require complex application logic can now be handled directly using SQL. This keeps backend services lightweight and easier to maintain. Full stack developers can write fewer lines of code while still building powerful features.

The database is also designed for modern development styles. Oracle 23ai works well with Rest APIs, microservices, and cloud-native applications. It integrates smoothly with popular frontend frameworks like React, Angular as well.

Security is another strong area where Oracle 23ai helps developers. Features like encryption, access control, and data protection are built in. Developers don’t need to write extra security code for common use cases, which reduces bugs and improves application safety.

In summary, Oracle Database 23ai is a developer friendly platform that combines SQL, JSON, and AI in one system. For full-stack developers, this means fewer tools, simpler code, faster development, and future ready applications.

Setting ORACLE_SID

The  Oracle System ID  ( S ID ) is used to uniquely identify a particular database on a system How to set ORACLE_SID: Windows: set ORACLE_SID=orcl Unix/ Linux: export ORACLE_SID=orcl SID is case sensitive in Unix / Linux environments. How to check the current ORACLE_SID: Windows: Go to the commnand prompt and type as C:\> set ORACLE_SID (This will show if any ORACLE_SID is already set). C:\> set (To know all the parameters set) Unix/ Linux: echo $ORACLE_SID
