One of the main topics discussed in the seminar I attended was modernizing legacy applications.

Legacy applications are typically monolithic in nature, making it difficult to scale or integrate new features quickly. The monolithic apps ruled the software industry for a very longer time, but now people are moving (already many moved) to its great alternative, the microservice architecture.

I’ve come across monolithic applications that are tightly coupled with environments like Oracle or .NET, where growth can become a painful process. Over time, these systems tend to become slow, expensive to maintain, and resistant to change.

In the feed page I need to hide the dotted line in the mobile screens. So here you can see how its can be done in Bootstrap.

• d-none d-md-flex: shows only on md and up (desktop/tablet)

• d-block d-md-none: shows only on mobile

• text-nowrap: prevents text from wrapping

<div class="mb-3">
  <!-- Desktop layout -->
  <div class="d-none d-md-flex align-items-center">
    <a href="{{ .Permalink }}" class="text-decoration-none fw-medium me-2 text-nowrap">
      Sample heading
    </a>
    <div class="flex-grow-1 border-bottom dotted-line mx-2"></div>
    <p class="text-muted small text-nowrap mb-0">Date</p>
  </div>

  <!-- Mobile layout -->
  <div class="d-block d-md-none">
    <a href="{{ .Permalink }}" class="text-decoration-none fw-medium d-block mb-1">
      Sample heading
    </a>
    <p class="text-muted small mb-0">Date</p>
  </div>
</div>

Avinash is sharing some cool facts about SQLite.

• SQLite is the most deployed and most used database. There are over one trillion (1000000000000 or a million million) SQLite databases in active use.

• SQLite is likely used more than all other database engines combined. Billions and billions of copies of SQLite exist in the wild. It’s everywhere.

These are mind blowing, have a look into that.

To extract the value of a tag from the given XML-like string in PL/SQL, you can use the EXTRACTVALUE function or XMLTABLE for XML processing.

Example Using EXTRACTVALUE

DECLARE
    xml_data CLOB := '<Status>200</Status><Message>Success</Message>';
    l_message VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
    -- Extract the FunctionalReferenceID value
    l_message := EXTRACTVALUE(XMLTYPE('<root>' || xml_data || '</root>'), '/root/Message');
    
    -- Print the value
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('FunctionalReferenceID: ' || l_message);
END;

Example Using XMLTABLE

DECLARE
    xml_data CLOB := '<Status>200</Status><Message>Success</Message>';
    l_message VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
    -- Use XMLTABLE to extract the Message
    SELECT value
    INTO l_message
    FROM XMLTABLE(
        '/root/Message'
        PASSING XMLTYPE('<root>' || xml_data || '</root>')
        COLUMNS value VARCHAR2(50) PATH '.'
    );

    -- Print the value
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Message: ' || l_message);
END;

EXTRACTVALUE, XMLTABLE

For NVARCHAR2 and VARCHAR2 maximum size is 4000 bytes, or 32767 bytes if the MAX_STRING_SIZE initialization parameter is set to EXTENDED. This is useful you have to allocate more data to a variable.

You can run the below command to view the parameter.

show parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE;
