Developing Robust Date and Time Oriented Applications in Oracle Cloud

By: Michal Kvet

Overview of this book

Proper date and time management is critical for the development and reliability of Oracle Databases and cloud environments, which are among the most rapidly expanding technologies today. This knowledge can be applied to cloud technology, on premises, application development, and integration to emphasize regional settings, UTC coordination, or different time zones. This practical book focuses on code snippets and discusses the existing functionalities and limitations, along with covering data migration to the cloud by emphasizing the importance of proper date and time management. This book helps you understand the historical background and evolution of ANSI standards. You’ll get to grips with data types, constructor principles, and existing functionalities, and focus on the limitations of regional parameters and time zones, which help in expanding business to other parts of the world. You’ll also explore SQL injection threats, temporal database architecture, using Flashback Technology to reconstruct valid database images from the past, time zone management, and UTC synchronization across regions. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to create and manage temporal systems, prevent SQL injection attacks, use existing functionalities and define your own robust solutions for date management, and apply time zone and region rules.

Part 1: Discovering Oracle Cloud

It is evident that local data centers are relics of the past. Let this part assist you in understanding the core concepts of Oracle Cloud, deployment models, and their properties, specifics, and limitations, as well as the main terminology associated with cloud technology.

Soon, you will become familiar with Oracle Cloud registration, database definition, and provisioning. That's great. But what happens next? Data must be migrated to a cloud environment. Therefore, this part introduces SQL Loader, server, and the client-side import and export tools, and explores multiple migration techniques.

Are you are unfamiliar with the Oracle Cloud environment and do not know precisely where and how to start? This part is for you, with the whole process outlined step by step.

This part includes the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Oracle Cloud Fundamentals
  • Chapter 2, Data Loading and Migration Perspectives
