Zero Data Loss Protection with Local Autonomous Data Guard Standby

For Autonomous Data Guard, zero data loss protection (RPO = 0) is provided for a local standby database. Autonomous Data Guard performs automatic failover to a local standby database when a standby is available and the system guarantees zero data loss. If a data loss limit is specified (0 to 3600 seconds), failover occurs within the defined limit.

Migrate Data with DBMS_CLOUD_IMPORT

You can use DBMS_CLOUD_IMPORT to import data into Autonomous AI Database. DBMS_CLOUD_IMPORT supports Oracle source databases as well as non-Oracle databases, for example, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Amazon Redshift. You can import either the entire or the subset of the data stored in a supported source database.

Deprecated attributes

To improve the clarity and accuracy of the Support Management API documentation, several unused attributes are being deprecated. These ...

Oracle Spatial Studio

Oracle Spatial Studio provides a no-code user interface to access the spatial features of Oracle Database. The interface supports spatial data loading, preparation, visualization, and analysis. Spatial Studio is a fully integrated feature of Autonomous AI Database and appears in the Tool Configuration Tab on the Autonomous AI Database Details page. It is available only for the Elastic CPU (ECPU) model.

Granular Permissions for Autonomous AI Database Policies

The actiontype variables in Autonomous AI Database enables precise control over sub-operations like adminPassword, scheduledOperations, manageEncryptionKeys, and more during database creation or updates. This supports separation of duties, least-privilege access, and compliance, without disrupting existing broad permissions.

Secret-Based Password Authentication for Autonomous AI Database Users

With secret- based password authentication, you can create and manage database users whose passwords are stored as secrets in a cloud provider’s vault and referenced through a vault secret credential. The database fetches the password from the vault during authentication, generates verifiers only in memory, and does not persist passwords or verifiers on disk.

Select AI for Property Graphs

Select AI supports natural language to SQL (NL2SQL) generation for SQL Property Graphs. You can include one or more property graphs in an AI profile object list and issue natural language prompts that Select AI converts into PGQ (Property Graph Query) statements using the GRAPH_TABLE operator.

Clone ADMIN Privileges in Autonomous AI Database

You can use the DBMS_CLOUD_ADMIN_SEC package to clone the privileges and permissions assigned to the ADMIN user for a specified user account in Autonomous AI Database. This enables administrators to create named user accounts with the same privileges as the ADMIN user. It provides an alternative to using the shared ADMIN account improving security.
