Alex Keh's Oracle .NET Blog

Learn how Oracle Database brings unprecedented high availability to .NET applications, which allows end users to experience near-zero downtime, no errors, and automatic recovery after a failure. These capabilities are made possible through several technologies, such as Application Continuity, Transaction Guard, and Transparent Application Failover. Learn how to employ these technologies and others to ensure .NET application high availability in both planned outage and unplanned outages. This session focuses on ensuring high availability from the end user's perspective even when the database itself becomes temporarily unavailable.

Learn how to install Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) release 18.4 on Windows, the free edition of Oracle Database. We also show how to connect to the database using SQL*Plus, how to startup and shutdown the database, how to set up the database to automatically start when windows starts and how to enable the included HR sample schema for use when trying out Oracle code examples.

Learn how to register, configure, and use Oracle Data Provider for .NET performance counters. This video walks through the process step by step, culminating in a live ODP.NET counters demonstration with Windows Performance Monitor.

Oracle databases have numerous advanced security capabilities. These capabilities are only useful if enabled throughout your technology stack: from application to database. In this session, learn how to develop secure Oracle .NET applications to complete a secure end to end stack. See how to use Oracle Data Provider for .NET to secure your application passwords, authentication, communications, data integrity, and even trace files. In addition, we will demonstrate how to optimize performance and maintain full user security and auditing capabilities through proxy authentication and end-to-end tracing.
