The presentation discusses revolutionizing Java database application development with reactive streams and virtual threads. It covers Oracle JDBC support for the latest Java versions, an overview of accessing Oracle databases with Java, differences between synchronous and asynchronous JDBC, classic Java threads versus virtual threads, reactive JDBC, reactive streams ingestion, and transitioning from synchronous to reactive JDBC using Oracle R2DBC. Live demos are provided comparing virtual threads to platform threads, reactive streams ingestion, and Oracle R2DBC.
