Explore the capabilities of GraalVM and the Database Multilingual Engine in this informative conference talk. Discover how GraalVM functions as a universal virtual machine, supporting multiple programming languages and enabling interoperability in a shared runtime. Learn about its versatility in running standalone or within various contexts like OpenJDK, Node.js, Oracle DB, or MySQL. Understand how GraalVM can enhance Java performance, extend application functionality, and create native images. Delve into the comprehensive ecosystem of GraalVM, which supports a wide array of languages across different deployment scenarios. Additionally, examine the Oracle-MLE architecture, which leverages GraalVM to embed programming languages within the Oracle DB. Gain insights into how this approach simplifies the creation of stored procedures and user-defined extensions, reducing the need for extensive PL/SQL expertise and allowing for tighter coupling with the DB query execution engine.
