If you use scripting languages to power web, mobile, and/or enterprise applications, this session will show you how to use Oracle Database efficiently. It demonstrates how PHP can take full advantage of new performance, scalability, availability, and security features in Oracle Database 12c and Oracle Linux. Many of these features are available to other C-based scripting languages too, like Ruby, Python and Perl. DBA's will also benefit by seeing how applications can be monitored.
