Objectives:	Attendees will learn about the benefits of using the thick database approach. Demonstrate specific SQL and PL/SQL constructs: collections, dynamic SQL and PL/SQL Learn techniques to support stateless server-side programming.
Abstract:	The benefits of the "Thick Database" approach have been discussed extensively in the last year. What is missing is detailed information about how to implement this approach in real world projects. This presentation will provide a brief overview of the benefits of this approach and then discuss specific details about how to implement the approach in SQL and PL/SQL with emphasis on collections and dynamic SQL/PL/SQL. The presentation will also cover server-side support for stateless programming. This presentation is targeted at experienced PL/SQL developers.
