AI can generate a database schema in seconds. But can that schema survive real users, real growth, and real performance pressure?

💡 Why This Session Matters

It has never been easier to ask AI to design a database schema. A few prompts, a quick review, and your Oracle Database is ready to go.

But the real test begins when the application grows. Will that AI-generated design remain flexible, maintainable, and performant when demand suddenly increases?

This session explores how to rapidly prototype and deploy database schemas, and more importantly, how to evolve them as your application scales.

🎯 What You'll Learn

✅ Key physical design concepts for Oracle Database
✅ How AI can help in database design, and where human judgement still matters
✅ How to think about performance as your schema evolves over time

You can create indexes for ad-hoc searches of #JSON and #XML data

Oracle AI Database 26ai simplified the syntax to

CREATE SEARCH INDEX ... ON ... ( { xmlcol | jsoncol } )

Giving indexed full-text searches of these values

[SQL Daily @sqldaily]

You can count the unique values in a column in #SQL with

COUNT ( DISTINCT col )

Ensure DISTINCT goes inside the COUNT

If you do

DISTINCT COUNT ( col )

The database counts the rows, then returns the unique counts
