Oracle AI Database 26ai replaces Oracle Database 23ai

Larry Ellison announced Oracle AI Database 26ai  today in his keynote at Oracle AI World conference in Las Vegas. And I am pretty certain you may want some clarification on what this means exactly.…

Oracle AI Database 26ai Free available for download. www.oracle.com/database/fre... I've done my first install.

Last Friday I had the honor of taking part in the jubilee concert celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Pruszkowianka Wind Orchestra. Great band and an unforgettable evening. www.facebook.com/share/1WHted...

Looks like it's not available anymore, my SR regarding this was closed with something like "Internal bug was submitted for investigation, but hey, we got that alternate features "Look-up By Error or Error Code's First Argument" or "Search by Stack Trace" added which replace it. For real?🤦‍♂️

ORA-600/ORA-7445 Troubleshooting tools on MOS are not working for me - at least since yesterday.

I just hate OEDA. You can't use it offline despite what the readme says (no, it doesn't save js libraries) and it's so damn bugged it's impossible to get what you need.

AHF 25.7 is marked as obsolete and cannot be downloaded. It's the latest available version. You can download it directly from the AHF Doc ID 2550798.1, but there are no checksums there. WTH?

Better yet, join next Tuesday's launch webinar! tanelpoder.com/posts/xtop-t...

For me just released SQLDev 25.2.2 finally started to work, I can now connect without getting some error and what's more even secure external password store (oracle wallet) connection type started to work! The only issue is when trying to connect from connections list, it expects to enter password.

Heads-up, we just pushed update 25.2.1 for our SQLDev extension for VS Code. Heads-up #2, be sure you're on VS Code version 1.101 or higher to get our extension updates!

#Oracle #Exadata System Software #25ai (25.2) is here! 🚀 Enjoy accelerated AI Vector Search, performance boosts, smarter #Exascale management, and enhanced security (SELinux by default). Thanks to our stellar Engineering & PM teams for making it happen! blogs.oracle.com/exadata/post/exadata252

Trying to make PDB relocation in availability max mode working (Doc ID 2771737.1) and it's a mess. PDB relocates successfully, but after opening it source CDB logs following error in alert.log: "ORA-12792: Network transfer operation aborted due to TTC error 3111".

Finally, after 8 months of waiting the #SQLcl 25.2 release fixes this issue. It took me great effort to fill the SR, deal with the clueless person handling it for several months, escalate, etc. to reach this goal. To just get back to where it was working in 24.1. Should be happy but I'm more tired.

...and unfortunately that was the case with SQLcl 21.1 up to 24.1, but since 24.2 it is not working anymore and requires additional ?tns_admin=<tns path> connection parameter ☹️ @thatjeffsmith.com @martindba.bsky.social - can anyone look at this regression?

Just spent several hours of diagnosing why java 1.8 won't start when executed from database on #Exadata 25 only to find out Oracle decided to omit /usr/java/default/lib/amd64/jli from /etc/ld.so.conf.d/dbmmgmt.conf 😠 And I think I know why...

Where is the Standalone CVU for Oracle Database 19 on Linux x86-64 ?!? For HP-UX Itanium CVU version 19.27 April 2025 was already released in Nov-2023 🤣

You can now use AutoUpgrade as part of your server provisioning to install an Oracle home on a brand-new server.

AutoUpgrade New Features: Install Oracle Home on Brand-New, Empty Server

You can use AutoUpgrade to install an Oracle home on a brand-new, empty server. Previously, AutoUpgrade used an existing Oracle home to determine how to create a new Oracle home. Now, you can use config file parameters to instruct AutoUpgrade on installing the new Oracle home. This allows you to use AutoUpgrade to prepare a new server for use with Oracle Database.

To my request in SR from 28-MAY to check it out support responded on 16-JUN "We checked the given patch rigorously and it seems to be working good." where previously they confirmed it failed to patch using the lib I provided from it. What they did not mention is the clone was updated on 13-JUN-2025.

Now it turns out the provided database software clone 19.27 (p37757478_1927000DBRU_Linux-x86-64.zip) is faulty as one-off patch application fails with relinking libserver19.a. 😠 Support reproduced it too. Don't use it, provision the home from base 19.3 image using AutoUpgrade for example.

Just noticed the download bookshelf link on #Oracle #Database #Documentation for 19c docs.oracle.com/en/database/... - docs.oracle.com/en/database/... contains documentation as of 2023.07.03 🥶 (oracle-database_19_20230703) This really should be up to date.

New OEDA 25.1.4 with fixed references to proper software clones was published late yesterday. Clones were published two days ago...

So the latest Oracle RUs (19.27, 23.8, etc.) were published a week ago, but latest OEDA version patch numbers point out to the actual patches not gold images, as the latter are still not available! I created SR for this and was asked to file Gold Image SR. Seriously is this the way it should work?

Call me old-school but Michael Schenker is my favorite rock guitar player. I was lucky to hear him play songs from UFO era this Thursday at Cracow Kwadrat club. What a blast! ✅ on my bucket list.

Have you seen new AI assisted search on MOS? I can see the potential here, but... Why 21c? Why fixed 280px answer area size? (increased it in console for the screenshot so you can see it all) And who can first spot where it hmm... let it's imagination run wild and misleads us?

I don't like creating SR's, but when I do them it means I have a serious business and need competent engineer to handle the case. Unfortunately that's a rare thing and most of the time I need to put way too much effort to reach that stage...

DevOps is widely adopted yet many developers still hesitate to apply its principles to their data stores. But there's no need for that—Database CI/CD is a reality. Not convinced?

Today I reanimated my good old Dell 2407WFP which went out with big pop and sparks last week. Fortunately lots of info on it on net - typical issue with leaking cap. New/used PSU board is cheap and quick option to fix it as too many elements are damaged when it happens to bother with replacement...
