What is Oracle Java DB?

Java DB is a relational database management system (RDBMS). Data is stored and queried via SQL or JDBC. Like other RDBMSs, Java DB can also be accessed through a persistence layer such as JPA, Hibernate, or JDO. Java objects can be stored in the columns of Java DB tables.

Ability to handle large volumes and data sets but could be more user-friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is stable."
  • "The solution could be more user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case for this solution is for applications within the bank that are minor applications and web applications developed in house.

What is most valuable?

The solution's capability to handle large data sets, large volumes and indexing are the most valuable features. Additionally, since we deal with large volume data sets the security and transparent data encryption are embedded. So we don't need to worry about security tools.

What needs improvement?

The solution could be more user-friendly. It comes with baggage so it should be simple to use. The PLS QL and the queries are efficient, but there isn't a major difference between the normal Java and Oracle Java DP. So, it should be a little more user-friendly and developer friendly.

Additionally, handy release notes could be included in the next release because they will indicate the difference between the previous and the latest versions. For example, we couldn't find the use cases when we were doing the research. So whenever a search is done in the new DB, and we research Mongo or Cassandra, we get a lot of use cases from these communities. This solution is lacking because it's a giant, and everyone knows that most enterprise scales DBs are either used by Oracle products or in core banking. However, for Java DB, there should be more use cases, so it's easier for the developers and the users to pick and choose the right platform, application, domain, and how to utilize them.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

How was the initial setup?

I cannot comment on the deployment process as I was not very involved in projects.

Stable, efficient, and easy to deploy
Pros and Cons
  • "Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
  • "Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case for this solution is for storing application data.

How has it helped my organization?

With this solution, we are able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier.

What is most valuable?

The feature I have found most valuable is the memory management algorithms, which are much more efficient than the open-source.

What needs improvement?

With respect to the product's consistency, there's a lot of scope that could be introduced in regulator basis. In the next release, I'm looking for an improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes. The regulator databases could also be improved. I also think the price fluctuation with the various SQL implementations is something that should be looked into, as well as increasing Node's SQL support into Oracle.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is 99.99% stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is easily scalable - we can easily scale the number of servers we can deploy the application on.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support for this product is good, with no issues.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have previously used several other solutions, including MySQL, Oracle, and Node DB.

How was the initial setup?

The initial deployment didn't take much time and only required one person.

What was our ROI?

Our ROI has been a 600% growth in stock price, one of the biggest increase rates for any of the global top 50 companies.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product's pricing is very friendly, with no extra costs after the licensing fees.

What other advice do I have?

I would always suggest going with this product if the add-ons available through Oracle are required. I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Highly secure, stable and can connect other databases
Pros and Cons
  • "The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."
  • "The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."

What is our primary use case?

I use Oracle Java DB for creating Java stored procedures in Oracle databases as the means of communication with other types of databases. I would take information from those other databases and bring it into the current Oracle database. The solution can operate on-premise or on the cloud.

What is most valuable?

The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well.

Every Oracle session uses its own Java virtual machine. These sessions are independent, highly concurrent, and very reliable because of this.

The Java store procedure needs to work with the data residing in the same Oracle database which makes the access to the data lightning-fast because everything is within the same memory.

What needs improvement?

The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Oracle Java DB within the last 12 months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is very good. Java is a computer language, and you can write stored procedures using this language. Stability is awesome because it is all supported by Oracle database and Oracle relational database management system. It watches very carefully all the processes that are running, it is very stable and very secure.

How was the initial setup?

Oracle Java DB is installed with the Oracle database software and I do not know whether it is possible to install the Oracle database without this option.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Oracle Java DB a ten out of ten.
