Link to page with IG sending ID showing lookup value

Oracle Developer Community — 2026-09-23T11:53:59.902381+00:00

Am I missing something obvious or have I just never encountered or thought about this before? I have a page that has a link to another page where I have an Interactive grid. The link sends filter in the form of IG[my_ig]_MY_COL:1234. The column in the IG on the target page is defined as a select list and has a LOV connected. It works fine on the page both for the values on the rows as well as for setting a filter by clicking on the column header and the selecting one of the display values. But t

Cross-Schema FK Relationships Not Resolved in SQL Developer VS Code Diagrams

Oracle Developer Community — 2026-09-22T17:35:03.924447+00:00

Perhaps this is a known issue. When adding a table from another schema to an existing SQL Developer for VS Code data model diagram, the extension does not seem to resolve the FK relationship to the table already shown. Instead, it adds a second visual instance of the same table and leaves the FK relationship disconnected. This is my first time using this feature, so is there something I'm not doing correctly? I press and hold the Alt key while dragging and the Shift key when dropping.

Which deployment is faster: SQL or APEXlang?

Oracle Developer Community — 2026-09-21T14:24:44.219840+00:00

Hi team, This time I am not coming with a question, but hopefully with part of an answer. 🙂 I spent some time testing SQL versus APEXlang deployment performance , and here is the TL;DR version of what I found. 1. The network path matters more than anything else Regardless of which deployment method you use, deploying an APEX application involves a lot of communication with the database. The biggest optimization I found was simply moving SQLcl closer to the database in network terms . That alone

To get the most out this feature, a good training run is essential. Netflix approach is pretty much the ideal one: use a canary deployment of a new version to collect training data and cr

Inside Java — 2026-09-04T00:00:00+00:00

In this talk, we’ll explore why the JDK’s garbage collectors work the way they do and how Java memory management affects application performance. We’ll look at the sometimes non-obvious relationship between RAM and CPU, and why they must always be considered together.

Deploying a Replicated M3DB Cluster on Oracle Kubernetes Engine with Grafana Observability

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — 2026-09-03T22:15:00+00:00

Introduction Part 1: Building Btrfs-Backed Storage on Oracle Kubernetes Engine: Manual and Automated Approaches established the storage foundation: dedicated OCI Block Volumes attached to Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) workers, formatted with Btrfs, mounted independently of the worker boot disks, and prepared through a reusable automated workflow.

Designing Zero Trust and Resilient Pipelines for Healthcare Workloads on OCI using Confidential Computing

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — 2026-09-03T19:54:23+00:00

Healthcare and life sciences organizations hold some of the most sensitive data in existence — genomic sequences, clinical trial outcomes, real-world evidence, diagnostic imaging, and more — yet scientific collaboration often requires this data to move across organizational boundaries. A hospital must share patient information with a research institution while a pharmaceutical company needs real-world […]

Building an agent harness that survives production

Oracle Developers — 2026-09-03T13:13:44+00:00

Put an agent on your refunds queue. It reads the ticket, finds the order, checks the policy, issues the refund. The demo goes beautifully. Six weeks later it closes 140 tickets in an afternoon and reports every one resolved. Forty-one of them never reached the payments API. The model wrote “refund issued” because that is […]

It can be difficult to step back and assess whether the underlying environment is still set up to support those priorities. Oracle offers eligible customers a complimentary Oracle […]

Why Move PostgreSQL to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? A Deep Dive into OCI Database with PostgreSQL

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — 2026-09-02T16:50:00+00:00

PostgreSQL has become a favorite database for modern application teams: open source, extensible, standards-friendly, and proven across transactional, analytical, geospatial, SaaS, and cloud-native workloads. But as PostgreSQL estates grow, so does the operational burden: patching, backups, monitoring, scaling, storage planning, replication, failover, disaster recovery, security hardening, and version upgrades. That is where OCI Database with […]

Value Classes Still Need Compiler Sympathy

Inside Java — 2026-08-24T00:00:00+00:00

Declaring a value class is first and foremost a semantic decision. It tells our fellow programmers that its instances are defined entirely by their state and do not need identity. That clearer model is valuable in itself! The JVM’s additional freedom to optimize how those values are represented is a welcome bonus. C2 can do amazing things with that freedom, but it cannot always recover information hidden behind abstraction boundaries. Profiling and inspecting the generated code remain the best w

What we learned about letting agents into a production database

Oracle Developers — 2026-08-21T15:46:41+00:00

Cracking the Linux Boot Code: Linux Boot-Time Diagnostics Foundations

Oracle Linux — 2026-08-20T16:00:00+00:00

When a Linux system crawls, freezes, or vanishes into a blank screen during startup, the real story is often hidden in the earliest seconds of boot. Linux boot-time debugging helps uncover that story by identifying whether the delay or failure comes from a problematic service, driver, mount, firmware handoff, or kernel initialization path. During startup, […]

Episode 67 “Keeping Up With the Java Release Train” [I/O]

Preparing for Change: Safe Switching over Sealed APIs

Inside Java — 2026-08-14T00:00:00+00:00

An exhaustive switch on a sealed type covers the permitted subtypes the compiler knows about; it does not cover future additions, which can cause MatchException at run time. API authors should document the expected evolution of sealed types so that client code can choose how to handle future additions. It is almost never necessary to use default when switching over a sealed type—and often not the best option.
