Oracle JDBC – Async and Sync
⚫ Project Loom/Virtual Threads
− Synchronous database access with lightweight threads
− Standard JDBC + Virtual Threads
− Client application call stack may use conventional (synchronous) code
− Libraries must be compatible with Virtual Threads
− Oracle instrumented the Oracle JDBC 21c driver to support Virtual Threads
⚫ Reactive Programming
− Asynchronous database access with non-blocking network I/O
− Oracle Reactive Streams Ingestion + Oracle R2DBC + Oracle JDBC Reactive Extensions
− Application call stack must be fully asynchronous
− Libraries are available: Reactor, RxJava, Akka, Vert.x
8. Copyright © 2023, Oracle and/or its affiliates
Classic Java Platform Threads
⚫ Database access with blocking threads
⚫ A JDBC call blocks a thread for 100’s of milliseconds (thread-per-request style)
⚫ Thread count increases linearly with the number of JDBC calls
⚫ Performance degrades as the number of threads increases
⚫ 1 MB of stack memory per thread
⚫ Scheduling many platform threads is expensive
⚫ Preemptive scheduling vs time-slicing
9. Copyright © 2022, Oracle and/or its affiliates
Virtual Threads - JEPs 425, 436, 444
⚫ Virtual Threads – JEPs (JDK Enhancement Proposals)
⚫ Lightweight threads that dramatically reduce the effort of writing, maintaining, and
observing high-throughput concurrent applications
⚫ Enable applications written in the simple thread-per-request style to scale with near-
optimal hardware utilization
⚫ Enable easy troubleshooting, debugging, and profiling of virtual threads with existing
JDK tools
⚫ Do not remove the traditional implementation of threads
⚫ Do not alter the basic concurrency model of Java
⚫ Enable existing code that uses Java threads (java.lang.Thread, etc) to adopt virtual
threads with minimal change
10. Copyright © 2023, Oracle and/or its affiliates
Virtual Threads - JEPs 425, 436, 444
⚫ java.lang.Thread
⚫ final Boolean - isVirtual()
⚫ static Thread.Builder.OfVirtual - ofVirtual()
⚫ static Thread.Builder.OfPlatform - ofPlatform()
⚫ static Thread - startVirtualThread(Runnable task)
⚫ java.util.concurrent.Executors
⚫ static ExecutorService - newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor()

Demo # 1: Virtual vs Platform Threads
⚫ Virtual Threads versus Platform Threads
⚫ JEP 425 Virtual Threads (Preview)
⚫ JEP 436 (Second Preview)
⚫ JEP 444 (Target -> JDK 21)
⚫ Runs on Java 19, 20, 21
⚫ javac --release 19 --enable-preview
⚫ java --enable-preview
⚫ Oracle JDBC Driver 21c instrumented to support Virtual Threads
⚫ Verifiable comparison of OS/HW resources consumption (Platform Threads x Virtual
Threads)

Reactive Streams Ingestion (RSI)
⚫ Java Library for Reactive Streams Ingestion
⚫ Streaming capability: Ingest data in an unblocking, and
reactive way from a large group of clients
⚫ Group records through RAC (Real App Clusters),
and Shard affinity using native UCP (Universal Connection
Pool)
⚫ Optimize CPU allocation while decoupling record
Processing from I/O
⚫ Fastest insert method for the Oracle Database through
Direct Path Insert, bypassing SQL and writing directly into the DB files

Oracle R2DBC
⚫ Oracle Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC)
⚫ Oracle R2DBC Driver is a Java library that supports reactive
Programming with Oracle Database
⚫ It implements the R2DBC Service Provider Interface (SPI) as
specified by the Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC)
⚫ The R2DBC SPI exposes Reactive Streams as an abstraction for
Remote database operations
⚫ The sample code uses Project Reactor. It could use RxJava, Akka,
or any RS library
⚫ Runs on Java 11+

From Sync to Reactive JDBC: Oracle R2DBC
static String queryJdbc(java.sql.Connection connection) throws
SQLException {
try (java.sql.Statement statement = connection.createStatement()) {
ResultSet resultSet =
statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS");
if (resultSet.next())
return resultSet.getString(1);
else
throw new NoSuchElementException("Query returned zero rows");
}
}
static Publisher<String> queryR2dbc(io.r2dbc.spi.Connection
connection) {
return Flux.from(connection.createStatement(
"SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS")
.execute())
.flatMap(result ->
result.map(row -> row.get(0, String.class)))
.switchIfEmpty(Flux.error(
new NoSuchElementException("Query returned zero rows")));
}
17. Virtual Threads or
Reactive?
• Oracle JDBC supports both!
• Want Virtual Threads?
• Oracle JDBC has been “Virtual
Thread Compatible” since 21.1.0.0
• Want Reactive?
• Oracle R2DBC 1.0.0 is available now
• Consume Flow interfaces directly
from Oracle JDBC’s Reactive
Extensions

18. Virtual Threads or Reactive?
• Benefits of Virtual Threads:
• Easier to read and write
• Easier to debug
• Integration with JDK tools
• Do not alter the basic concurrency model of Java
• Limitations of Virtual Threads:
• Some libraries are not compatible
• Still not in GA –> JDK 21
• JEP 425: Virtual Threads (Preview)
• JEP 436: Virtual Threads (Second Preview)
• JEP 444: Virtual Threads
Copyright © 2023, Oracle and/or its affiliates
Benefits of Reactive:
• Reactive Libraries (Reactor, RxJava, Akka, Vert.x)
• Stream-like API with a functional style
• Low-level concurrency is handled for you
(locks, atomics, queues).
Limitations of Reactive:
• Steep learning curve
• Harder to read and write
• Harder to debug
