Oracle XE 18c and #OracleRAD

This post is one of a series on what I learned while not at Kscope18.

Oracle XE (Express Edition) 18c - which is more than just a free, limited db.
Combined with the notion of #OracleRAD, you've got a mongo killer ;p

#oraclerad

Quite a few people had a shot of the XE 18c feature list.


Impressive as that is, when you start putting it into context of the sort of things that can now be achieved with the technology available today, it's mind boggling.
And Connor knows just how to amaze us the potential of this technology, making amazing concepts sound just within reach.


But I think the best way to think about it is how this mini-stack adds up.


We've got a free Database; with a middle tier that can handle all our web services needs (REST), while still using SQL; and APEX in the middle, giving us access to pretty much every capability the web offers today, where the productive IDE lives within the browser. Simply, wow.

I'd like to end this post with this tweet I saw just before Kscope18 began


This XE 18c will be magnitudes more advanced than XE 11g, and I think I'm understanding the true potential of this. I can't wait to find a stream of Mike Hichwa expressing his passion for this release.
