Oracle Database 26ai

Oracle AI World 2025 delivered exactly what enterprises need: a clear path to making AI work with their existing data infrastructure. The announcements coming out of Las Vegas this year aren’t just impressive from a technical standpoint—they’re strategically significant for any organization that’s been asking the question: “How do we actually implement AI with our enterprise data?” Oracle’s answer is now crystal clear, and at RheoData, we’re ready to help you execute on that vision. Let me share what Oracle announced and, more importantly, how RheoData can help your organization leverage these innovations to accelerate your AI initiatives. The Oracle ACE Community: Where Expertise Meets Innovation One of the highlights of Oracle AI World was reconnecting with the Oracle ACE community—a network of technical experts who share knowledge and drive innovation across the Oracle ecosystem. At RheoData, we’re proud to be part of this community and bring that same collaborative spirit to every client engagement. The Oracle ACE Apprentice program continues to grow, offering professionals at all levels the opportunity to expand their skills and build their networks. This commitment to knowledge sharing is exactly what makes Oracle technologies so powerful—there’s an entire community dedicated to helping organizations succeed. When you work with RheoData, you’re not just getting a vendor. You’re getting partners who are deeply embedded in the Oracle community, who understand the latest innovations, and who have direct connections to the experts driving these technologies forward. Oracle Database 26ai: AI Architected Into Your Data Here’s the game-changer: Oracle Database 23ai has become Oracle Database 26ai, and this transformation represents Oracle’s bold vision of architecting AI directly into the core of data management. What Oracle announced: Oracle AI Database 26ai replaces Oracle Database 23ai with a massive expansion of AI capabilities across AI Vector Search, Agentic AI, AI management, AI Data Development, AI Analytics, and AI App Development. This is Oracle’s “AI for Data” strategy in action—making AI simple to learn, simple to use, and integrated throughout your entire data stack. The transition is remarkably straightforward. If you’re running 23ai, you apply the October 2025 quarterly Release Update. No complex upgrade. No application recertification. If you’re on 19c or 21c, you can upgrade directly to 26ai. For Autonomous Database customers, the upgrade happens automatically. Why this matters for your business: Your enterprise data is your most valuable asset, and now Oracle has made it AI-ready without requiring you to move data, rebuild applications, or sacrifice the reliability your business depends on. Oracle AI Database 26ai enables you to run dynamic agentic AI workflows that combine your private database data with public information to deliver sophisticated insights and actions. Advanced AI features like AI Vector Search are included at no additional charge. The platform supports the tools and frameworks your team wants to use—Apache Iceberg, Model Context Protocol, industry-leading LLMs, popular agentic AI frameworks, and ONNX embedding models. How RheoData accelerates your Database 26ai journey: At RheoData, we specialize in Oracle Database transformations and AI strategy. Here’s what we bring to your Database 26ai initiative: Strategic Assessment: We evaluate your current database environment and create a clear roadmap for leveraging Database 26ai’s AI capabilities Seamless Migration: Whether you’re upgrading from 19c, 21c, or 23ai, we ensure a smooth transition with zero downtime strategies AI Use Case Development: We help you identify and implement high-value AI use cases that leverage your existing enterprise data Performance Optimization: Our team ensures your Database 26ai deployment is architected for maximum performance and scalability Ongoing Support: We provide the expertise you need to continuously evolve your AI capabilities as Oracle releases new features We’ve guided numerous organizations through complex Oracle Database transformations, and we understand how to make these initiatives successful while minimizing disruption to your operations. Oracle GoldenGate: The Real-Time Data Foundation for AI Oracle GoldenGate has always been the gold standard for real-time data replication and integration, and the announcements at AI World 2025 reinforce why it’s essential for organizations building AI-ready data platforms. Key GoldenGate capabilities announced: Certifications for Oracle AI Data Platform and Autonomous AI Lakehouse — GoldenGate now integrates seamlessly with Oracle’s AI-optimized environments, eliminating ETL complexity and accelerating time to insights. GoldenGate for MongoDB Migrations 26ai — Expanding GoldenGate’s any-to-any integration capabilities for heterogeneous data environments. Enhanced Multicloud Architecture — Deploy GoldenGate across OCI, AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud with consistent performance and reliability. Tighter Integration with Database 26ai — Support for vector data types, JSON Relational Duality Views, and GoldenGate Data Streams enables real-time, event-driven AI architectures. Air-Gapped Replication — Deploy in Oracle Network Security Group environments for organizations with the strictest security requirements. GoldenGate Free — Enterprise-grade replication technology available for development, testing, and proof-of-concept projects. Why GoldenGate is critical for your AI strategy: AI requires fresh, accurate data. GoldenGate provides real-time change data capture and replication that ensures your AI models and analytics always work with current information. Whether you’re building machine learning pipelines, real-time analytics dashboards, or agentic AI applications, GoldenGate creates the data foundation that makes these initiatives successful.

OCI GoldenGate on Azure: Breaking Down Cloud Barriers The general availability of OCI GoldenGate integration with Oracle Database@Azure is transformational for organizations committed to Azure as their cloud platform. What this integration enables: Organizations can now run OCI GoldenGate natively in Azure data centers and manage it through the Azure console, providing seamless real-time data synchronization between Oracle databases and Azure services like Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Event Hubs, and Microsoft Fabric. The integration delivers minimal latency, unified management through Microsoft Entra ID, and creates true real-time AI pipelines by combining GoldenGate’s change data capture with Azure AI services.
